My mom was feeling pretty bad yesterday. She made it to church, but that was about it. She takes a pill once a month that is supposed to help with her bone density, but it always makes her feel bad. This was an extreme case. She was having trouble with a back ache a few days ago, and perhaps this pill exacerbated it. By night time, she was in so much pain she was shaking and she was nauseous. I wondered if there was something else going on and if she needed to be seen by a doctor. Of course, that meant taking her to an Emergicare or Emergency Room. I knew what that held and wondered if doing so would make things worse. I prayed for wisdom to know what to do as my dad and I took her vitals and did some other tests. It seemed to me that the biggest problem was the pain. My dad and I got her into bed after some pain meds and a pain patch on her back. Things started to calm down. My dad bought her a wonderful bed a few months ago, and she adjusted the head and feet to just the right angle to take the pressure off her back. As I went to bed, I realized I had done exactly what I was told earlier in the day at church. I prayed for wisdom, did all I knew to do, and trusted God as I put my mom in His hands. While she wasn’t quite back to normal today, she did feel much better. We were all very grateful.

I Found God today being able to practice what I was preached.
