My verse for the day from my devotional is Romans 8:28, “ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.” I have a couple thoughts on this verse. First work together for means it hasn’t happened yet. It can be hard to find the positive when you’re in the middle of a struggle that isn’t ending. Only God can see the why of that particular struggle. I also believe obstacles are often put in our path for our protection. We can’t see what might be ahead, but God can. Preventing us from moving or going a particular way is often protecting us from harm. It’s hard not knowing why. It’s hard when you pray and get no answers. I don’t think that’s because God is ignoring me, but that He is telling me to wait. It’s not easy to wait either, but the working together for good has to come from God. I can’t push the cart myself and expect to get anywhere. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1. Same Psalm that says, “Be still and know that I am God…” I don’t have answers to anything. I just have to stop and wait. After the storm, then we sometimes have more clarity. But in it, not so much.

Now years later even before I started to watch I knew I have to give up sugar. Giving up gluten didn’t really help me because so much of the gluten free foods are loaded with sugar. Anyway, if you see me eating a chocolate bar, send help 🤣. I really want to wake up in the morning ready to start a day. Like that feeling on Christmas morning when you just can’t wait to get out of bed. What would it be like to feel like that every day? My pain is less some days than others. Exercise helps. I am thankful my God l...
