Woke with much pain in back, arms, & hands

May 25, 2018

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 John 4:18-19 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.

Thankful that no matter how broken and empty we may feel, God knows right where we’re at and loves us just the same. He doesn’t throw the clay away. He patiently molds our lives over and over in the likeness of Him. We can be vessels of honor as long as we are yield to Him.

Psalm 34:8
O taste and see that the Lord is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

We need to relish and take pleasure in God’s goodness. What an encouragement to know that we can cast ALL our cares on Him. He not only has all the time in the world to listen, but also He compassionately supplies our every need.

7:16p- A peep into part of a day of a Lightning Survivor with TBI:
It took me two weeks to get the youngest child’s 4th quarter & yearly grades completed. I just finished tonight in time to finish preparing dinner (meat was in crockpot).
One more to go. This brain is fried.
Thankful that the Lord’s mercies are new every morning!

Woke up in extreme pain.  Difficulty sleeping through night.  Combination of storm and not getting enough rest this week – I think.  Joe told me to stay in bed.  Took a pain pill and slept til 12:30pm.

6:46p- Tried a new vegetable side for dinner – Roasted Parmesan Garlic Cauliflower & Broccoli. Kids loved it told me that I could have it any time. ❤

Romans 8:37-39
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Thankful for the measureless, unconditional love of Jesus! ❤

Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

Thankful that no matter what our circumstances we can rest secure and trust that God has everything under control.

8:04p-I love ❤ when God answers a prayer that you haven’t told anyone else about. What’s even better is He has it delivered to your front door! #Godisgoodtome

8:40p- Thunderstorm came through this afternoon.  I am so exhausted.  Feel like crashing.  Whole body aches.  Nerves feel like random stinging nettles.  Stress headache.

May 17, 2018

8:43a- Having bad dreams again.  Watery, crusty eyes.  Whole body aches.  Nerves in hands, feet, and lower back stinging.  Hands swollen and throbbing.  Feet ache.  Rt hip hurts.  Headache gone.

Thunderstorms my nerves do not like.

7:18p- Transitions are inevitable.  Some are stirring.  Some are solemn.  Some are shocking! Joshua 1:6-9

Saturate yourself in God’s Word

Support yourself in God’s Word

Submit yourself in God’s Word

Why? To advanced yourself to be successful

2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Thankful that God uses those who are willing regardless of our weaknesses or flaws. Let’s not try to wiggle out of being used, but rather do our best with what we have.

God has a specific plan for each of us that only we can fill. Let’s not miss out on His blessings by making excuses of why we can’t do what He asks.

2:27p- That moment when you and your son get randomly chosen for interview with local news channel and you can’t spit out what you want to say because of speech difficulties stemming from your lightning injuries. Ugh!

10:40p- Took bp at 5pm. Bp 146/95 hr 93 Glad it’s starting to go down.

It’s been 10 months today!  It’s been quite a struggle and a transitional period for not only me but also my family & friends. 

I’m working through nerve damage which causes daily chronic widespread pain.

My blood pressure on average is now 169/104 hr 93

Since I started taking Plexus Slim & Plexus Nerve, the pain is slowly decreasing.  I have finally  started sleeping more at night some nights as much as 6 hours – that’s huge for me.

I am also working through a traumatic brain injury which includes but is not limited to frequent headaches, lack of concentration, heightened sensitivity to bright lights and loud noises, bouts of vertigo, communication difficulties, memory issues, bouts of clumsiness, mood swings, and periodic vision difficulties.  Some days are better than others.  Stormy days are difficult at best for me.  Those days my nerves all seem to misfire causing random burning needle pain and muscle cramps/spams.

I diffuse Lavender and Frankincense oil at night to help me sleep.
