The Thorn in My Side...Trying to Breathe

So when pondering my next blog, I came back to my issue I've been struggling with the last three weeks, a seemingly simple task called breathing. I have asthma and it has proceded to freak out on me the last three weeks keeping me from things i love like outside, riding my bike, exercising of any kind, etc. I have to be honest that I haven't been thankful for this weakness at all recently but almost anxious to get back to my normal routine in life. However over the last 24 hours, the Lord in his grace brought me back to the passage in 2 Cor. 12 where Paul discusses the thorn in his side he asked the Lord to take from him three times. God's reply however was My strength is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in your weakness. In his affliction he found joy in Christ, as is my aim. More on this later...
