I have a migraine again. I am starting to think it is somehow tied to the tooth that is still hurting me. The Endodontist (sp?) called today, so it will be another week and a half until I get seen.
On a very positive note, I finally got Cymbalta again. This is a miracle drug that really affects me in so many positive ways. It is a wonder drug for my Lupus. I feel better when I take it. When I was on it, I had so much energy and felt awesome and could move without pain (or at least not crippling pain). I was zip lining down mountains, and went to barely being able to move. I am so thrilled to have insurance again!!!

Where is my actual crown.
Went to dentist, about tooth that was hurting. Left 5.5 hours later with a new crown AND the tooth was the reason I went, was left untouched. Apparently, the new crown that I got 6 months ago, well they think is fractured. So, Endodontist (sp?) Monday and then we'll see. My mouth hurts tonight. They did about 6 procedures. Also, apparently, they think I need another crown. I can't afford all this crap. Ugh. At least my ear is numb. No really. That is how far the numbing went. I needed three different shots, because the numbing didn't exactly work. Good times.
I asked where my actual crown was, that if you had to get a crown on your tooth, you should get a crown to wear.

Faith Narcolepsy
This is what I am defining what I seem to be doing these days. I am going on just fine. God is good. God is great. God is going to see us through this situation. New contact? Bills due? Nothing on the horizon? No problemo. God has it under control!!! Then...
It seems I fall asleep at the faith wheel. I wake up and then AAARRRGGGHHH What is happening?? How are we going to make rent????????? The sky is falling!!!
Then, I jolt myself and remember who I am, and that I am God's favorite kid and He will take care of me, and all is right with the world...until I fall asleep again.
So, the question I have is, how do I keep from being a narcolept? I am getting a clearer handle on the situation, but I'm pretty sure that it is keeping my eyes fixed on Jesus. It's like Peter. He was so afraid, the wind was blowing. The rain was coming down. It was scary. Jesus was walking on water. WALKING ON WATER. He called out to Peter, and asked him to come, and he did. He climbed over the railing and didn't think twice.
It was when he started looking around and saw his circumstances that he began to sink. This is where most people leave off the story. However, he called out to Jesus and he was able to walk back to the boat.
Perhaps right now, like me, you are in your own storm. Everything looks creepy and scary. You can't really see a way out. Well, Jesus is waiting to take your hand and help you walk on your circumstances. There isn't one thing God is not able to do for you. Sit back. Keep your eyes on Him. Remember who God is, and what He was willing to do just so you could have eternal life. If God is willing to sacrifice His own son, and raise Him from the dead, what is He willing to do for you in your life right now? Let this be a time of rejoicing. You have a front row seat to see how awesome God is, and what He can do in your life.
Standing on the promises with you,
Marie

Tea, Earl Grey, White
It makes everything better. I think from my post yesterday, it is obvious that I should not give up caffeine. Apparently, it fills in the holes of my personality! Today, I am going to organize my pantry. Even though our time here in Denver is limited, I brought some of my beloved pop-up containers back from Oklahoma. If you didn't know, I have a bum wrist, so opening Tupperware containers is near impossible on bad days. OXO has these amazing containers with a pop up. They are easy to use and best of all, they are clear, so you can see what you have and what you need.
So, right now, besides the awful no Coke days, I have been really working to subdue my natural self and not worry. I mean, hello. The God of the Universe is looking out for me. Why do I feel He needs my advice? P.S. He doesn't. We are definitely living by faith these days. My poor husband got shingles at 26!! Crazy. When he doesn't work, he doesn't get paid. We were nearly 3 weeks without pay. On top of that, his contract hasn't been renewed. So, what is the first rule of Hitch Hiker's Guide? Don't PANIC!!!
God has it all under control and I am honestly joyful, because I am being stretched a little more. I love when God does this, because it means that He trusts me enough to test me, and loves me enough to want to get rid of old insecurities and give me new purpose and peace.
What are you trusting God for?
