Dang it anyhow!



It's snowing.... Going to make everything I have to do this week, a bit harder to get done. And of course it's shopping week, with supplies due for the animals. I don't mind the snow, really. I just prefer it stay a little higher up in the mountains and leave the valley roads clear. It's been a light sprinkle but a steady sprinkle since about 6 pm and we have a definite layer of snow now.

Winter is the one season I wish we could get through as quick as possible. With the least amount of weather conditions. The goats would agree with me if they could talk. StarBright loves to play in it. The chickens haven't seen it yet, we'll see tomorrow how they feel about it. Miss Sophia woke up with a swollen cheek, I think she has an abscess tooth. So the Vet might be on the agenda tomorrow as well. Normally Sophia would be out there running around and playing in it. The cats sit in the window and watch it snow. Not to disturbed by it.

This is the one time of year I do wish the 5th wheel had a bathtub. Nothing like a nice hot bath on nights like this. Even a shower longer than 5 minutes might feel nice. Hmmm, I'm feeling a night out in a hotel, just to get away. I could use the change of scenery, even if it's just across town and for a night. I've been so house bound since the accident. Unable to do so many of the things I would normally be doing. Feels kind of like a prison, in it's own way. Being injured.

It's been a month. I know I'm doing more than I should but I have been careful, I think. I just can't help but wonder if it's still supposed to hurt this much. I know, I answered my own question with the opening statement. I do wonder how much is the accident and how much is my arthritis and back issues. Feels like ribs are loose and jabbing into other parts of me. Having a rib broke in the back was the worst. No way to lay comfortably on my back, side or stomach.   

Oh, I went into Mattress Firm today and was checking out new mattresses.. I want the new base/frame. Just have to figure out how to put it in the RV, Considering the bed base right now is a storage box. Put the base and mattress on top and I might need stairs just to get up there. But.... to have the head and feet moved into the 0 gravity position. I'd be able to breathe and sleep! Vibrating options, and remote control. Oh ya, the mattress was to die for. My back didn't want to get up.

Who knows, I might even actually sleep in one day!

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.
