Feb 15

545a throat not as swollen. Benadryl helped. Need to learn how to juice on my own. 90% of store juices have bananas in them of which I’m allergic to. Whole body aches but not as bad as the weekend. Sinuses congested. Headache. Exhausted.

Every gasp of nervousness or fear on interstate or in traffic causes my nerves to sting! Semi just cut us off.

Psalms 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

650 back home safe. Headache worsening. Load in washer. Need to rest a bit.

800 didn’t plan on sleeping that long.

300 stopped at Wal-Mart to get few items with kids.

400 on way to pick up Joe from work, guy cuts me off. Scares me but bc he’s on Dezirae’s side it make me angry . I think it through and just decide to blubber to myself. Don’t hurt my baby girl or I’ll hurt you.

728 costochondritis rearing its ugly head! Sharp immense stabbing pain in center of chest. Chest keeps popping if I move much in any direction. Reclining in chair with heating pad square in center of chest.

700 hard freeze warning…it’s 20° outside.

Woke to arms and hands tingling. Sinuses congested. Headache. Neck hurts. Feels like I broke a fever. Whole body aches deeply. Tired. Calves burn as if I just walked a mile. Feet feel like I’m stepping on broken glass as I stand. Vision is blurry making reading very difficult. Low back throbbing.

Read Numbers 14-15, 1 John 3:10-12, Psalm 69:13,

1000 Curious? Do you ever find yourself gazing over your life and just feel overwhelmed by God’s grace?

As I’m trying to gather information for taxes, I begin to think about my children… We will have one graduating from college and getting married next year. Our second son graduates high school this year, and then I will only need to prepare curriculum for our daughter who will be a Sophomore in high school. All I can say is Thank you, Lord!

You see I was struck by lightning 3.5 years ago. I sustained multiple health issues as a result…TBI (traumatic brain injury) is one of them. Many of my symptoms will most likely be lifelong and majority of doctors have no idea how to help. Though I look fine on the outside, I am in constant pain and headaches/migraines are a regular occurrence.

I feel like I lost three years of my life because I was just surviving and barely could comprehend what was going on in my life. Yet, I strove to keep moving forward while leaning on the Lord and my family. It was sometime last year that the fog I was living in began feeling like it was lifting and life began looking a bit clearer. Miraculously our brains are designed to heal themselves.

I stand amazed at how the Lord is bringing me through and is allowing me to continue to be used for His glory.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

1200 center of chest is hurting horribly!!!! Sharp stabbing pain stops me in my tracks.

530 worked on trying to gather tax info for CPA most of day with breaks in between. Migraine oncoming. Brain hurts. Vision blurred & fogged. Feet freezing. Chilling sensation at base of brain. Took Excedrine migraine to stop it. Resting for night. Almost ready to take info to CPA I think.

550 center of back freezing cold.

1120 took several hours for feet to warm up to room temp. Migraine gone but still have bad headache. Took night meds. Noticed I forgot to take morn meds. Oh bother.
