Expect a few snags

Well, the throat is a little better this morning. A little. Maybe its the iced water, iced coffee, iced tea and ice cream. The Clroraseptic and the Sucrets don't help that much but I'm doing them anyway. Sure can't hurt after all the other drugs I've ingested....and these are OTC LEGAL!
Made some egg salad and some cucumber/raisin/olive/lettuce salad with French dressing salad this morning. Gonna stay away from the hot stuff for a while.
Spoke to John Scott for a half an hour today on the phone. Whatta nice guy. We just met yesterday at the Mens Bible Study at Dunkin' Donuts. I'll be talking to him once in a while and going for coffee. Its a lot better class of people I've been associating with lately than I have in the past.
My left side has been feeling better the last few days. Its been 3 years since my accident and I kind of got used to the pins and needles on my entire left side but it feels like I'm getting a little feeling back in my left hand. I'm checking it out right now and it is weird. All of a sudden, its like I'm slowly getting the feeling back in my hand. I've considered its all in my mind and thats where the whole problem started.....with a brain injury. Is it because I'm using the brain God gave me instead of abusing it like I have before. I know I'm more receptive now to what God wants me to know and feel. Maybe its because I'm not shutting out the Great Physician. I asked God for a long time to show me something and maybe I didn't see Him or know Him because I stood in the doorway and wouldn't let Him in.
I will keep on doing what I'm doing because I am seeing God working in my life and others too.
I wondered why He didn't tell me the chili was so hot but figured He was telling me that I still had to use common sense. He would be a lump in my throat for a couple of days as a reminder.
Its been a very good couple of weeks and I can't ask why He didn't come to my rescue sooner. Its all in Gods time. Several people in my life, very important ones, have told me I needed to and I could invite Him in but I didn't heed their advice. I was a stubborn know-it-all most of my life, even as a little kid.
I never put my thoughts in writing before and I have had a lot of them. Some not so good. But they're flowing more freely now and they're all positive. God must have some kind of plan for me but I'll just wait until he makes it obvious to me. I'll just keep on doing the right thing for now and wait anxiosly.
