29 Weeks 0 Days

It's 1:45pm and I'm in the midst of my 3rd pain episode in the last 12 hours. I can't take any more Tylenol until 5pm because I already took an extra one earlier when I shouldn't have. Heat is doing minimally and ice didn't help at all earlier when I used it. I haven't done anything different than the last few days so there is nothing I can think of that is causing these more often episodes. Early this morning  I was dealing with a lot of pain, Joseph was rubbing my foot, and I was trying to be distracted and I found myself thinking of Job.

Job was such a faithful man of God; never once did he blame or curse Him, but God allowed the pain and suffering (both physical and emotional) to continue at the devil's will.
I know God is allowing this pain for me and I don't know why.
My job is to glorify Him in all I do, no matter the circumstances surrounding me. 

With that thought I started praying.

"God please take this pain from me.
I know you have the ability to do so in Your own time.

Whether You're causing it or You're allowing it at the devil's desire,
Please help me through this.
Please take this pain from me!"

 I was in the middle of major pain, writhing, panting, and trying to deal with it.

And immediately, like a light switch being turned off,
The Pain Was Gone.
As soon as my prayer ended, my pain was immediately taken from me.
And it wasn't the Tylenol slowly kicking in, or the muscle relaxant finally starting to work, 

This Pain Was Taken Immediately As If It Was Never There At All
