Perspective

I'm sick of being sick and tired of being tired. Blah blah blah. I am still couched unless I *have* to do something like work... Or sing. Worship time went well at NDC this morning - just me and Anna - but that was simply God taking over and me trusting. I was hacking up hairballs during practice, but the service went well. Before the service I was literally curled up in a seat...wanting to be back on the couch. This is the worst stage of sick because I don't look too sick, or sound sick, I am just...exhausted. Maybe it is a diabetes thing. All I know is that I am lethargic and blurry headed. Blah, blah, blah.

So, after a two hour nap, I decided to catch up on the blogs that I have listed over there to the right. And when I got to The Simple Wife my whining ground to a stop, and PERSPECTIVE was gained. Joanne is a writer, blogger, 38 year old mom of two young girls. She was a seminary student for a while. She has a ministry regarding marriage ups and downs. She and her husband share a blog too. She leads Bible studies. Although she is more together and more well known, I feel an affinity to her, and I enjoy her blog. I had not visited for a month or so, so I was shocked to read that a couple weeks ago she had a major stroke, and she is still fighting for her life. I just read many blog and Twitter updates, and shed more than a few tears. I am praying for a dear sister I have never met.

I gained some perspective. I am thanking God for the simple annoyance of a sinus infection and a few weeks on and off the couch.

Perspective. It's a good thing.
