I've been so down lately. It only took a few days of feeling lousy to shift back into a bad frame of mind.
On Sunday at church we sang a Sacrament hymn called "Jesus Once of Humble Birth". I've sung it a thousand times and never thought too much of it but there is a line that says: "Once all things He meekly bore, but he now will bear no more". I couldn't finish the song because I was bawling.
I need to be meek, humble and kind no matter how sick I feel. I think it's just part of enduring and if I can make those changes maybe my body will relax a bit. The sun will keep rising and I will have to get out of bed every morning now matter how I feel so I am really going to try to enjoy the hard days as well as the fun ones.
I read a quote recently that said: "If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back". I've been thinking a lot about it. I've been noticing that those around me are all struggling in different ways. We all just pull together and help in any way possible to make each others' burdens lighter and that's all we can do. I most certainly have angels in my life who help lift my burdens.
I also keep waiting for a dull moment. Sometimes it feels like Dave and I are on a roller coaster that never stops or slows down but I was thinking about that too and, I LOVE roller coasters. So I accept the challenge. I'm going to have more faith that Heavenly Father knows what I need and try to be more patient with the health issues that I just can't understand right now.
I sent my blog out to some family members, curious to see if anyone has been through similar problems that might be hereditary. I am so overwhelmed by all of the responses and phone calls we got. Thank you for your encouragement, prayers and support. I learned a lot and have new research to do! I know that everything is going to be fine :)
