Today I woke up not in a good mood this morning. Mainly because I have been sick with allergies and sinus infection for the the past week. It seems I have been plagued with allergies since I have lived here in South Texas.  It you live in South Texas it seems you are bound to have allergies. Every month since October I have had a sinus infection. And I have been on four or five rounds of antibiotics. So this morning I just felt like complaining to God about my allergies. I am tired of being sick. And I am about to start on allergy shots this week and hopefully that will bring me some relief. So after I wrote in my journal and complained a little I picked up a book that I have not really read much before. It is called The Everyday Guide to the Bible and the book just fell open to page that had this scripture on it.
It was Psalm 73:25-26
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
      I desire you more than anything on earth.
 26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
      but God remains the strength of my heart;
      he is mine forever.
Have you ever just opened your bible and the page just seem open to the words you need to hear at that moment? That is how I felt this morning. God knows how we feel and what we need to hear. That amazes me. He knew I was complaining this morning.I feel like I have been doing a lot of complaining lately. But I guess God does not seem to mind it. He just wants me to know that HE is there and won't leave me. Then after I read this I went to my computer and went to my blog. And I scrolled down to the scripture for the day that I have posted on my blog and it was the same scripture. The moment I read it I knew God was speaking to me. I think God is telling me no matter how I feel and no matter what sickness I have God remains the strength of my heart and he is mine forever.

I love when God speaks to me so DIRECTLY like that! Sort of an "okay Lord, I get it!" moment! But yeah, allergies make me complain too. Mine are bad in September when the desert sage does its thing. Hopefully if we move a bit further north it won't be AS bad... still sage there but not near as much as there is here.
