Thought Of The Day


On a scale of 1 to 10 my pain level most days are above that. To wake up each morning in physical pain can take a toll on your mind and your heart. One day you would like to just wake up and not feel an ounce of pain in your body so you can start your day on a positive note mentally and physically.  Most days it does not happen.  Your mind wonders will I have to deal with this for the rest of my life, am I trusting God, do I have faith?. I can honestly say NO.  Waking up today I realized that sleep was not pleasent, I tossed and turned.  I got up and moved around searching for comfort.  In doing that through the night means, I had to start over.  Start over trying to get good rest without a strong sedative. Living with arthritus and degenerative disk disease and lets not talk about insomnia, I am reminded of the death, bariul and reserection of Jesus Christ.  Television can only show you what they think Jesus endured and in reading we can only imagine. We will never know for certain what our Lord and Savior indured in those days leading up to his final breath.  
So why am I who have freedom of speech, movement of my limbs, air to breath and let me say again freedom in this life so disturbed right now with my issues? No I am angry and I am exhausted. I move daily in pain unless I take something to mask it. I lay down in pain, unless I take something to, mask it.  My nights are not peaceful or restful and lets not talk about RIM sleep, what it that? It scares me to plan something and commit because I never know how the next day will start out. Getting up for work at 3 AM so I can be at work at 6 AM, well you get it right, its a preperation. 
Praise God for Jesus. The devil is a lie. Though in my physical  body I am in pain and I am exhausted and yes I want to scream from the mountain tops and in the grocery stores.  I will stand up pump my fist and pour out my heart of hearts and grab hold of the fact that I am healed by His strips, I can say it all day long and sing it off key. I will praise God and I will worship Him. I will grab hold of the blood that was shed for me and for all of us and say, this too shall pass.  I know it was the blood, I know it was the blood, I know it was the blood for me.  One day when I was lost, He died upon the cross, I know it was the blood for me. 

Hebrews 8:22-25 NLT
22. Let us go right in to the presence of God, with true hearts fully trusting him. For our evil consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
23. Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for God can be trusted to keep his promises.
24. Think of ways to encourage one another to outburst of love and good deeds.
25. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, encurage and warn each other, especially now that th eday of  his coming back again is drawing near.

Be Blessed In The Lord

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha...

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal,  and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing...

Stop Hiding Your Flaws part 2

In my last post, I talked about our flaws and why we shouldn't hide them. When I say flaw, I do not mean to insinuate worthlessness. No, I am pointing out that what others may see as a flaw, God created as a masterpiece, unique and particular. Yes, everything about you is unique and that is why I express the importance of not hiding. The definition of a flaw: a mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object. Our lives are filled with many flaws. Unable to give birth,  unable to read or write, unable to drive a motor vehicle.  Deeper flaws of the physical and emotional are disfigurement,  physical disability,  missing limbs., mental illness.  These are all unique. Why do I say unique?  Because each of the above mentioned is an open door to revealing much more than the flaw itself. It is an opportunity to share and enlighten someone who needs to hear your story and see the winner before them. Courageous. Not defeated or defective...
