Trouble...

I haven't slept from about 1 or 2 am until 4 or 5 am in days. I am having a flare up of pancreatitis. It's been a year since I have had that and I'm not sure of the cause this time, but it's painful and frustrating. My body pain is up, my legs are weak, lymph nodes in my neck are swollen, I'm sweating all night despite normal ambient room temperatures and I'm tired. I kind of ignored and made light my symptoms the past few days hoping they'd pass and it was just a one day thing, but I can't ignore this achy pancreas. It's really disappointing, frustrating, disheartening...you have no idea. Well, maybe some of you do.

  1. Nicole- This road we always take a few steps forward and then one back it seems. Pain- I could do w/o it forever..... I try to thank the Lord for it and let it drive me to my knees but it wears you out in a way that other things don't. Praying for you friend..... for rest, comfort, answers and peace. Thankful we have a Savior who understands....

  2. Dear Nicole, I'm praying for you today, that the Lord would give you wisdom and patience while you're enduring the pain and discouragement, that you would be able to rest. But most of all, that He would, in His great mercy, heal you.

    Psalm 103:2- Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities; Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
    Love,
    Renee (I don't know why this thinks I'm Davey, but it's me :-) )
