God Is So Good! Mood
Tuesday, July 15, 2008 | An Inspiring story

Thank you Lord, yesterday I was a bit down, blah...not much personality...just a basic bore is the way I would describe it.  Of course God's timing is always perfect.  When I was contemplating my navel yesterday-LOL my son called out of the blue.  He wanted to share two jokes he had heard on the radio!  Wow, I can't even remember them now LOL-but they were very funny, and lifted my mood.  Then in the afternoon, I got a funny card from my cousin Frieda (wink, wink,).  It was hysterical.  I also got a cheery card from Thelma too! 

 

Then another DS friend sent me some praise and worship cd's along with some instrumental cds...just love them, and have enjoyed them all morning.  A few of the songs remind me of my kids when they were in High School and College.  They sang in a couple of ministry type teams...so when I heard  those songs...it brought memories back and a tears to my eyes, but a happy tears! 

 

You never really know when a random act of kindness, or a simple joke, or a funny card can bless someone so much.  Just getting a quick hug, or thinking about you message can go a long ways when you are home and by yourself...and need a little human contact, while still sitting in your jammies!  My DS friends don't care if my hair is falling out, or if I am a bit cranky, tired, and just plain worn out.  SOMEONE is always right there with a bit of encouragement, or much needed laughter!

 

Everyone of you will receive coupons redeemable in Heaven for all you do to share, encourage, pray and uplift others.  Especially when you, yourself need the encouragement and uplifting, but instead of complaining you give of your self to others. THANK YOU!

 

God has all the details covered....I don't need to worry about anything...just get better and trust in the Lord wit hall my heart! 

 

 Mathew 22: 37-39

 37 ...'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'  This is the first and greatest commandment.  

And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

 

Everyone here does a fantastic job of loving your neigbor (DS Members) as yourself...this is where the coupons come in!

 

 My heart longs to be back in church...I know in time I will be and will be trying to keep all my plates spinning!  I sometimes feel like a horse in the starting area just before the open up the  gates for them to race.  I am just waiting for that gate to open! I just know, I will be back up and running full speed with a renewed spirit, mind and hopefully body in so many ways.   I long to not be tired like the old days, or like right now LOL!

 

Looking ahead!

    We will all be spinning those plates again soon right? Right now I can only manage a couple of kiddie plates though and then I have to stop and rest. Lord please give us all the strength to endure this tx obstacle course.

    Thru many dangers toils and snares, we have allready come.
    T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
    And Grace shall lead us home.
    Truly, Truly, God works His wonders every day when we look for them. Sometimes in hind site. I may sound sick when I say this "but dang the torpedoes" I thank Jesus for this disease "in me",many will say he lost it , I don't like this disease at all and I pray it is wiped from the face of the planet and I pray for every one who suffers now and suffered in the past and those who will suffer when they find out "please do not take this the wrong way" But, for if I had not found it I would not have found Him. And in finding Him I have eternal life and true salvation. God works in many ways some we don't like, BUT I DO NOT HAVE TO APPROVE OF OR AGREE WITH GOD, FOR GOD TO BE GOD AND FOR GOD TO BE RIGHT. Those that know my history should know I did everything possable to get HIV and HCV, I thank God I don't have HIV, but I have HCV and some people didn't do anything to get this and a manicure could have done it, for these I am truely saddend, and those that played a dangerous game like me I also pray for. But I am living on borrowed time, for I should have died tenfold by now, but for some reason here I am. I am not on Tx and not to equate Tx with Methadone Withdrawl, but we all have our own personal hells, this is mine and when I am not on drugs that once were a reliefe and now a burden, I will start some form of Tx, but at the same time? not recommended.
    As to the wonders of our Lord, I signed on and went to the posts and the first one I went to open I hit the wrong button and eventually opened a post about how you are supposed to get Hep A & B vacs when you are diagnosed with C. When I got the report from the gastro doc, I can't remember if he had mentioned it, I remember him telling me about Tx and my odds and the amount of time I would be on it and my mind was on the surgery he was supposed to clear me for, so I may have not heard him say it. He did say that I should make an appointment to start Tx as soon as I recover from surgery. I recieved no calls from any health unit or CDC or anybody, not even the gastro. guy. So here I am staring the truth in the face and started to freak, big time, I never made any appointments for follow up and was just trying to do the best I can by my liver (eating right, exercize, lots of filtered water, natural supplements and foods), to wait and see what my options are, and wanted to get another blood test to see what the numbers looked like, after a couple months, and never followed up with a phone call to a gastro. DUH. I so believe God can do anything, and He can undo anything, this I know in my heart and soul. I also believe Faith can move a mountain, BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BRING THE SHOVEL. : )
    If you read my journal from yesterday the twentieth I think I covered where I was at that time, mentally and Spiritually. So any hoo I was freaking, heart racing, cold sweat running down my back, I started to type to Mckenzie because she had answered to the post and I was typing like a lunatic, rambling and scared out of my wits, when a calm came over me. I didn't ask the Lord for help and guidence, but he calmed me and then I remembered everything I have is at His feet, I prayed, then, continued writing with a new found joy that He not only led me to Important info, by hitting the "wrong" key, he also calmed me in a moment of panic (when my mind was racing back and forth between do I take a valium before I jump out the window (don't worry I live in the basement : )to why didn't I follow up with the gastro to I think I'll take my heart attack now please, to calm, sweet calm, it came as like a blanket, and I remembered He is with me here right now.
    Every day a new beginning, not promised, but given by my Lord. Darn He's Good. Too good for the likes of me but still He brings me treasure. Peace and Prayers and hope to all, Pete
