car lights and headaches

The other night someone turned the light on in my car. I guess I turned it off a while ago and forgot all about it. I actually thought it was broken because it had been so long since I'd used it. The whole time I could have switched it on, but I failed to remember that it was available to me. At times I even used my cell phone to provide light to find things in my dark vehicle at night. This, oddly enough, made me think of a spiritual application. How many times am I in need of God's working in my life or God's comfort during difficult times. His Word is always readily available to me and yet I turn in so many different directions other than straight to His Word. The truth that He imparts is far greater than any earthly wisdom.

Two Sundays ago I had a migraine. These headaches continued from that Sunday through this past Sunday. Saturday was the only day I did not have a headache. Yesterday I went to a chiropractor here in Nairobi. She was excellent! All of my bones are now in position where they're supposed to be. When she began adjusting me she couldn't finish until she loosened my neck and shoulder muscles with a heating pad for 15 minutes. She said she could tell I haven't had an adjustment in a while and that I'm stressed. It's a good thing Easter break is coming up. I can't wait to go out of town and relax.
