Only With God

How I was able to function all day was simply a miracle and a gift from God

Sept 3

I took my second to last antibiotics last night before I went to bed. Normally I would just eat a half of a banana so it wouldn’t upset my stomach, but I didn’t have any bananas. So I just grabbed a little something. I don’t even remember what it was because I didn’t think it would matter as long as I had something on my stomach when I took my meds. I was wrong. Boy, was I wrong. I was up almost all night. My stomach was torn up. It hurt just enough that I couldn't sleep. Around 3 am I couldn’t take it anymore and just got up. I was so tired I just sat in a chair in my living room. I was too tired to read or to try and write so I just sat, too tired to even think. I prayed a little and just sat a little. Finally it occurred to me to have a bowl of cereal, hoping it would help. I sat in the dark and ate. I waited a little longer for it to settle before I tried going back to bed. Finally in the early hours of the morning I fell asleep and slept until 10. Thank you Jesus. Honestly it wasn’t near enough sleep, but God really got me through the day. I made some phone calls I needed to make. I got to the chiropractor, and best of all, to my surprise, I got the pantry done.

To put up the cabinets, we took down some shelves. We moved the fridge and freezer to a different wall. This created a really big mess. I spent a good part of the day organizing and cleaning. I listened to a book as I worked, and it was such a quiet and peaceful day. It feels so good to have it done. I still can’t believe as tired as I have been all day, that I accomplished so much. Only with God.
