In the past 4 or so days my right knee has been a bit swollen. When I get in to my bed and put weight in that knee I can tell it is swollen. It hurts. I walk up and down steps throughout the day, multiple times a day. It hurts. So here I sit in my chair with my 1 liter bottle of water and my salad filled with iron rich foods.
Another reason I need to rest is because, plainly speaking, I'm anemic. It takes me off my feet and I get exhausted easily. If only I had a hem to touch from the Master's garment, then I wouldn't be so tired. Rest assured, I am under my Dr's care. I am going to a specialist next week to see what the next step will be. I will update as soon as I know.
What do I do when I need to rest? I ask for the kids to help me more. I'll ask my husband for grace and he grants it. I feel guilty for needing to rest, but this is only for a season.
I had my 2 youngest do some cleaning in the basement today and they found a bit of mold, so they took it upon themselves to take care of things there. The bookshelves have been burned because they were old and needed to be replaced anyway. They had to get rid of some of our books too, but it's all ok. It was a good learning experience for them to know that they need to help me keep the dehumidifier running.
Needless to say, there are books everywhere in the basement now. So, we will be packing up books, setting some aside to sell and keeping others out for use until we move. These kinds of things invariably happen when we're going to have company. My daughter is having a friend stay the weekend and some other friends are coming for pizza on Saturday. LOL As you can surmise, I'm getting a little more than desirous to get moving on my own preparations, but if I'm needing to rest, then the chair is where I'll need to be.
God's timing is always the best. His ways are not our ways, so I have to trust that He has all this under control knowing that we have hearts in the right place.
Leaning on Him,
