Pain

[humble soul]

I don't like pain much. I try to avoid it. Right now I am relaxed and in no pain whatsoever. I took an opioid. About an hour ago. Before that I had a stiff neck, back pain and ankle issues. All conspiring to put me in a grumpy state. I'm not grumpy right now. I love you all. The world is beautiful and so are you. It's much easier to love when I'm pain free.
But this is cheating isn't it. You gotta love when you are in pain too. I haven't mastered that. That's a goal of mine. Am I tough enough? That's the question. Tough love.

I understand your position exactly. Yet, it is cheating. They had me on opioids for my back injury and on one level, I liked them. They made me feel good and I could put in a full days work then and even walk with a normal posture too. But on another level, I knew that I didn't want to be on those things. The side effects are vicious. Nothing that another pill won't cure, lol. What time is it? Life became...about the next pill.

I prayed about it and God responded. I got a long distance call from a stranger, a Brother in Christ who said God gave him my number and was to tell me that it is His will that I get off of those pills.

Whoa. What does a guy say to that?! I quit them and went on a fast to make it solid and detoxify. That was not well received at my Doctor's office, lol!

Word on the street is that oxycodone is a biological warfare upon the U.S. from the Chinese. So now I am buying stock in Ibuprofen company, one bottle at a time, but you know what? Life is better now. One thing that you can do with your pain and suffering, is to gift it to the Lord with praise and thankfulness. (I don't really understand that, but it's what He put on my heart about it.) ...so I do that too!

We will always go through pain, i hate to sound negative but it is true. When its the season to feel pain, i feel it and when its the season to not feel pain i don't feel it. I take life as it comes and each day at a time. I try to live each day like its my last because one day it will be.
