Diabetes, what a wonderful thing! I am grateful when I was diagnosed at 14 no one told me how bad it could really get! Over the years you hear people say, don't let the diabetes control you, control your diabetes! Well that's all fine and dandy, but its easier said then done. The last few days I have been feeling like an 80 year old man. I am still hurting from my sledding accident, but that seemed to be getting better but the last few days I have been hurting. Then you thorn in my "mental problems" the major depression and anxiety and it's been a rough few weeks. We all have our thrown in the flesh, but sometimes I would like to just have all the thorns in my life gone.
It is so easy for me to loose perspective on life while I am suffering. I often think what good am I to this world. I try to work for an hour or an hour and a half and I end in bed for three days! It gets so frustrating.
Today I started out o.k. but could not stay for all of the stuff at church today. And Easter is my favorite holiday. And I was planning on being around people today so I would not have a pity party about not being with my kids. But I am learning, slowly, that in these times of pain, frustration, I need to cling to Jesus. And hold on to the verse below!
Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest
25 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:25-30
