migraines and other uncomfortable things.
Today I haven't crushed my life.
In fact, if I am being real I basically failed. I struggle with migraines and I woke up this morning in shooting pain. I could barely be upright all day because it made me feel like I was going to be sick.
I don't get migraines like this very often but when I do I decommission me, sometimes for quite a bit of time.
As I am laying in my bed, where I have been the whole day, about to turn in for the night, I am fighting those feelings of failure. And yet, instead of succumbing to those feelings, I am attempting to cover my heart in truth.
Sometimes thing are out of our control.
When I get a headache like this, all I can do is wait for it to pass.
I can't always figure out why it came. I can't always treat it. All I can do is wait.
As I lay here, rather frustrated, I'm struck by a lesson in all of this.
Sometimes uncomfortable things happen to us in life that are totally out of our control. We can't change them. We don't know the reason for them. We simply have to wait until the season passes.
Waiting is not something we revel in.
Today has NOT been my favorite waiting for this migraine to pass. It felt wasted.
One of the mottos of my life, however, is that nothing is wasted in the hands of the Lord.
You see all day long, I was force to rest. This week, promises to be stressful. I know that going in. A project that I have worked on for MONTHS is moving into a giant new phase and it will be my responsibility to oversee every step.
So in a strange way, as much as it frustrated me, I think my bed was the place I needed to be today. I needed to be peaceful and well rested for the week ahead.
So when you find yourself stuck somewhere frustrating that doesn't make sense. Don't forget, you may be exactly where the Lord wants you to be. He knows things you don't know and you can bet, He is working out all the details of things you have maybe never even dreamed are coming in the future.
Just wait.
