The past week has been one big blur for me. One week ago today, I woke up with a bowel blockage that has had me bed ridden for days. Yesterday was the first day that I have not had to take any pain or nausea medication since last week, and I am wading through a big thick fog.
I am so thankful for the medication that I have been provided with to assist in bringing relief, but I am not a fan of the side-effects once the medication has built up in my system. The medicine causes me to want to sleep continually and to not remember conversations (if you have talked to me during the last week, and I have sounded out of it, or said something crazy — I do apologize..haha). It was a rough week, and a sad one because I was not able to go on my trip to Texas. However, I am trying to trust in the Lord’s timing and I know I will get to visit Sara sometime in the future.
Last night in my quiet time with the Lord, He led me to Psalm 23, which brought much comfort to my soul. It reminded me that no matter the sickness I am facing, or the thick fog that may be blocking my view of life at the moment — I have Jesus who is my shepherd leading me every step of the way. He is my guide. He is my comfort, and offers me the restoration that I so desperately need.
“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake” (Psalm 23:1-3).
I am so thankful for this promise of truth from the Word today. Take some time and read this passage today and let the words refresh your soul. Let Him lead you.
