The Pit

At chapel today we had a great African American, Baptist, preacher. His topic was the pit - being in the pit of mirey clay... and our need for God in those times.

I am afraid I may be about to re-enter a familiar pit.

My joints have started to swell again. I keep trying to make excuses about the weather, stress of midterms and anything else I can think of... but there just excuses.

The truth is, I am in pain again. The truth is, the Lyme disease is not gone. The truth is I need to swallow my pride and call my doctor again. I need to stop pushing myself so hard. I need to slow down and start back on medication. I may need to take less classes next semester. I may not be able to take any classes next semester. I'm scared.

But - I am not alone. God is with me. God has a plan. I need to put my plans aside and listen to the one the Lord has for me.

I'm scared. I'm falling into a pit. Lord help me!

Hi Julie,

So, it's been a few weeks. Are you still having symptoms? Maybe you need to re-schedule that Dec. appoinment.
