Focus

Every once in awhile, believe it or not, I get serious. It doesn't happen often, I mean life is just too short and there's so much to do. So I try and find the humor and laughter and joyness in everything I do. And because of that, I do love life.

But for those of you who know me, you know that since about last October I have been dealing with a shoulder issue. One in which I have done physical therapy, gotten shots, and taken anti-inflammatories for. There was a short period of time where it was better and I was feeling good, not doing my exercises, simply because I forgot, and I thought it was all better. And then I overdid and my arm got yanked around a little bit and pain came back in full force.

So I've been takin it easy on the right side, and last Friday night I was with some friends at a worship event called Overflow in Topeka. It was awesome, but as we started singing my shoulder begin to hurt and I thought this isn't the time, I can't go take anything. And then I decided I was giving it to God, not just the "ok God it's yours," but the "I know You are God and can do anything, I'm taking my focus off of me and my arm and putting it on You." And my arm stopped hurting the way it had been, and I was able to fully focus on worshiping the Great Healer.

Now I'm not saying I still don't have to do my part and continue to strengthen my shoulder and take care of it, but I am saying, I know He's the one who Heals and I know He is working on me.

So praise God for answered prayer!
