Last night, I had a really bad migraine headache. I couldn’t hardly sit up. All I wanted to do was lie down. Yet, I wanted to do my post. With my OCD, I felt like I really had to do one. However, I decided to give myself a break. The truth is I have been dealing with headaches and stressors for a little over a week now and I keep pushing myself because I feel responsibilities and compulsions. I know that I am very hard on myself and I push myself. I also know that God wouldn’t treat me that way. If I was hurting or sick, He would take me in His loving arms and He would hold me. He would let me rest.
Last night a let myself rest and I gave myself a break from writing a post. I knew I could make it up today. There’s something important in that: giving yourself a break. God doesn’t expect perfection. He just wants us to try our best. I think that is something that we forget. The end result isn’t as important as the journey. In journey, it’s okay to make mistakes and have adventures. That’s what life is all about. So, if life happens, I should embrace it and let it happen. That’s one of the first lessons I learned when I started this blog and I am still working at it. Thank God for having patience with me.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
