I am once again in a season of cluster headaches. Cluster meaning that it only happens every year or so. I will go to sleep at night. About an hour later, I wake up with pressure in my face and tension from below my eyes all the way done the right side of my shoulders.It wakes me up enough that when I do wake up that the pain and pressure start to spike. It can last anywhere from 10 minutes to 45 minutes to finally start to taper off. I have been trying to combat it with electric shock therapy. It has worked some of the time but not all. The headaches go away after two to eight weeks. It causes me to lose sleep at night. I have to see up and wait for the pain to dissipate before I can go back to sleep. Not fun. It usually coincides with happening after a stressful or busy few weeks. With moving houses, to having visitors come, to work projects, we have been busy. Please pray for me that I would have them less and less.
As a pastor, I receive the privilege of officiating weddings. I say weddings, but I have only done one a few years ago. I remember being so nervous that the book that I was holding my notes in was shaking. It is something that I never thought I would be doing. This year I will be officiating two separate weddings. One is in a few weeks, one in May and possibly another in the fall. I am meeting with the couple at various time of the week to do marriage counseling and wedding preparations. It is a great honor to be apart of their journey. What an example of Jesus loving the church.
