Slowly, that is. I’ve been stuck at home for the past three days, and have been forbidden to eat anything more than what’s needed to keep me awake (which is awful because eating is what I do when I’m stuck at home). I suppose I should explain why- I’ve been having some pretty unexplainable stomach issues and I’m not allowed to eat or do anything too strenuous until the doctors figure out what’s wrong.
I’ve always been lactose intolerant, so having GI problems is not new to me. But, whatever is going on now, is not like what I’ve had to deal with in the past. (Although, I did eat a good bowl of sherbet a day before this all started happening- my doctor wasn’t too happy about that.) The docs don’t know what’s going on- they said it could be a number of issues that can only be narrowed down with tests. I really don’t like tests, especially the kind he was explaining. I was half tempted to say “nevermind, doc, I feel much better already!”
This is kind of a blessing in disguise, though. It wasn’t too long ago that I noticed that I had been spending less time with God and more time focusing on life. I knew it wasn’t a good thing, and I wasn’t all that pleased with it; so, I prayed to God and asked Him to help me find more time to spend with Him. Then, BAM! This happens, and I have had all this week to be at home and plenty of time to spend with God. Moral of that little story: be careful what you pray for- you never know how God will respond. I have had a lot of time to pray, read, write, spend time with God; so I really can’t complain all that much (except for this pain I have in my stomach. Just a small price to pay).
So, my Tumblr friends, I’m asking that you say a prayer for me. I’d really like to get back on my feet and be normal again (and be able to eat a delicious steak, and pizza, and cake, and…okay, I’ll stop).
Happy Thursday to you all, and God bless!
