"May not be fun, but it's gotta be done"

I wish you could hear me singing right now. The title of this blog is based on a song (there were so many) that mom taught us to sing growing up. We sang this song while doing chores or working in the garden. "May not be fun, but its gotta be done, may not be fun, but its gotta be done. Pick those beans, shuck that corn, mop that floor, and it's still not done. Its called Work..its called work." Ok, I'm inserting my own lyrics now, but you get the picture. We would sing in order to distract ourselves, while we worked. Creative distraction for a mother of 3 energetic girls!

In my women's bible study group, we are focusing on the book of Daniel. One of the versus Beth Moore touched on, really spoke to me. John 11:4 - When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." Of course I clung to the verse that talked about me (yes, it was written just for me, find your own). As I listened to several of the other versus we covered last night, many had a similar tone, but this one became my distracting song and inspiration.

As much as I like to focus on Myasthenia Gravis and the stupidity of this disease, I sometimes get lost in the details and forget what this is all about. My body is a test lab...I've accepted this and brag about it. My heart is grateful that I can still feel pain, so many others can not. My mind is focused. I continue to want to know more about MG and the stupidity of it all, but through Daniel, I'm reminded that while we struggle, we are also meant to shine. Refine, and shine! "May not be fun, but it's gotta be done...may not be fun, but its gotta be done"
