These words resound in my mind today as I face another day - waiting, praying, asking a lot of questions, reminding myself of simple little promises from God like this, and trying to keep my chin up amidst the pain.
Migraines. 7 straight days of migraines. I praise God for giving me some lucidity right now to even write about it.
Tomorrow I go to the neurologist to try to get some answers.
So, for the last 7 days I've been staying with my parents and have focused on trying to keep my mind off the pain.
I've been reminded of how much I love what I do, and I really miss being in the Prayer House, spending time with the Father on behalf of people in need-on behalf of a city in need. I've realized how much I truly cherish the people I've been walking with this past year. They've been such a strength to me, and I've learned so much from their devotion to the Lord. I can't wait to get back and walk out this journey - this lifestyle of prayer. I can't wait to move forward in the organic, relation-based ministry God's given me.
There's so many beautiful people - so many stories. Perhaps one day I'll be putting it all together in a book? Who knows.
But one thing I do know - there's treasure in Baltimore. There's so much purpose - so much potential. And I get to be a part of it.
So right now I'm continuing to take it easy. The other night I pushed myself to get back for the Thursday night prayer meeting I lead, and ended up not sleeping at all that night because the nautia and pain was so bad.
God knows what is best & I will follow Him. I just praise God for the beauty that I'm seeing right now in the things He's doing. Please keep praying for my health. It's been a continual struggle this year - if it's not one thing it seems to be another. But God is faithful. I have no doubt about that. And He's come through in some awesome ways.
Do it again, oh God!
