The Lord Will Give You Rest

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28

I’m so tired today. I spent the better half of last night in the emergency room with chest pain so bad that I called a friend to take me there because I didn’t think I’d be able to drive myself.

They did blood work, a chest x-ray and checked for blood clots and it all came back normal. So why am I still having chest pain? Well, the doctor decided to press on my chest to see where the pain was located (I mean, really was that necessary? I told him where it hurt.) I knew he was just doing his job but MAN ALIVE did it hurt! It took so much self control to not punch him or push him away. LOL

So the end result? It’s chest wall pain, also know as costochondritis.  I’ve had it before so I guess I should have recognized the symptoms but they were bad this time. And plus, when there is any kind of chest pain, a person should take it seriously and get to the doctor.

I’m exhausted, I don’t feel well and my soul is just so weary right now. I am so tired of having so many health problems.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

2 Corinthians 12:9
