Pain, pain, go away.

Today has been one of "those" days. I was super sore when I woke up this morning, and getting out of bed and ready for school was a pain in the ... foot. My right arm is still very sensitive and sore, and on Monday, I developed somewhat of a lovely limp. I was walking to my music class, and my leg felt like it was falling asleep. You know that tingly feeling you get? It was like that with every step I took with my right leg. Along with the tingly feeling, I have pain shooting up and down my leg every time I put pressure on it. I have taken medicine and nothing helps get rid of the pain. On Wednesday night (while watching the original Superman movie with my mother) my mom was rubbing my back, and when she hit certain spots on my back, there would be specific places in my arm and leg that would almost erupt with pain. Conclusion? We think I have pinched nerves in my back. Not fun. I have to go to a nerve doctor, but I have to see a regular doctor before THAT so I can get referred to the nerve doctor. *sigh.
On the "up" side, my insurance gave me an agreeable sum of money for my car, so I can put this towards getting a new ("new" to me) car. Thank you, Lord! We also found out that the lady who hit me has no drivers license, and no insurance. So my insurance agency will be paying for everything, but getting them to pay for it is the hard part.

I have no clue if anyone reads this, or if anyone cares that I am writing a blog, but if someone is reading this, you know how "those" days are. Certain things are out of my control, I know and understand that. However, it is when I see the tests of my faith affecting those close to me, and my relationship with them. It says in the Bible that God gives, and God takes away. That is too true. Trusting that what God is taking away is for your own good is one of the hardest things in the world. It never ceases to amaze me when God answers our prayers. haha it sounds so simple, but my mind is always blown. I was having a rough day today, and I told my mom, "I just need to talk to Chelsea Fleet." (and during the wreck, my phone was kinda lost. I got a new phone with no numbers - so I didn't have her number) Chelsea is such a wise, godly woman, and I value her opinion so much. She is so near and dear to my heart. :) It was not even an hour after I had vocalized that I needed to talk to her, that I get a message on facebook from her with her phone number, saying "Call me, girl!" I called her, almost crying, and praising God. We both marveled at our Lord's timing. I shared my struggles with her, she listened, and understood. She helps me step back and see things through Christ's eyes - and that is exactly what I needed today. God, you are so faithful! :) Thank you for blessing me with friends who not only listen, but give godly wisdom and guidance. :)
