Pressure

 I sat down to write my post, but I am having trouble because I am in pain today from a migraine.  The weather has been bad in Texas with lots of different pressure systems coming and going.  It is great for rain, but it hurts my head.  On days like today, I don’t necessarily feel the pain coming on until it is too late.   It comes slowly like pressure building.  It is sort of like a tea kettle.   The boiling water builds up steam and it is just in kettle, but then it gets to the point where it makes the kettle whistle.  I feel like that sometimes.  The pressure in my head builds up slowly and I don’t really notice, but then it gets really bad, and I notice it a lot and it feels like that whistle has gone off.  When it is a tea kettle, you just take the kettle off the stove.  There’s no way to take me off the “stove.” 

My only salvation is prayer.   I only know that when pain feels like it is more than what I can handle, I turn to God and ask for help. I hate knowing that I feel pain that bad, but I also know that God will never let me feel more pain that He and I can handle together. 

My faith saved me.  May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
