Refreshed

Today has been a fabulous, lounging kind of day. First of all, I went to worship like I wanted to soooo bad and I was so blessed by the music and the message. It was a much needed time to reconnect with my Lord and to be with my girls from SS.

We had a wonderful lunch provided by the company I work for...I forgot to mention what I'm going through health wise. I've been experiencing severe neck pain since Wednesday before last. I thought it was a crick in my neck, probably from sleeping wrong. But it continued to hurt me Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and on Monday - I didn't go to work, because I was so nauseous from the pain.

When I returned to work on Tuesday, the ladies I work with were concerned and persuaded me to call and make an appointment. I made an appt and immediately left for the Dr. During the visit, I had some x-rays and the Dr. saw something that didn't satisfy him that resembled possible calcification that had formed from an injury or something similar to a fracture. That reminded me of an injury that I received about seven or eight weeks before while jumping on the trampoline with the kids. But it didn't cross my mind that it could have resulted in my neck hurting this time. Anyway, they set me up to see an orthopedic doctor the following day. I went and they did more x-rays. The Dr. wasn't satisfied enough, so he insisted that I get an MRI. In the meantime, I was not permitted to go back to work until we found out more. I am supposed to go on Monday, still waiting for the pre-certification of insurance to go through before I can have the test. I'm taking muscle relaxers and pain medication to alleviate as much pain as possible. But, the pain is not going away. So, I'm a little worried.

Back to the food, the ladies at work called Honey Baked Ham and had them deliver me half of a HAM, garlic mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and carrot cake. The kids and I dug in and enjoyed every bite. I work for an amazing place where we are family.

I am a little anxious about the results and I'm trying to put it in God's Hands, remembering that He won't bring me to something without bringing me through it, regardless of the outcome. And that He has all the control and He loves me and whatever happens, it's for a purpose and for His Glory. So with that, I just go forward and try to live the way it pleases Him.

I've had a wonderful day and feeling refreshed spiritually. Hope everyone has a great week and I appreciate any prayers. =)

In His Grace,
