Hi everyone, I got a bit side tracked these last two days.
On Tuesday this week I had my testing done for carpal tunnel . I didn't mind the 1st part of the test where they put electrodes on you. It was the second part where they poke you with a needle and then ask you to move your hand in certain directions that was not fun.The thumb side was supposed to be the most painful, it wasn't that bad at all.I did deep breathing, I was prepped for the ouch factor. Then he did the pinkie finger side, I almost jumped off the table.That sucker stung! The rest of that test was uneventful, a bit annoying but not bad at all.
Then I got up.... I went to pay and was feeling a little warm but not too bad. Met up with mom, got to the car and proceeded to get very light headed. I sat in the car with the windows open. I needed sugar and I knew it. There were a few cashews , but nothing that would metabolize fast as sugar except for .... Moms iced coffee.
Yes. I did give up coffee for Lent but, I think, in this case, grace is wonderful. Yes. I did drink the coffee , it leveled out my sugar and made it possible for me to drive. My intention was to go the entire season of Lent without coffee, however, I know my plans verses Gods plan... God wins.It made me think about intent verses what actually ends up happens.
And you know what? The drink didn't taste that good. Yes, the sugar helped but.... I am starting to wonder if I drink coffee out of habit. Do I really need to be drinking coffee on a regular basis? I have some time to find out because except for the couple sips from moms cup I haven't slipped up.
Grace and Peace to All
