Purpose in the midst of pain.
Today, I asked God to help me overcome those things in my life that cause the “triggers” that make me want to “medicate to regulate” the pain I am going through. By His grace He did, and He gave me the strength to avoid the usual trappings and to live today, one step at a time. It always helps me to make a list of the things in my life that I have to be thankful for. Even in the worst of times, there are things I know I can thank God for, even if it seems minscule at the time.
Sometimes I listen to old songs on the radio or find something like this YouTube, that makes me laugh. It takes my mind off of the pain and the temptation to regulate. I know the Lord has a sense of humor and wants to make us laugh!
