the only way...

 

it will be...

 

it will be worth every tear, hardship, loss, crisis, disappointment, pain, struggle...

one look at His face will erase a lifetime of all those things...

keep your eyes on Him...

don't forget the goal...

be blessed and follow Him...

fibro friday...

 

this is so true...

you will never ever see us on the bad days...

you only see us when we are able to handle life again...

and just because we don't look sick today, doesn't mean the rest of the week or even month had any good days in it...

we stay home more than we go...

we have to not only have the energy to leave the house...

but we must have the energy to get back home...

be strong and battle on!

just whisper his name...

 

made this in 2014...

seems long ago now...

but the words still hold true...

be well, be blessed!

maybe...

 

just think about that for a moment...

tried by fire...

the hotter the fire...

the stronger the steel...

maybe you will need to be strong...

for what God has in store for you...

you are blessed!

morning...

 

remember who you are in Christ...

God will keep you safe...

just believe...

be blessed...

because you are...

 

God made you wonderfully...

truth...

be blessed...

praying for you...

 

is there joy...

 

in your salvation?

if you do not have joy...

then hit your knees and don't come up until you find it...

there is Joy in being a child of the KING!

fibro friday...

 

this hits home...

He is the only way to get through extreme pain...

changes you never thought would happen...

losses you could never imagine...

when everyone else walks away...

He slips in...

you might only be able to crawl through today...

but remember, you are crawling on holy ground...

be well, be blessed...

the heart...

 

it is here...

it's where we have conversations...

it's where I read my bible and pray...

it's where friends sit when they come over...

it is the gathering place all day long...

and well into the night...

and when we can't sleep...

it's where you go...

is it that way in your house?

while we were still sinners...

 

No one else will ever do you what God did for you...

what he continues to do for you...

over and over again...

from the time you were born...

until the time you leave this earth...

you belong to Him...

be blessed...

do y'all have this popping up on your facebook page???

 

I just started getting these things...

these crazy things...

(I bought the clock, by the way)

that pop up out of nowhere...

while I am minding my own business...

I don't even have an Amazon account...

nor do I shop there...

(my son had to order the clock for me)

I don't know how they found me...

but I don't think this relationship will end well...

I did find out that you never, ever click on the pretty pictures...

because that's a whole nother place I should not be allowed to go alone...

did I spend the money I had put back for BenGay this month???

...

...

maybe...

 

have a great week...

 

another year older...

 

hope you have had a great weekend...

been busy here...

trying to get caught up on things...

still in a heat wave, so using inside time for cleaning and sorting and tossing...

yesterday, our sweet baby neighbor turned one year old...

she was almost my birthday twin...

and as of today...

I am now 63...

I have no idea how that happpened, but it did...

and I have been going over fb at the photos that other classmates have posted of our 45th high school class reunion that was last night...

we have cooler days coming Wednesday...

so purging until that happens...

DH has a list of things to get caught up on outside...

be blessed!

love is the answer...

He's got this!

hang on...

be blessed...

 

good morning...

 

you have to just trust Him...

there is peace in that...

do something great...

 

morning...

 

happy day...

 

oh, and life has so many storms...

God has been so good to my family...

over and over again, He shows His love for us...

our car needed replaced...

it was a Mercury Mylan...

beautiful car, heated seats, sun roof...

loved it...

but its been rusting out so bad...

to the point of being dangerous to put on the road...

so I have been praying for a replacement...

God has picked our vehicles out for us for the last 30 years or better...

we need something reliable, safe and that it would last us the rest of our driving lives...

and if wasn't too much to ask, could it be a Ford Caravan?

without us going into debt...

for God, it wasn't a big list...

and we now have a Ford Caravan again...

this is #3 for us...

its a 2015, $5,800 is what he was asking...

DH offered $5,500 and the Mylan...

done deal...

these vans are going for twice that much...

needed no loan for it...

and its sitting in the driveway now...

and for the first time in our lives, we have a back up camera and stow and go seats...

DH loves it!  

I love it...

I can get in a van better than I can get in a car...

and I have more trouble getting out of a car...

I can slide off the seat in the van to get out...

it checks off all the needs and wants...

and we will drive it until we can't drive no more or we run the wheels off of it...

super clean inside...

and it only has 98,000 miles on it...

we can get 250,000 out of one without any trouble...

so there you go...

our miracle this week...

God is good!!!

trust Him!

He can find a way!

blessings!

fibro friday 4

for those of you who do this...

every single day...

you are a warrior!

blessings!

 

he's home...

 

hey...

 

Craig will be home this evening...

flying most of the day to get back here...

got some catching up to do, so may be MIA for a day or two...

be blessed...

good afternoon...

 

have a great week!

 

2 more days and our boy will fly home...

that sure went fast!

be happy!!!

what we throw out there...

rubs off...

have good days!

 

happy sabbath...

 

life isn't always easy...

and we tend to overcomplicate things...

but sometimes...

it's looking at the simplest little details...

that we find true meaning to life...

if you spend all your time thinking about what you can't do and what you don't have...

you might overlook what you can do and what you do have...

those things which you can hold in your heart...

are more valuable than the things you can hold in your hand...

have a blessed sabbath...

fibro friday...

 

lol, this is so true...

when they rule out everything else...

this is what they give you...

pain meds don't work on fibro pain...

morphine doesn't even touch it...

for me, its...

heat...

massage...

acupressure...

and muscle relaxers as a last resort...

because they make me sleepy...

and energy is hard to come by anyway...

so I tough it out...

99% of the time...

fibro people are not lazy...

we are not faking it...

we are some of the toughest people you will ever meet in your life...

not because we choose to be...

it's because we have no other choice...

fibro is something you cannot fight...

because this stuff will fight back harder and knock you on your tail every single time...

we have to learn to live with it...

to live around it...

and to never tick it off...

(which we do)

(all the time)

because life doesn't stop and wait on us to catch up...

and we get left behind a lot...

by our friends...

our family...

God bless all of you with fibro or any other disease that gets the best of you...

and God bless those special people who step up and take care of us when we cannot do it for ourselves...

because if we had a choice...

we would be running marathons!
