Flare...

Between the weather change and stress; I’ve got myself a flare.  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.

Off to bed with ice packs if I can find them.

Jesus Friend of Sinners

Heavenly Father we humbly come before Your throne and ask that you mold us and make us into what You would have us be and do as Your servants.  Thank you for allowing us to serve You. We are so grateful for this chance.

"Break our hearts for what breaks yours."

 YES YES YES. 

Father please teach me how to love like You. To understand without question and to be able to help and minister too and love.

You're not good enough.  No one cares what you think. You're just too fat/skinny/whatever shape it is they don't like. Why are you even trying to preach and teach Christianity? You're not smart enough. You're bringing your spouse/family/friends/people that half-way know who you are down. 

Here's the one that really gets to me... Just.Give.Up. 

Ouch. That one still stings a little lot. Usually that one brings me to almost tears.  A place of just about desperation when I really just want to give up.  But guess what? We don't have to give up.  That is the father of lies, the evil one talking.  

I've heard it said that you know you're doing what you're supposed to be as a Christian when the devil won't leave you alone. 

Thank you Father for giving Your word to me to learn from and lean on and to be able to grow and feel closer to You.  You are amazing for thinking of me as Your child and knowing that You'll never leave me or give me more than I can handle.

Living The Crazy Life

Living the Crazy Life

(La Vida Loca)

When my alarm goes off at 5 A.M. There's not a lot going on in my brain but usually there is a song to be had in there. Sometimes it's stuck for a minute and sometimes it's there for days and days and other times it's there to spark me thinking about something.

This is one of those such moments.

Sometimes we're living the crazy life and no idea why or when it's going to slow down due to anything and everything and other times we're living a crazy life with no job and no income and yet knowing that we're okay because we're trusting in something. Anything. In our case..we're trusting that God has it handled because He's the one that called us to this life and we know it to be true otherwise we wouldn't be here in the first place. Still other time's we're wondering when that next big thing is going to happen with our lives and waiting sometimes patiently and others not so much.

Yet if we're Christians then we're on the same path and living our lives according to God's word and Holy Tradition and knowing where we're going in the end. So I challenge you to live that crazy life on purpose doing God's will for your life and helping each other along the way. Ya never know what might happen next.

May the Lord bless you on your journey.
