So…last night was the first night without the strong meds. Well … lowered meds. I haven’t slept this well since before my second round of Covid. Thank you Lord!!!!!
Quick recap: I was incorrectly prescribed a narcotic medication for years. My new doctor is taking me off of it slowly but surely. Withdrawal from this med can be severe – one side effect terrible nightmares and no sleep. But my God in his awesome mercy? Allowed me to sleep better than I have in months.
Thank you sweet and heavenly father.
Also? We came really really close to placing an offer on a house. I agreed to it partly because it was the first good house we saw since looking (outside of new builds) and partly because I wanna get out of this current house already.
But before we did – we prayed. Heavily. And? We didn’t place the offer and actually realized we were limiting God and what he can do in our lives.
And? We found a bigger house. In a quieter neighborhood. Even lower in price. Thing is it’s farther than we originally had planned. Are we gonna place an offer?
No – I mean we hafta see it in person first. But? Know that we are gonna bathe it in prayer. That’s the thing to remember. Pray first.
My husband and I when we were first married made a rule that if a question needed a quick answer (like life changing questions) and we couldn’t pray about it? We would say “no” – something I might add we didn’t do when we rented this house…
So we’ve been learning our lesson. Please my friend – learn from my mistakes!!!! Take it to God in prayer first! So so so so so so important!!
Lord thank you for all that we have been going through because you are teaching me so much. Thank you. I praise you for you are good and so faithful even when I’m not. Please forgive me for my doubts and fears. I continually commit my health and this house search to you. Please heal me of my illness and please grant us wisdom on where to move. I ask that our new house would be well built in excellent condition and in a good neighborhood. But most importantly? I ask that not our will but yours be done.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
Proverbs 3:5-6
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
