So weird, right now. The strange physical things that were going on cleared up over course of a roughly 24-hour spot of fellowship. The Lord does that, though. There've been many times when toothaches, migraines, earaches, and such were driven away under weight of praise and regard for Him.
Still working on spinal alignment, but nothing major at this point. So grateful.
And still grateful for the dependence forged, in the midst. It's fairly impossible to maintain an incapacitating level of self-conscious anxiety when pain is in any way sufficient to force dependence upon the Lord just to be able to function. One or the other.
He's teaching me. He does restore strength. He does renew.

I'm still entirely scared and overwhelmed, but I trust Jesus. He will lead me, He will sanctify me, He will direct me. He will bless me.
Just knowing Him is a blessing. And especially, to become more acquainted.
By whatever means, being freed to walk in truth.

Yesterday and last night and all...has been such a blessing.
I will trust the Lord.
I will trust the Lord.
And as an aside, the lattermost portion of this passage has been going round in mind for the past many months. Many months. And it seems like there's a Psalm somewhere that mentions Him singing, too, but I'm not finding it right now.

In his love he will renew you with his love; he will celebrate with singing because of you. |
The Lord...singing. I mean, it's not something you hear spoken of in church very often (...ever?). But yeah. And a quick Google yielded this:
I mean... That's just... I can't even fathom.
There are so many things, of singing. It's a fearful thing to sing, openly. Terrifying. How to sing without heart, after all? Then, so vulnerable. So open.
Someday without fear.
He's helping me.
Someday without fear.
He's helping me.
