God is Amazing!



I've always felt His presence. Since all this has happened, it has been amazing as God has conquered each obstacle I've been faced with. There are many more to go, but through it all ~ I've felt a hand on my shoulder, making me feel like it's going to be okay, no matter how bad it looks at the moment.

You have to have faith, especially when you pray. I remember my kids would always ask me what I wished for, when ever something happened. As it always seemed something extraordinary would happen and then something wonderful. If you are going to question the 'why', things happen. Your going to waste your time and miss the point, or the blessing.

There is so much in our lives that is out of our control, out of our ability to prevent. No matter how much we prepare, things happen. Things are so hard to deal with when it devastates you. Earthquakes, floods, fires, accidents, so many things......

How we deal with it, makes the difference.

We have so much mental illness in our world today. And we have strayed so far away from God. There are scriptures that tell us, God will keep us of a sound mind. So one has to wonder if the two are related.

Just as we wonder how someone can wake up and go on a mass shooting spree, killing innocent people and then often themselves. There are scriptures warning us in the last days the gates of hell would be opened and people would become possessed by demons.... I've heard some religious leaders are talking 'demonic possession'.

I would be one to agree with them. Based on scripture and the reality of our world today.

So, if we would go back to prayer with faith and believe it is possible with all things and accept the reality of God.......  Blessings would happen.

As they do for those that believe.

It's going to get better



I decided to start doing a few shops again. It's been so long my log in has expired. Fortunately most are welcoming, and those I have to email seem to be responding positively. Already got assignments from one of the schedulers I didn't think liked my work? It's all good. I love working for her, she challenges me.

Tim came over today and helped me clean out the stalls after moving the goats. That was a big job. Tomorrow is will be a month and I'm really over doing it. So I was grateful for the help. My chest hurts in 2 different ways and it's very uncomfortable. My shoulder feels like it's skinned raw, but the skin is there.? Muscles torn up underneath I guess.
I usually have a high tolerance to pain, but I've never had anything like this.! I'm hoping doing shops again will help distract me. Since I can't really do half the things I want or need to do. I might as well get paid to shop, while I heal. If you know anyone in the age range of 18-30 there is a huge need for alcohol and tobacco compliance shops.

Ever since I got ill the first time, since the stroke.. and now since the accident... You just don't realize how much things can take the energy right out of you. I find myself only able to do about half of what I used to do. And I don't see myself ever getting back there!  Perhaps simple old age plays a part, but I think when we beat ourselves up we speed up the process.

It's going to be a better year, I feel it. This is just the start and it's been a crazy month so far. Feels like we've had a roller coaster ride. Cold weather and high winds in the forecast. Stay warm! I think winter is trying to make a statement.
