Finally getting some relief! Surgery in the morning!

 Hello folks.

Tomorrow is gonna be a brighter day...I will have my hysterectomy

and will be on my way to recovery...

It has been a very long road for me.

My mind, and body have been through a tremendous amount of

stress. Sometimes too much for one to take.

I have been having hot flashes and cold sweats

along with some mood swings..Probably going through peri-menopause

Anyway, I know it's been rough for my kids and family and

I'm thankful to have them hanging in there with me,

especially since I am down and just not quite myself

right now.

Keep me in your prayers for tomorrow morning.

Surgery starts at 7:30 am.

God will see me through this surgery.

I will make it! It will improve my

I.C. 70%.

My ovaries probably aren't producing enough hormones

right now, so that will immediately be taken care of too.

Sometimes we have to go through the storms

first for a while, then when we come out, we are better.

 I am praying to the Lord that He will give me the

strength I need mentally, and physically to recover

from this surgery.

Praise Be to the Lord!

For He is Worthy to be praised!

Giving Thanks

Hello Out there.

Hasn't it been absolutely gorgeous lately?

I am awed by the beauty of new life. It is very inspiring to look

outside and enjoy God's wonderful creation.

The brand new flowers coming into bloom,

the leaves on the trees becoming green.

It is a joy to see.

God is magnificent.

Psalm 118:1 Says

O Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever.

Psalm 95:1 O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to

the rock of our salvation.

When we stop to realize who the creator is and how Awesome

He is to have created this beautiful earth, the birds, and every wonder of nature,

 His glory shines.

Lately, I have appreciated the small things that most of us, myself included,

take for granted everyday.

The joy that comes into my heart from just being able to enjoy the true beauty

of the song birds as they sing, the dew on the grass in the morning,

and the newness of spring is reason to sing praises to our Lord.

He brings a thankful and glad heart to us. We see how great he is and how neglectful

we are at not telling him everyday.

I am thankful for his creation. But I am even more thankful that He is our Creator.

 When our circumstances change, we automatically tend to freak out and

feel abandoned by God. I know I have that tendency.

But slowly, and I mean snail like at times, my God is changing me each day.

Thankfully He is a gracious, merciful God who cares about us more than

we can even imagine. He cares about our sorrows,

and our sadness. I am so thankful that He is never changing.

There are days when all I can do is open up my bible and just read the Psalms.

 It reminds me how much He deserves my thankfulness. He deserves my joy,

even in my sorrow  He is worthy to be praised.

He gives us the strength to carry on when we don't think we can even make it

another minute.

It takes the mighty strength of the Lord to go on sometimes.

But, just when you feel like your life is a blob, and you start feeling sorry for yourself,

His voice is whispering, come to me my child, don't cry, don't worry, I am here for you.

That is love. That is freedom. That is just amazing. That is who our Father is!

Give thanks today. No matter what your current circumstance is.

I know that is hard to do, believe me. It took me a while to be able to do this.

But, it changes you when you do. I really mean it. Something wonderful happens inside your heart.

Even when my pain is out of control, I am learning to praise Him. It takes the focus off of me

and puts it on Him. That's where I need to be. Focused on Him.

So, folks there was a little Sunday school for ya! LoL!

God Bless everyone out there today.

May you find your joy in the Lord today.

When you don't know what to say, pray!

Hello out there!

Over the past few weeks, I continue to understand  that sometimes words aren't sufficient enough 

 to express what's going on deep in our hearts. At times only an utterance or a silent cry to the Lord  

is all we can muster. 

We know that the Lord knows our heart, but of course people cannot see into our hearts.

This can be a problem when you want to speak, or have a conversation, but just don't have the will or the strength.

I have become closer to the Lord over the past few months,  It's made me realize just how far off I had

 drifted from Him. He has been there all along, but in these times of struggling and of pain,

I tend to seek His face more and lean on His strength to get me through the days when I just don't want to

go on. But He is faithful... and continues to give me strength.

To everyone out there in chronic pain or extreme pain,

keep going! Keep up the fight.

The Lord will see you through.



What a beautiful Spring day!

How in the world did march get here so quickly?

I can't believe it's already March.

It just doesn't seem possible.

I love the Spring. I love hearing the birds in the 

morning and watch the flowers as they begin to bloom.

I have a little squirrel house on our tree out back, and the squirrels 

go in and grab some nuts and rush back up the tree.

It's the cutest thing, especially when they bury them in the 

flower garden.

I am starting to put weight back on, thank the Lord.

I was having some problems with digestion and my bowels.

Of all the things to have trouble with at this point.

When it rains, it pours. (most of the time)

I'm trying to stay focused on having a positive attitude. 

I do have a praise to report.

I have seen a new gynecologist and she understands my pain.

I may be able to have surgery within the month-Lord willing.

I know that better days are ahead and I'm looking forward to them.

I pray all of you out there in cyberspace continue

to perserve. 

I know it's tough sometimes, believe me. 

But don't give up Hope. 

The Lord is our source of strength.
