I feel awful today. My recurring stomach problems have returned over the last couple of days. I pray that God will sustain me physically through this. It leaves me feeling like I have the flu, except that I don't have a fever.
At least I don't have to ride home tonight. I can get a ride, and I didn't feel like like I could face the bike ride home.
This whole thing has got me thinking the trails that God brings into our lives. Scripture says that God brings trials to produce endurance; that is, to strengthen us to persevere. What I'm dealing with right now can't compare to things others have struggled with, like severe illness or the death of a loved one. It's still a physical trial, regardless. I need to trust God that He will guide me through this, just as He brought me to this.
There are some things I can do about it, though. I have started adjusting my diet, trying to figure out what's causing my problem. The last time I had this, a couple of months ago, I lost a fair amount of weight. I've put some of it back on, so at least it's made me realize that I need to change my diet.

Update-8:33 pm: Although I'm severely tempted to do so, I don't think I'll be taking tomorrow off. I'm praying that I'll get better soon, not just I can be more productive at work, but because I want to be ready to help my friends Brent and Hayley move on Saturday. I pray that I would get better soon, and that in the meantime, I would trust in The Lord and His sustaining care.
