It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

It's Wednesday Again!

Last night I was lamenting that I had forgotten it was Wednesday and thus had missed Bible Study, but this morning I discovered that today is Wednesday, so we were blessed to attend our mid-week "small group" Bible Study.

It was an interesting day for me. Aside from being my own second Wednesday of the week, it was a day that sped by leaving me wondering where it went. Richard worked the early shift and when he got home around noon we went to town to run some errands.

One stop was at Target where I saw someone I recognized. I went up to her and greeted her, "Hi, Tina!" She turned toward me, a puzzled look on her face, then realizing it was me, said, "Hello, Iona, how've you been?" We chatted a few minutes (I can't recall what about) and I told her I still had her game and would send it right out to her. I also told her I had to break down and make an appointment with a lawyer and noted how disappointed I was that the insurance company had refused further therapy. She didn't seem to know how to respond. I decided she might be in a hurry to do something or go somewhere so bid her a cheery farewell and headed to the checkouts.

"That was Tina my therapist,"I said to Richard. I was curious why he had walked off without speaking to her. "I don't think that was Tina," he said. Then as we walked to the parking lot it dawned on me that indeed, this was NOT Tina, but a co-worker from Wal-Mart! No wonder she looked puzzled when I called her by the wrong name and spoke of things she knew nothing about.

That's sort of how the whole day went for me. I completely lost track of things and did not get anything done... but it was nice to have another Wednesday and make it to Bible Study tonight. Tomorrow will be my first Thursday and my daughter will be here then, plus I will again meet with the wonderful Women of Grace Thursday morning Bible study.
