Yesterday was a really bad brain day.  Everything was such a struggle.  I just couldn't manage much.  I couldn't even consider posting.  Everyone was just bugging me...not that they were pestering, just that having to concentrate on what they were saying was such a frustration for me, it just made me agitated to try to comprehend what they were saying.  Bible reading in the morning and family worship last night, could barely penetrate the haze in my brain.  It was tough.

Today I have a really bad headache, and other pain...but it is the headache that just makes me want to sleep.  I got up early this morning because I knew it wouldn't be long before my headache turned into a migraine.  So I quickly got at my Bible reading.... I have to say...about the Bible reading, Jehovah sure is detailed about his judgement.  It makes me think... I have heard parents say (even my own), ..."go to your room", child says "but why", parent replies, "because I said so!"  No answer, just a lauding their authority over the child.  Yet, Jehovah clearly explains what His instruction is, how the people ignored His instruction and what they did.  Then He says exactly what is going to happen for their wrong doing.  And why He has the authority to do so.  It makes me think that a child will say "but I didn't know THAT was wrong"... well Jehovah has such wonderful direction and instruction for us, and it is always clear, no one can say "I didn't know".  

I don't know if I ever posted my new routine for doing my day's text... I used to do it in the morning, but now I do my Bible reading in the morning.  I have been doing my Day's text at night.  I actually like it, because I then reflect on what happened that day and how the day text was fitting.  For example, Wednesday I had such a hard time because the day before my physical pain was out of control and that Wednesday wasn't much better.  The pain was becoming over whelming and I just needed some comfort and strength to endure, and I said a prayer and I felt fortified so I could cope.  then that night I read the day's text about drawing close to Jehovah when we need help to endure.  I was able to reflect on how He had strengthen me throughout the day.  So I have been reviewing it in the evening and I am able to remember it better.  For some reason, I could hardly remember it by later in the day when I would go through it in the morning.  But my doing my Bible reading in the morning, I tend to remember it better than I do at night.  Go figure.  At least I figured this out so that is stays with me better.

I have such an ax in my forehead.
