Choose to Believe

Matthew 1:20 – But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Thankful that in the face of adversity Joseph chose to believe the Lord and faced the battle with courage and strength, knowing that God had a divine plan for it all.  We may not understand the sorrow or turmoil we face here on earth, but God can turn our sorrows and pain into eternal joy if we allow Him to work in and through our lives.

8:28a- Ruth 1:16
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

Thankful for Ruth’s unwavering love and loyalty.

Actually slept 6 hours last night.  Woke up in a sweat. 

Decided to drink a cup of Yerba Mate tea this morning.  Felt jittery and anxious all day.  Didn’t figure out why until around 8:30pm.  Legs cramping a lot today.  Had hard time walking in store.

Sharp prickly pain in upper back.  Stomach has been hurting past couple of days.  Not PMS cramps…something different.  Tired but wide awake.  Think I’ll read some or watch a movie.

Galatians 6:7-10
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Took me forever to fall asleep past night…I think it was after 1 am.  Hands swollen and tingly.  Stomach pains.  Mid & lower back achy.

Ephesians 6:12-13
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Thankful for the strength in the Lord to protect us from the wiles of the devil and the fiery darts of the wicked.

Had bloody nose on way home from church.  Stressed over trying to write final exam for ASL 2.  Then got in trouble because engine making funny sound…upon Joe’s investigation, found that oil cap popped off and spewing oil into engine.  Joe not happy at all!!!  Jordon found cap.  Thank you, Lord.  Rt hip throbbing and making me very uncomfortable.

8:05a- Even with taking Melatonin I woke up a few times last night due to extreme pain.  Once was due to cramping in left calf muscle…like a Charlie horse.  Once due to cramping in back muscles.  Another time when I heard thunder & lightning & rain dripping on recycle bin outside (seriously need to move it elsewhere.  Constant dripping noise is irritating).  Woke in extreme pain!  Hands swollen & throbbing, skin itching, feet tingling, left calf muscles still crampy, low back aches, rt hip throbbing.  Pain is at a 7+!

Didn’t sleep well again last night.  Woke several times.  Once to loud unrecognizable noise.
