(Note: I wrote this last night.)

I know there are people facing WAY worse stuff than me tonight, but I’m a bit scared.

(spoiler: tmi) I had a horrible migraine on Sunday, like I hadn’t had in years. Seriously, it had been maybe 10 years since I even had to buy Excedrin Migraine! Today, my stomach is a mess, I’m laying in bed with a heating pad, and i’m fighting a cold sore with Lysine & mometasone.

I’m also fighting the urge to be upset and feel sorry for myself. I really want to give in to that urge and be upset that, if I wake up unwell, I can’t go to work & I can’t go to the TV show taping that was scheduled in advance.

I’m scared that these symptoms were sort of bad last month, and it seems they’re worse this month. 🙁 

Honestly, that terrifies me.

At the same time, I realize I’m battling FEAR, and I remember that it’s something the Bible talks about a lot.

Do not fear. Do not be afraid. 

“The righteous person faces many troubles, but the lord comes to the rescue each time.” (Psalms 34:19 NLT)

If I believe God’s word is true (I do), and I know God is coming to my rescue, even as I’m facing the scary possibility that intense pain may return, and even as I pray that it doesn’t, I can reassure myself that He really is coming to my rescue.
