For those that don’t know; I’m auto immune, which one(s) you might ask? So far not sure; blood work has been negative on all four of the types of Lupus, I don’t have MS or RA so that’s good news. I do have “at least Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome “ as per the Joint Doc. My joints pop in and out at will, and thankfully the Chiropractor taught my husbandhow to put everything back but my hips.<div><br></div><div>Off to bed with ice packs if I can find them.</div>CChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08830382713107515286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895477779251575320.post-13784074170041621842019-06-09T19:54:00.001-04:002019-06-09T19:54:37.989-04:00Meal Prep Sandwich Style For quick and easy lunches and sometimes dinner when ya just don’t feel like doing something huge...we do this instead.<div><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1BlFf-xBV8l-kv8SDRTVhCjnVk30T5V8F" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1BlFf-xBV8l-kv8SDRTVhCjnVk30T5V8F" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1oK4CTiMd0jPdDxXTooFB2gafMizWjis6" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1oK4CTiMd0jPdDxXTooFB2gafMizWjis6" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Because I can get a little (cough) heavy handed on the serving size I use a scale.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1b1Otcwwo_Vw5kiX-a032ZjcKS1FN-grQ" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1b1Otcwwo_Vw5kiX-a032ZjcKS1FN-grQ" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Into the plastic baggie it goes.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1TdB_GlTr9yXte2oSmotcCih1oFfypoWb" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1TdB_GlTr9yXte2oSmotcCih1oFfypoWb" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">And back into the container to store in the refrigerator.</div>CChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08830382713107515286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895477779251575320.post-32252738719521168262019-06-01T20:32:00.001-04:002019-06-01T20:32:14.496-04:00Yard Work We generally try and split up chores around the house and yard work is no different.

Why would I do that to myself you ask?<br />
<br />
Herd immunity; protection for myself and my husband; and for those that can't.<br />
<br />
For those that don't know; I'm a CPhT that works in a not so great area of a very large metropolitan city. We get all kinds of people... and we want them to be/stay healthy, so the best way that I can think to do that is repeat if needed. <br />
<br />
For the record the TDaP is basically like a bruised area (duh it went IM) and the MMR is just sore.<br />

<br />
<b>James 1:1-11</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Allow
me to take you back to the first time you saw The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five
Armies…there is a series of scenes that take place surrounding a dragon, gold
and a man watching from the outside as this sickness takes over. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">It doesn’t stop with the dragon, it pulls in
his friends too. See that’s the thing about evil. It doesn’t stop with one of
us...eventually it will take us all if we allow it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span>

hungry, tired and cold of being tired poor and hungry and cold villagers
struggling against day to day life knowing there has to be something better.
The past stories of those that remember the better times and their faith says
so. In the movie, Bilbo and Thorn along
with their ragtag party finally get to go into the Dwarf Fortress that’s built
underground and within the halls are immense amounts of gold, in some places so
high you’d be buried by it. Moving from one hall to another it seems to never
end. In the middle of all of this there is a dragon that is protecting it…but
not just protecting it...hoarding it. Because
you see he has what everyone needs, but refuses to give it to help them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span>

Thorn stays in the Fortress the sickness begins to overtake him. Being in the
middle of all of it, he can’t see it can’t feel it and doesn’t realize even
what’s happening to him. He just knows that someone, anyone is trying to take
what he views as his…the gold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">Bilbo knows something is wrong. It has to be.
This isn’t the same friend that he came with and has been with all this time.
This is someone else…Thankfully he comes to his senses later but it takes the
work of his friends and a bit of faith to make it happen.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">What happens when the same thing happens to
us with our spiritual gifts? Maybe we are just too tired…maybe we just don’t
feel like it.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">Maybe we are just too
busy…wait too busy to help someone in need? That doesn’t sound like we’re using
our gifts to help others…sounds like we’re hoarding them and keeping them all
to ourselves maybe to use later maybe not.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">What happens to that gift of hospitality that never gets used because
you’re too tired or just too busy? Are we really too busy to make sure our
fellow man is being helped by someone, anyone? Maybe it's taking blankets down
to a homeless shelter, maybe its keeping bottled water and snack packs in your
car for the one on the corner that needs it. Could even be something as simple
as a “we’re praying for you, although we don’t have anything to give…we do see
you and you are important enough to still be looked in the eye and acknowledged”.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%;">There will never be another Mother Theresa
but we all have something we can offer to our fellow man, even just praying for
them. And by not doing anything, we’re no better than the dragon sitting on his
gold stash. </span>CChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08830382713107515286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895477779251575320.post-77702059520964602472015-02-27T02:35:00.001-05:002015-02-27T02:35:43.687-05:00I Shall Not Want...A Reflection On An Early MorningI'm up.<br />
<br />
And not happy about it.<br />
<br />
I've been dealing with back pain sense I *decided* it would be a great idea to put up the chickens in not safe shoes and on fresh snow/quickly turning to ice.<br />
<br />
On Christmas Eve<br />
<br />
Although it's getting better (way too slowly in my opinion) sometimes I still deal with the occasional shooting pain down my spine and into my hips.<br />
<br />
At least that was the original reason I was up at a little before midnight.<br />
<br />
Now?<br />
<br />
My brain can't/won't shut off.<br />
<br />
A million things run like a marathon into my brain and hibernate for a few minutes and then leave only to be replaced by something else that I can/have to worry about.<br />
<br />
Someone once told me if you're up and it's an odd hour God might be nudging you to pray for someone. <br />
<br />
Okay Lord....I gotcha loud and clear<br />
<br />
I go down the list and start praying; some I know the reasons, others only God does. But I know He hears my prayers on their behalf,<br />
<br />
A Psalm is brought to mind...23,,,a well known one to many..<br />
<br />
and a line gets stuck in my head...<br />
<br />
"I shall not want"<br />
<br />
Beyond anything else that anyone is facing, if we are of Him than we shall not want<br />
<br />
So thankful I was able to be open to listening to what He has to tell me and while praying for others be ministered to as well.CChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08830382713107515286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895477779251575320.post-10434962271448555122014-11-09T20:15:00.002-05:002014-11-09T20:15:40.728-05:00AnxietyAnxiety....<br />
<br />
Hello my old friend.<br />
<br />
You're back.<br />
<br />
You've<b> not</b> been missed. <br />
<br />
I could list all the reasons why I'm anxious, but it won't make the outcome any different.<br />
<br />
Here's why:<br />
<br />
<br />
I've learned over the years that when you're here part of your plan is to defeat my spirit and take away what God has planted in me...<br />
<br />
<b>a desire to serve and do what's commanded and right by His word</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
When you show up, I remind myself that the phrase "don't worry" is in the Bible 365 times...a misstep? A wrong count?<br />
<br />
I doubt it.<br />
<br />
I'm Standing on the promises that God has given me in His word and through others in my support system...<br />
<br />
God will never leave me nor forsake me.<br />
<br />
Guess what?<br />
<br />
That includes ALL the time.<br />
<br />
Even when I'm weak...<br />
<br />
<i>Especially</i> when I'm weak.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lord have mercy on me, for I am just a sinner<br />
