As I write this, hurricane Irma has been pillaging and plundering the south eastern US. Hurricanes scare me, but not for the normal reasons. I’m afraid of how my nervous system responds to the drastic drop in barometric pressure.

Humbly Trusting
I love how I can find exactly what I need to hear when I need to hear it in God’s Word. I’ve been struggling with discontentment—again—and I started reading where I had left off in Luke. Luke 1:28-38 was the perfect reminder of what my response should be to the circumstances God has allowed in my life.
The Nine-Year Blessing
Nine years ago today, I had my first HM attack. The journey since was not one I ever imagined taking. Like all journeys, there have been ups and downs. There have been detours and delays. Through it all, though, my “navigational system”—my God—has been faithful.
Prayer and Promises
I’ve recently started reading through the Gospels again. I love how much you can learn about our God through them.
Counting It Joy
I am learning to view my HM as a blessing. There are things I have learned because of it that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise—things about God and about myself.
His Grace Is Sufficient
It’s hard to push on when I don’t feel well. It’s hard to make myself do things that I need to do but don’t feel up to doing. I suppose this is a common struggle for those who have chronic illnesses. Some of my friends who deal with chronic illnesses have told me that they just push through the hard days. How do they do it? The way my HM works, if I push too hard I’ll crash even harder. It’s hard to find the balance.
The Worry of Being Well
I saw my doctor again this week. He was very pleased with how well I’m doing. I am, too. I haven’t had a truly bad day in a very long time. And I am very, very grateful. But I have this fear lurking behind my gratefulness.
The Test of Time
I am so tired of dealing with my migraines. I hate the pain and the nausea and the dizziness and the fatigue and everything else that comes with an attack. I especially hate the unpredictability of them.
A Foundational Relationship
When the foundation of our faith is not Christ and His forgiveness of our sins, our faith will not support us.
Not Wasted
Sometimes, I catch myself thinking my life is being wasted. I’m 30, yet I have no husband, no children, and—until a very short time ago—no job. Some days, I can't even get out of bed and do anything. I feel as if I’m just existing, waiting for my life to be over, with little to show for it. It seems like such a waste.
