I have been struggling lately with extreme lower back pain. When I say extreme, I mean that it was bad enough for me to pass out last week. It is really affecting me.
This could be a real problem with work. And to complicate things, I have two jobs: pastor at a church and chaplain with the army reserves.
Thankfully, both of my jobs are very understanding and flexible. I have felt supported by both and they have been flexible with how my work week has looked.
I have been able to do work at home and to give my back a rest. On Sunday, I even preached sitting down because standing for that long was difficult.
I don’t take this lightly. I am working toward getting back to where things were but leading up to that, I am thankful that there is some flexibility. I am also aware that not everyone has that.
As I move forward, I would appreciate your prayers for my recovery.
