Health and Hiatus

I'm not taking a hiatus; I am coming back from one.

Life gets busy and I cling to the 30-45 minutes I have in the morning to spend with Jesus and journal but I don't seem to get through the surface level thoughts when my days are so hectic.

So what have I been up to?

Well... master's oral exam, planning 24/7 week of prayer on campus, spring break in Chicago serving at Cornerstone Community Outreach,day-long Dr appointment, teaching, grading, homework, more planning, speaking at kick-off event for 24/7 week of prayer, paperwork, looking for a job (sort of), praying, Bible study.

For the record, I love where I am at. I love what God is doing in my life. Its just that in busy seasons as this, I really miss the time I get to spend resting with Jesus, praying, journaling, processing. Not that I can always retreat from life, but things are a little out of balance at the moment.

I also run into my limited physical capacity. I can't keep up with most people or even the pace that I set for my own life. I struggle with the lack of control over my legs. This whole experience with alternative medicine has been very positive. My doc is a real comedian but with a real determination to help people. What he's doing is working, it is taking time and resources. I fear saying this but I am praying for provision so I can go back. At this point, I can't go back, even though where treatment stopped, has me even more unsteady on my feet.

I think the next post for me will be about the relationship between suffering and God's compassion and power to heal. See, that is going to take one of those really good sessions with Jesus first.
