Yes, I just named my own hurricane. At least I used an I to stay within the theme of Isaac! But seriously, I've got my own hurricane happening all around me! Today is day one of another step down from the benzo drug that I have been on. I have two more weeks left and then I am off of it for, hopefully,good! Praise the Lord. With that in mind, I am having to over come all kinds of mind wars today. Along with a plethora of other physical symptoms that are attacking me today, my legs act like they just don't want to work just about every other day and today is one of those days!
But guess what??? I am so not worried by this storm. Even though it seems like the battle is for my body, it's really for my mind. Even though my body is screaming at me at the top of it's lungs, the battle is still for my mind. Even though there isn't a physical cure for my body, there is for my mind, and therein lies my healing for every part of me!
John 14:27, " Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Ahhhhhh, I feel like my mind just ate a Reese's peanut butter cup (yes this is my favorite candy in all of the world, so this is a good thing ;-) But seriously, just one word from Jesus' mouth and my mind is renewed. That's amazing isn't it? My body is still screaming but my mind is renewed therefore my spirit man is alive and aware of the enemies schemes for me today.
So even though I don't feel free, I am free and my body will align in due time! In church yesterday, as I was worshiping, I usually have multiple conversations with God and yesterday I found myself repenting of all the times when I could raise my hands without issue in worship to Him and I didn't. I was repenting of all the times that I could stand on my legs with great strength and I didn't. All the times I could breathe with great ease and I took advantage of it. I know that I couldn't have known that this would be my journey then, but it sure does make me stay in a broken state before God and a grateful state for everything in my life.
This hurricane cannot have it's way, it may rain a lot and there may even be some wind damage, but the rain will dry up in the light of the Son and the wind damage will be repaired with the tools that He has given me. Even though this day isn't the way I would like it right now, it's still the day that God has made and I am going to make a choice to be glad in it!
