I cried

I cried because it really stinks to have Crohn's Disease.

Because it took me 30 extra minutes to cook my pancakes at dinner.

Because I had to eat dinner later than my family yesterday.

Because I am hungry.

Because I'm overwhelmed.

Because of the text I received this morning saying that I have to bring a homemade treat to a National Honor Society meeting tonight, regardless of my excuse. ( Um heck no, I don't bake like that any more)

Because sometimes I feel so ungrateful.

Because sometimes I feel so overwhelmingly grateful for all my blessings.

Because I have to go to Primary Children's Hospital tomorrow.

Because my blood will be drawn tomorrow.

Because I feel cursed.

Because I feel blessed.

Needless to say, this is tough.

But I thought to myself last night how lucky I am to be in this situation.  Because for just a glimpse of eternity I am sick, but the life long lessons and blessing that I learn from this experience will stay with me throughout eternity.

What is your blessing in the curse?
