Dragons are very demanding. Yesterday I introduced you to my dragon, MG. In the past few weeks MG has been throwing a temper tantrum. It seems that I was busy trying to live my life and doing some things that I like to do and MG was feeling ignored. So, MG is breathing fire in my life right now just so I won't forget to notice him and pay him the attention that he commands.
MG is a rare dragon. His characteristics are very unique and require my undivided attention especially when he is having a temper tantrum. Sometimes he sleeps, sometimes he slumbers and sometimes he breathes fire but he is always flying around lurking in the shadows preparing for his next hissy fit. (Those of you from the south know exactly what this means,)
About 2 months ago I began to notice that some of my symptoms were breathing a little fire my way. Foolishly, I tried to ignore MG's bad behavior. I ignored MG's scales that cover my eyes and give me jerky vision. I kept on going. MG breathed a little hotter. I ignored the heaviness that I felt when MG sat on my chest. I kept on going. MG breathed hotter. I ignored the flapping of his heavy wings as my arms, legs and head became heavier and heavier until I could not hold them up any longer. MG spit up the fire. The temper tantrum became louder and stronger until I could not ignore him any longer. OK the truth is my doctor told me to stop ignoring it that I was experiencing an "acute exacerbation" which basically means that MG is having a hissy fit.
I have basically been at home for the past 4 weeks with only very short trips to the grocery store and to get a Wal-Mart fix. I am learning many things about God and about relationships. God is my dragon slayer and 2 Chronicles 20:15 reminds me that it is not my job to slay the dragon. The battle belongs to the Lord. I pray that you know Him and that He is slaying your dragons every day.

When the dragon flares up, do you take medications? Or what do you do?
ReplyDeleteI do know Him. Poorly. But I do know Him.
Sorry to hear about that! But thankfully, God is a mighty warrior and can slay the dragon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you start feeling like yourself again soon and that you dragon gives you a much needed break!.
ReplyDeleteYes, this battle IS the Lord's! I love Isaiah 55:8-9 where it says God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and his ways are better than ours. I think of life, MG included, as a huge jigsaw puzzle. We only see the pieces directly connected to us, but God sees the whole picture.
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful I have God. I would not be alive if I did not. He is my hope.
