Forgetfulness

Pain...it is always there...this morning as I lay in bed, hurting and tired of the tossing and turning, i realized there are a few things that i forget...and a few i would like to forget.
I forget what it feels like...
to not wake up in pain.
to not have any pain at all.
to have a full night of sleep without restlessness due to pain.
to NOT start my day with tylenol.
to NOT have pain dictate my movements.
to do my hair based on what I want to do instead of if it hurts too much to move.
to exercise without concern for how I am 'feeling'.
to completely be myself and not "faking it" with people.

When I am thinking those things above, I am also reminded of things that I should be reminded of...
God does not leave us nor forsake us. Hebrews 13:5
God knows HIS plan for this pain and my life (Jeremiah 29:11)
My pain is to make me better, not bitter. (James 1:2-4)
He will work this for good (in His timing ) Romans 8:28
Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you... (Isaiah 41:10)

I wish it was easier to remember the things I should, and forget those that I need to forget.  It's a daily battle, but I do know that God is good and He will see me through this.  I simply MUST have that faith.
