Day 7

Good Evening and Happy Resurrection Day,

I am going to talk about two things today, my faith and my digestion. They actually have a lot in common. You see my faith gets me through a lot of things. I put my hope in my Heavenly Father, because if this is all that life is about...it stinks! I want my focus to be on eternity, but it is so hard.

I am so thankful for pancreatic enzymes. In my family, we talk a lot about digestive issues. I mean, come on, my husband has ulcerative colitis and I have CF. Lately, we have been talking a lot about enzymes because of Cordell and the adjustments they have had to make to his. I currently take Creon 20 with every meal and snack, and at times I get so annoyed that I have to take them, but today I am so thankful they exist. My stomach is currently feeling...well, crappy:)  HAHA! I obviously missed a dose in all my delicious food and candy intake and the next two days I will have to feel everything my digestive system attempts to do without pancreatic enzymes. It is uncomfortable, annoying, and at times kind of painful. I know what you're thinking, " 29 years and you can't remember your enzymes?" It is, what it is and considering I take about 14 of them a day and I may miss a dose every couple weeks..I say I do pretty good.

However, my Christian life is kind of like this too. God's Word is kind of like my enzymes. Life is full of many options and "flavors" and if I indulge in the things that are offered without turning to God's Word for guidance, I end up reaping the benefits and feeling miserable just as if I missed my digestive enzymes. Also, I find when you put crap in it always comes out!

So my lesson here is to always remember my enzymes before meals and always remember to stay in God's Word before problems arrive. This will keep me happy and healthy!

May all of you have a Happy Easter and remember God's great love for us!

Good Night Ya'll
