“Any concern too small to be turned into prayer is too small to be made into a burden.”
~Corrie Ten Boom
Philippians 4:6-7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
“O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!”
(Excerpt from “What A Friend We Have in Jesus” by Joseph Scriven)

4:00p- Jakob calls his daddy to ask for prayerz bc his car broke down on way to work. Guy at work is mad and not being nice. Jakob upset. I message friend that lives up there. They will call him to check on him to help. I’m trying not to stress, but it’s already wreaking havoc with my nerves. Lord, please protect him & help him.

“It is no secret what God can do
What He’s done for others He will do for you
With arms wide open He’ll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do”

7:00a- woke groggy and sluggish. Hurt all over. Neck hurts. Brain hurts.
7:30a- watched Broken Brain video on Traumatic Brain Injury. So much good information. Taking notes. Only able to watch 20 minutes at a time. Brain overload! Need a break or I’ll have to take pain rx.
8:30a- Need to get kids grades completed and on proper form so I can turn them in by tomorrow. Been working on it for two weeks at least. Starting year out better than last year, but oh so much information causes blurred vision, headache, brain fog, & pain throughout body.
10:00a- almost forgot to take morning Vitamins/RX – Edarbyclor, Alpha Lipoic Acid, B Complex, MSM, B-12 melt tabs
10:41a- managed to fold 2 loads of laundry. Pain is 8 throughout body! Brain hurts. Neck hurts. Nerves painful tingling throughout. Back throbbing. Exhausted. Taking a break.
1:00p- drank a plexus slim to give me enough energy to get project done at church (not suppose to bc of caffein free diet, but I need extra energy)
2:20p- it’s taken me all day to try to listen to brokenbrain.com video about TBI. Shared link on Fb. Took notes. Could only watch in 10-20 minute increments as it was information overload. Gave me a headacke. Took notes.
Thankful for God’s grace and mercies (they are new every morning Lamentations 3:22-23), and for His direction. I have been researching how to heal my brain as naturally as possible. Thankfully, through no direction of my doctors, I’m already doing a lot of what these specialists are suggesting…just need to research some new information and figure out how to work it all in. God is good.
2:30p- went to church with sister & daughter to work on mission closet. Got shelves up & doing good hanging clothes. Without warning anchors let loose and one shelf comes crashing down. By this time, I’ve done what I can do and pain is too much. Need rest. Sister n daughter feel bad. I say I know but we learn through trial and error. If at first you don’t try again. We’ll try again another day. Besides Joe will probably know better than I how to fix it. My brain’s done thunk today. My upper body and arms are throbbing.
5:00p- heading home I noticed a red light flickering on dash, but couldn’t see it long enough to figure out what it was. I almost ended up in accident bc I was trying to focus on that instead of car in front of me! Had to slam breaks. Stopped in time. Red light flickered again…it’s the oil light. Decided to stop at dollar store to get oil. Daughter checked oil in parking lot…definitely low on oil. Sister asked if I waz going to add oil. No I’ll wait and have Joe check when we get home.
5:30p- Dezirae asked to make dinner. Thankful because I was wore out and not really up to making dinner. She did great. Made tuna patties, corn, and mashed potatoez.
10:45p- it’s been quite eventful day and I’m feeling repercussions of it…headache, neck hurts, ears hurt, ringing periodically in left ear, entire back hurts, rt hip throbbing, hands swollen, achy, & tingly, toes freezing, upper arms ache, legs throbbing, exhausted, eyes hurt, lights bright, noises too loud, can’t think anymore…must try to fall asleep and get rest. Kids have co-op classes tomorrow.
