My life has been topsy turvy

If there is one lesson I have learned after having a chronic illness for more than 10 years it is that nothing ever goes as planned. Urgent doctor’s appointments get cancelled, prescriptions do not get sent to the pharmacy, prescriptions get sent to the wrong pharmacy, insurance claims are denied, etc. I used to be upset by these challenges, but now I have learned to expect things to go wrong. Recently, though, I have had some unexpected surprises.

I had a prescription at the pharmacy which I have tried to get filled. Even though the drug has never been dispensed, the pharmacy says the prescription has zero refills on it. I decided to transfer the prescription to a different pharmacy and see if I could get it filled that way. When trying to transfer the prescription, things got messed up. The original pharmacy filled the prescription instead of transferring it. Behold, I finally was able to get the medicine.

Another unexpected miracle was a highly successful YouTube video. I had worked very hard on a video. After I made it, I decided I could not publish it on my Life with a Vent YouTube channel because it was too “religious”. I am very mindful of the content on that channel as I have a large international audience. The focus of the channel is life with a vent and not life with God. 

Instead, I decided to upload the video to my God is My Strength channel. That channel is much smaller. I figured the video would get few views. To my shock, the video has nearly 1,000 views!!! I am over the moon happy and excited. I cannot believe the success that video has had!

It is such a blessing when things go right. I am thrilled God has been so gracious to me and has allowed me to experience so many blessings. Whatever happens, I am reminded to cling, cleave and hold fast to God. A blessing can happen at any moment.
