Pain is But a Trial.

Hello People,

Yesterday, I was excited to write my first draft of a paper for a college course I am taking. The style was “This I Believe” and I chose to write about overcoming challenges. I have many, as do all of you. The challenge I chose to write about is very close to my heart. It is something I don’t share very often and no, I won’t share it here.

The conclusion of my essay was centered on Christ and His infinite sacrifice for me. ME. I know He lives and because of that, I can overcome all things.

“God doesn’t take away

My pain right away.

He lets me wait and learn.

Or he shows me another way out

That I didn’t think of before.

That’s usually what happens.

But I feel better talking to Him

Than keeping it to myself.”

To the New Blues

Hello Everyone,

“Snow is melting all around. On the housetops, on the ground.” YAY! I am so excited for the snow slowly creeping back into the earth, except for the massive puddles I now have to leap across. I really hope there isn’t going to be more. Well, not until NEXT January…I can deal with that. ^_^

I have been having some pretty nasty migraines for the past 6 months. I went to my primary care and talked to the other Dr. (mine was on maternity leave) about them. He thought they were caused by muscle tension in my forehead. I tried what he suggested for another month or so, then went back when my Dr. was back. She and I discussed what was going on, symptoms and such, along with diagnostic possibilities. We both came to the same conclusion (I had previously come this same idea, before). I needed to see the Optometrist. I had seen him just 6 months ago, however! I didn’t think my prescription had changed at all. I was 100% correct.

What is next? I don’t know. All I know for now is I am really sensitive to light. Though, there is an upside to having an appointment today…I GET NEW GLASSES! #fantasticallyblue

Until tomorrow, Shelbs @_@
