~ BE STILL ~
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
Be still, and know that I am God.
The Bible, Book of Psalms
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
I don't always know what "normal"
is. I'm learning that my disease keeps
me from having a normal relationship
with food, but I also know that there
are times when my feelings and thoughts
are due to normal circumstances. I might
not feel well physically, I could be
fatigued from a demanding task, or I
might simply be having an off day. There
are normal reactions to these situations
and I can feel them. Not everything is
caused by my disease!
However, the way I handle these kinds of
experiences can very much be affected by
my disease. On those bad days, I don't
have to make important decisions and I
don't have to filter experiences through
these thoughts and feelings. I can
postpone things until I'm on a more even
keel and, just for today, take care of
myself and do the next right thing.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I am grateful for the ways I am "normal"
and thank God for the knowledge that I
don't have to let my disease make me
think everything about me is "sick." Let
me simply be still on those uneven days
and know that God is God and He is
there.
