Yesterday I was incredibly sick with what I’m guessing was a 24 hour bug.  Throwing up every hour on the half hour for what felt like an eternity and then when that stopped I had full on body aches and a high fever.  Even running my hands through my hair hurt on a level like I don’t ever remember it hurting.  Through it all though, something in my heart still gave praise to God.  There were short windows where I would feel well, about 30-45 mins each and during one of those windows I played a song that I newly learned.  Part of the lyrics say “in my weakness you are merciful” and I started to cry as I sang them out loud.

It is so true.  In our moments of weakness, physical or spiritual, God is still merciful, He is still good.  I was blessed beyond measure to have it happen while I was home visiting family so that my mom could take care of me. Just a few years shy of thirty and I was lucky enough to still have my mom nurse me back to health.  She quickly went out to get ingredients for chicken soup, sugar free jello (I’m diabetic), low carb Gatorade, and saltine crackers.   At one point when my fever was raging high and I could barely move from pain, she actually spoon fed me some jello and gave me Gatorade through a straw because I hadn’t had anything for a bit.

God gives us what we need when we need it! Even more, the doctor I’m working with this month told me I could take today and tomorrow off to get better and come back on Weds.  What blessings! What mercy!  God, You truly outdo what I am worthy of! Thank You Jesus!!

Thank You Jesus that in my weakness, You truly are merciful! Thank You Jesus that in all times, You are good! Thank You Jesus that there is none like You and You truly do watch over us 🙂  Praise You Jesus! Praise You God for Your little miracles 🙂
