While walking this morning, I asked God what He wanted me to do now that I have found out what is causing the pain in my head (which I understand, at this point, will not get better).
I came in from my walk to listen to Cheryl Brodersen on WJCX and during her recorded talk, she emphasized writing down daily something experienced. It sounded so needful to my situation, I heard it as God's answer to part of my new life beginning today.
I used to journal regularly. So today, I began writing of what is happening with this new illness and what God is doing in my life through it.
The last time God had me write something down through a tough time in my life, it became an EBook. (See sidebar Link for Squished! Why God Seemingly Destroys Our Fruit) I'm not going to write this journal with that in mind. This is between God and me for now, but rereading my book, I can rejoice in reviewing what God does is so awesome. He does un-explainable things in situations we haven't the means to understand but our trust in Him is for His praise and glory. Trust fully on Him for all things.
I have osteoarthritis in my right side jaw. I do not endorse self-diagnoses but this article explains the trouble somewhat, nor do I especially endorse this website or its accuracy.

"Concerning this thing, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
And He said, "My grace is sufficient for you; for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:8 & 9
At this time, I will not claim I believe this verse is my personal future, yet I believe it is true. Am I looking forward to how God will be glorified through me in this trial? Yes & No. This illness physically hurts and I'm a wimp in pain but I fully believe God will see me through it all.
So, what happens daily, I will try to keep writing about it if only to look at it and talk it over with God when in prayer and worship. And when I'm most needful.
