I am sitting here at my laptop feeling drained and clammy....though very thankful, because just a few hours ago I was so very sick. My head was swollen and pounding...my body had just finished throwing up for the...I don't know how many times.

It all started early this morning with a migraine; most likely the result of not getting enough rest or water. Still I continued through my routine, because normally they go away after I'm up for a bit.

How difficult it was driving....as I went about my morning routine...this headache was growing into a migraine! I felt like throwing up. So when I got home, I snuggled deep within my covers, after taking the first two pills of this new migraine medicine the doctor prescribed to me. An hour later, when my migraine had worsened, I took another pill...as prescribed. Still my head throbbed away.

I surrounded my skull with ice packs and laid there waiting...sleeping and waiting. Still another hour passed by and my head still throbbed. Atop my head was a huge bump that was trying to grow. I took another red pill...again, following the prescription and laid down again.

By now I was very groggy. Though I was tired....it was difficult to sleep with my head hurting...so an hour later, I take the final pill...wondering when this pain would go away.

Suddenly, I had to throw up. Oh, I was so very sick. I thought that was the end of it...but I continued to throw up the rest of the day and evening....then, I fell into a deep sleep.

I awoke to my phone ringing....which normally when I am trying to sleep, would bug me. Yet as I answered the phone, I noticed my migraine was all but gone and I didn't feel one bit like throwing up. Praise God!

Thinking back to many years ago....I remember being "sick" as a result of the choices I had made. My life had turned to one huge "migraine". Everything seemed to "hurt" and it was difficult to see the blessings I had because of the pain my whole life was in.

Many times I would "throw up" my story to anyone who would hear....because I wanted answers on how to be healthy.

It wasn't until I started reading God's Word and applying what I was reading, that I began to find relief. Yet Christ's healing came at a price. I would have to let go of the poor choices I was making and listen and do as the Holy Spirit guided.

Today, I still have trials....but my "Immune System" is now strong enough to ward off whatever comes my way...praise be to God. But I must remember to take care of myself through reading my Bible, praying, singing praise, keeping accountable by attending church.

I am so thankful that Christ never leaves me alone. The Bible says so in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5. I praise God that He is my Healer!
