            Slept late but was awake a lot during the night.  It is hard to explain how I can feel rested yet bone weary at the same time.  Day after day of pain mounts and makes weariness a constant companion you wish would just go away like an unwelcome guest.  

            But as Bonnie and I read our devotion on Ivory Palaces My Love allowed me to smell the myrrh and cassia from His garments and to feel the warmth of His Light.  Every day as the pain increases so does the awareness of His presence. Many will think me crazy for saying this, but I would not trade the wondrous experience of His presence for a cessation of the pain!

            Bonnie checked our account and it seems we have received our first disability money.  Praise God for His faithfulness and for the time of waiting on Him to strengthen our faith!!!
