Some days, there are more reasons for staying in bed, than there are for getting up!

I’ve decided that today is one of those days!

I must have spent too much time in the heat yesterday, and I’m feeling it this morning! Attempting to walk two doors down, just to use the restroom, made me feel old and feeble. I had difficulty convincing my left hip that it was needed, if I were to successfully climb the steps back up into the RV.

Aging is not for the faint of heart!

Were I to allow fear to overtake my senses, I would be paralyzed by loneliness, frustration, and self-pity. For the most part, I successfully walk by faith, accepting my suffering for Christ sake.

On days like today, when my walk is a bit too painful for me to handle without whining like a child, I opt for climbing back under the covers to wait for a better day. God watches over me there, just as much as he does when I get up and move about. Jesus sits with me, while I read the word, ministering to my weary spirit.

The bible says that we will suffer for our faith, but it also says that we do not walk alone. He will never leave, nor forsake us! So what if today is a sucky one! I don’t have to beat myself up, when I’m not able to run full throttle, as I once did. I’m confident that God matches my speed, however fast or slow it is!

Maybe God is trying to show me the places in my life that I’m still trying to carry too much? Most likely, I’ve been overthinking too much, regarding things that only God can handle. It is so easy to do, when things don’t go as planned in our lives.

Whatever the reason, God said I could stay in bed today, so I plan on it! It’ll give me a chance to visit all your sites and ready the posts that I missed this week, while I watch nature shows about the Congo.

Some days it is best to just turn the brain off, plug it in to a charging port of your choice, and do a hard reset!

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Get some rest today, folks, and spend time with those you love…
