this...

 


life isn't all about being what you want to be or being where you want to be in any stage in life...
desires and setting goals are not bad...
but most of life is the journey to get there...
thinking you will finally be happy when IT happens will cause you a lot of grief along the way...
learn to be happy no matter where you are...
that doesn't mean you are "settling for less"...
it means you trust God's plan...
I didn't plan on having to use a wheelchair...
but I am thrilled to have it...
it gets me from point A to point B...
and I can do this because I trust God...
I didn't plan on being in so much pain daily...
but it keeps me humble...
and close to God...
He didn't put me here to knock me down...
I am here because He lifted me UP...
so if you're somewhere you don't want to be...
look around and see what you need to learn...
what He wants you to do...
you are where you are for a reason...
and know that you are being blessed in this season...
look for the blessings...
they are many...

true story...

 

just imagine how far God can take you!!!
through Jesus, all things are possible!
be blessed!

for someone...

 

this is for anyone needing to hear this...
you are in my prayers...
and God's hands...

hey...

 

it's another day to do something fun...
find your fun thing today...
steaming some carrots, broccoli and mushrooms for lunch...
(and the next few days)
got one of Walmart's deli chickens to pull apart...
it's going to be good...
my primary care np found me a box of insulin pens...
a free sample...
saved us $500...
yep- keeping her...
it's different from what I use, but we will make it work...
I use an 18 hour insulin, so it doesn't work at night when I sleep...
this one is 24 hours...
I will cut back the dose and keep checking my bs levels...
and see how it goes...
there are 5 pens in the box...
so that's another 22 days worth...
yippee...
have good days!
stay blessed!

are you planning?

just a quick list of things to plant for the bees...
cuz we need the bees...
yesterday was a total down day...
the pain levels were high, so I took half of a muscle relaxer...
we changed pharmacies at the end of last year...
so, some of our meds are coming from other companies...
I could not believe the difference...
I think I will have to cut these in fourths...
half kept me in bed, napping, for most of the day...
I will never try a full dose...
LOL
unless I need to sleep for a week...
we had storms move through early Monday morning...
and thunder shook the house many times...
we got some good rain and at times a little hail...
but no big winds...
the lightening was intense at times...
and it made the grass greener, the buds on the trees bigger and washed the dust off of things...
so it's all good...
will start making my round of calls again later this morning...
but my dr had some things up her sleeve...
a program with the pharmaceutical companies through the hospital...
and there is a program if they can't help me through the hospital itself if they can't help...
Craig's girlfriend from Canada flies in next Tuesday for 3 weeks...
and DH sees the shoulder surgeon on Wednesday...
planning on spring cleaning starting Thursday this week...
and Doug is coming to help me, too...
we all need haircuts...
it's going to be chaos with a capital C...
LOL
so have good days...
be blessed and share His love...

semi busy day...

don't forget who you are in Christ...
got a dr's appointment late morning...
just doing it through the phone so I don't have to get out and about...
or find any fun germs in the dr's office...
just bringing her up to speed on the Rx problem and maybe plan ahead for either direction this takes...
got a cloudy day, rain moving in later...
need to bathe a dog sometime in between all that...
Blue Cross is calling me back today and we will see if things have happened yet with that...
so have good days...
and never forget that God loves you...

God is in control...

God put us all here for a reason...
there is no mistake in that...
I can see God moving through this blog...
in the numbers that are coming...
the stats are showing a large following...
there are many from Asia watching...
the US, Canada and the UK...
I am getting 10,000 views a month, sometimes more...
the overall views are over a million now...
the biggest thing on this blog is God...
I am praying that all of you coming in here find what you are looking for...
I understand some of you cannot leave comments...
that's ok...
I see you...
God see's you...
and I will continue to trust Him and to keep this blog going...
and I will continue to share His love and grace...
be well, be blessed!
we are all here for a reason...

it's been a while...

 

where have you been?

oh, how I have missed you, March...

in like a lion this year...

warming back up tomorrow...

yesterday was another day on the phone...

I was just worn out after and took a nap...

got a few things to do today...

waiting for DH to get back from doing his pt...

making farmer's pie for the next 2 nights...

I saw snow this morning looking out the kitchen window...

I stopped that real quick...

I moved my happy butt to the computer...

LOL

so, stay warm, make some hot tea, and surf the web with me today...

be blessed!
