The Silver Lining

Ah, our Sweet God has finally shown me the silver lining...

The silver lining is the part that makes the pain worth it. So I have a silver lining to my belly pain - and it's wonderful. :-)

All this time with all this emotional pain, I've kind of isolated myself from everyone around me but tried to keep up with the daily demands and hectic schedule that is my life - tried to juggle all of it at once. Hard to make progress running like that. It occurred to me that this belly pain was timed perfectly to carve out the space and time I needed in order to process the memories that have recently hit and all of the emotions that have come with them. I don't know that I ever would have done that for myself on my own... so I can praise God that He had a purpose in it. And I figure, even if they didn't find anything this surgery, that this means that God really does have a plan in this. For the first time, I actually have peace about whatever happens next.

Praise God!

Little did we know the healing would not be physical :-) I know it's real because this post does not even sound like you!
