I started reading an ebook, a 21 day devotional called 21 Days to Finding Purpose in the Pain. It's actually not even available yet but goes on sale April 15th. I just happen to know the author, Stacy, she's my twitter/blogging friend. I admire Stacy because she has lived with chronic pain since she was a child. Her attitude and perspective are amazing.
Right now I am dealing with physical pain and discomfort. I am generally a very healthy person and rarely sit still. However, about 1 week ago, at the tail end of my trip to Ethiopia, I got very sick and am still on the mend. I must admit, I hate it, I hate sitting here day after day feeling so weak and just wanting to get up and take care of my family. It's hard but when I read Day 3, early this morning, I was reminded that there are times that God wants us to slow down and be still. If we aren't disciplined enough to slow down ourselves, He will slow us down. I can't help but wonder if this is Him slowing me down. I am trying so hard to just rest in Him right now but as a very active person, this is challenging for me. I'm thankful for this 21 day devotional and feel like the timing is right for me to be reading through it. I'll make sure to post the link for the ebook on April 15th, it's full of truth and encouragement.
