Life...In Perfect Balance

I have decided that despite the negative circumstances of my health right now I would try to focus daily on what God wanted to teach me through all of this. Wednesday I found myself admitted to Barnes Jewish Hospital on Thursday I found myself curled up into the fetal position on a hospital bed while someone sticks an awful long needle into my back and this crystal clear fluid poors forth from my body. SOUNDS great huh. I mean the crystal clear part not the needle part. It was from this experience in my life that I learned that God created Life to be in a perfect balance. He created our bodies with just the right amont of heart, the proper amount of lung tissue, just the right size kidneys and oh by the way....a PERFECT BALANCE of cerebral spinal fluid....yeah the pretty crystal clear stuff. Well guess what without a perfect balance of cerebral spinal fluid the meningies that cover your brain sag down onto the brain and it seems as though they have lots of little nerve endings that create an awful excruciating headache when not left in its perfect balance. I have spent the last 2 days lying flat to avoid the seering pain of sitting or standing, along with the deafness in my left ear that also occurs with sitting or standing. But in all this I see it so clearly that is exactly how God wants us to understand HIM. He created us to live in His perfect balance and without him there seems to be just enough imbalance that pain starts to creep in, our lives are transformed from what we knew of them to now trying to figure out how to deal with this new presence of pain in our life.....look at a young 2 or 3 year old they run about with joy, laughter without a care in the world....the balance has not yet been broken in their lives and they know not of the pain that life ahead of them holds. But yet God offers us hope for the pain Matthew 16:20 I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. you will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, BUT I will see you again and WILL rejoice and NO ONE will take away your joy. So for now I continue to seek that perfect balance of God in my life because without him.....I'm finding Life is one HUGE headache.For by letting Christ just seep out of your life in even the smallest ways can cause the most excruciating pain. AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. Even in these dark painful days.
