Why Me
I know we all have our ups and downs even with everyday life smacking us square in the face. I normally don't ask "Why Me"? but Why Me? I've tried all my life to keep myself healthy aside from the ocassional binge eating, and i've tried always help others in need. I don't understand why I am being hit with this afliction that is slowing my activities down and almost tying my hands on being able to do my job or the things I so love to do like training my dog. I know its not right to ask "Why Me God"? but Why Me? What did I do for you to single me out, What is the lesson I am suppose to learn through all of this? I read Psalms 139 again today trying to gain strength to get through this as I know the Lord is with me. I still don't understand and maybe I'm not suppose to but I still ask "Why Me Lord"? Help me have the strangth to make it through this and to understand what it is you want from me.

When I was admitted to the hospital with my PEs after having just gotten home from the hospital after my knee replacement 2 days earlier I was dispondent .I was sobbing and so upset...felt like I had a death sentence and just wanted to go home .The nurse that was moving me from the ER bed into the reg room bed said these words to me .
Sweetie...I know that you are upset and asking yourself why me .She went on to say that I may never know the answer but that she knew that my being there was going to affect some other persons life in a good way .She said that I may never know who or why but that everything happens for a reason and we just have to trust God .
I cant tell you how many times I have told someone else the same thing...and here it was comming full circle back to me and I did not want to hear it .I just wanted out .It was little comfort when I thought I was faceing the uncertainty of how it would all turn out in the end .
I have learned to slow down..take care of me..and that yes all the people that I thought would crumble without my help would buck up and make it on thier own .Thers a lot of lesson yet to be learned I suppose .Hope you are feeling better .
Monterey,
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I know things happen for a reason and I truly believe things happen because i am suppose to learn something from it or to affect someone Else\'s life. Just knowing you on line has affected my life and I Thank you for being there for me. I guess sometimes I need a swift kick in the Du pah to get me back on track.
Thanks again and Hugs
