TIME FLIES.....AGAIN!

Seems like time is just whizzing past - the weeks fly faster and faster. It used to be said when you thought that way it was a sure sign you were getting older - well, even the young ones seem to think so now too.

A great part of the past weekend was spent in bed - a sure 'fibro flare' with all the old symptoms rearing their heads again. Amazing how quickly I can adapt to feeling good and then when the pain and fatigue hits I am caught totally unawares. In the good days / weeks it is easy to say that there's more to life than fibromyalgia (or any other debilitating ailment / condition), truth is that when it does hit, it takes my focus off the 'more to life' things and fair square on my limitations. And this is NOT what God intends or wants for me....He has bigger plans! To focus on my limitations is to focus on ME .....my focus must be on God Himself. O Lord, through all of this help me to keep YOU at the very centre of my focus, not to be distracted by that which I cannot control but rather to be drawn to You. Why O Lord am I so slow to learn?
