Understanding

Anyone that has known me for any of the last five and a half years probably knows that I live with pain from an injury. I have a friend I hung out with today who said something I had never thought of.

My friend said that God is okay with us not being okay and we don’t have to be superheroes everyday just because we are Christians. In a nutshell they said that sometimes when they are the most at peace is when they acknowledge that, that specific day is not the best and that they aren’t feeling good.

Those of you who have known me recently probably know that I do until I fall over. Then I sleep for days and most of the time get rather sick. A lot of people say all kinds of things about my work ethic and everything else because I only work part time. They say I have fibromyalgia, though I don’t believe them I do get tired and my muscles are weaker than they once were. This realization came to me today; that it is totally okay to be at the place God has put you because you may not know the reason that you are there. God loves us where we are at, if other people can’t, that’s their problem.

I really began to realize today that it’s okay to not be 100%. I thought about something else too; I don’t know how I did it with out the pain meds that I have now, with out them I am a miserable person and don’t want to move at all. I don’t remember what it was like, but I don’t want to either. Sometimes we are best not remembering being superheroes and just being ourselves the way we are now, taking one moment at a time.
