Well finally feeling much better, I think it was a combo of weather change and allergies, so looks like I'll survive!
When you have problems who is the first one you turn to for relief? If you are like me, my first response is to try to fix things myself. Then I might try the internet and when I'm at the end of my rope I remember God. Now if I'd do that in reverse my situations would be resolved much sooner. Not to mention if it is a matter of the heart there's not really much I or the internet can do. Only God can heal our hearts and the pain in them. So when your heart is in pain skip the earthly ways of comfort and turn to our God who can truely heal the pain.

God bless!

 Hi Karen,
This message reminds me of an incident early in my divorce days.  In AA, we encourage one another to get phone numbers of others in the program, women with women, men with men, and call if the urge to drink comes up.  Well, I was going through the usual emotional rollercoaster of divorce early in recovery, and made about 10 phone calls.  I got voice mails, and husbands, but no women from AA on the phone.  I was so discouraged, till I heard God say to me, "You haven't tried Me."  I still have my first instinct to call someone, or act out in self-defeating, unhealthy ways, but I am getting better at calling on the Lord in times of need.

I would appreciate prayers, coz, I am having terrible sinus allergy stuff, with a low grade fever to boot.  I am either hot, or cold.  I can't find a happy medium.

Talk to you soon.

Hugs,
Trish
