  2. Established a daily routine. Get adequate sleep. Wake up & go to bed about same time each day.

Lightning Strikes – Journal Entries 18-19 March 2020

March 18

645a had to take Joe to work this morning bc mine’s in shop. Very dense fog made it difficult to see. Thankful Rae in car with me. Got bit confused as to where to go. Dodged head-on collision in my lane on Sollie. Big pickup truck turned on Sollie into my lane. Scared me. Missed turning on my road to neighborhood.

Lower lft leg & foot muscles twitching. Feet tingling. Rd hip throbbing with sharp pain in butt region. Headache. Woke to bloody nose. Tired and need to rest.

1100a had to go to co-op to pick up files. Had impulse urge to stop at thrift store to look for file cabinet. Found a four drawer one for $10. Yay! Decided to buy black paint to cover rust marks.

1230 stop at store and morning errand wore me out. Came home. Ate lunch and rested a bit.

230 Decided to try painting file cabinet. Half way through my fingers had trouble cooperating. Took me a bit to get project done.

530 few hours later project is creeping up on me. I’m in much pain. It hurts to move. Headache worsens. If only crying would ease pain I would but it won’t so I’m not. Really could though.

700p Can’t get comfortable so I decide to check on some people to see how they’re doing.

 

March 19

800 woke in extreme pain. Decided to take pain rx so I can get out of bed. Whole body throbbing. Dr side stomach muscles spasming…feels rather weird…almost like combination of baby kicking violently from inside and hundreds of butterflies fluttering inside stomach.

It hurts to move. Took me an hour to muster up energy to get out of bed.

Nerves stinging through put body. Have to remind myself that pain let’s me know I’m alive.

1000 worked on establishing a daily routine for our house. Maybe that’ll help me feel like I’m getting back to some normalicy.

1150 need to bring home the Christian counselling paces and start them.

Decided to work thru routine. In doing so, folded clothes for Rae to put away on her bed. Started load of laundry. Arms & hands stinging. Short of breath. Exhausted. Resting for a bit.

In studying for ladies devotions and trying to figure out details to incorporate a Titus 2 ministry, thought came to mind. Maybe it’s good thing I’ve forgot how to do a lot of things bc it gives me fresh perspective on how to start establishing daily routines, cleaning chores, etc.?

1000 got Jordon to clear out broken dresser out of his room. Decided to clean & straighten pantry. Finished Rae’s laundry. Wore myself out. Joe decided to send me to bed after dinner so I could rest bc he doesn’t want me to get sick. It irritated me to be secluded from family. Rae came and watched a movie with me

March 16

800a rough night up every few hours. Whole body aches like my muscles have shrunk and I am stretching them back out as I move. Good thing is that it’s clearer for me to breath this morn.

Headache. Neck tight. Shoulders tight and hurt. Entire back hurts. Rt hip hurts. Hands achy and swollen. Legs ache. Feet tingly. Feel like I broke a fever in my sleep.

Muscles eased up some as I began to move around. Still having trouble with cramping/spasms if I move wrong.

1.30p Joe decided to go check on getting service for Rae’s phone. We have to get it unlocked first. While we were out decided to go grocery shopping. Shocked out how empty the shelves were. Only shelves barely touched were milk & candy aisles. Outing wore me out. Feel like crashing. Jordon offered to put food away for me. I took nap for couple hours. It was peaceful sleep.

721p still having trouble with bloody nose lft side. Made Creamy Garlic Tuna Pasta (aka Tuna Noodle Casserole) for dinner. It was a nice twist to how I normally make it.

1136 there’s an app on my phone that I’m learning to utilize. I’ve been able to drink 100oz water two days in a row. Yeah! It helps remind me when I should drink more water. Eventually need to figure out how the rest of the app works.

Nose still slightly bloody lft side. Need to find charging cord. Upper back hurts. Neck tight. Slight headache. Scalp itches think my psoriasis is acting up. Low back & rt hip throbbing. Lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling. Feet tingly. Hands achy & swollen. Tired but wide awake.

 

March 17

1159p can’t seem to get my nosebleeds under control. Ugh. Major headache.

Tbi mtg this morning. News that one of the people had tumor on back of brain that inoperable. She died on her birthday. How sad. I don’t even remember what she looks like because I have trouble remembering all their names.  I came away spiritually, emotionally, & physically drained. Teresa informed me that she put my name in for a TBI study at USA with the therapy students for three days. Will be working with physical therapy and occupational therapy students and may even get to work with speech therapy students.

Major headache right now. Inside I’m excited about it but I feel so drained right now I don’t know how to show it.

How do I counsel a person who stands for everything I don’t? Who I feel is mad at God for things that happened in her past. I can see the anger in her eyes and it hurts me that she’s hurting and depressed. If I’m truly honest with myself, I battle with depression as well. I know I need to encourage myself in the Lord as David did. I sometimes feel so alone.

March 14

1005pm  tough night. Woke several times due to abdominal pain. It got worse when I tried to move. It eased by morning but cramping spans would flair if I moved too much. Took me a bit to be able to get up this morning.

Stayed home to rest from soul winning today. I hated doing so but I could hardly move. Joe ended up cancelling it anyways due to this Coronavirus scare. Media hyping up more than needed.

People need the Lord. I cannot imagine living in that much fear that your afraid to run out of toilet paper. Taking some precautions is good but some people go overboard. I wonder how much media would hype it up if it wasn’t an election year.

 

March 15

1208a I’m wide awake. Congested. Need to blow nose but afraid it’ll bleed again. Not sure what’s cause this tome. Not using benadryl. Stopped using naproxen. I hurt for it too. Tylenol only helps ease headache a smidge. Frustrating.

Hands swollen and throbbing. Eyes watery. Headache. Low back aches. Rt hip aches. Lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some numbness. Feet tingly.

Praying for Rae as she’s not feeling good. Went to bed early. Sore throat. Headache. Chills. I wonder if there’s a symptom checker.?

630 set alarm to take shower this am. Tried to move to get out of bed and rt side cramp horrobily.

730 read 1 Corinthians 3 &4

1053 home with Rae sick today. Trouble with bloody nose lft side. Can’t figure it out. Feeling quite weak now.

500 took two hour nap. Not feeling so good. Exhausted. Bad dreams kinds of. It’s like my brain is working through all the traumatic events in my life and working them out…maybe it’s God helping my brain to transfer them from muscle memory to brain memory. I know it sounds crazy. Most recent was my first love in college. After we were talking about getting married, I was devastated when I found out the news I did and we weren’t getting married. My brain scanned to loving husband I’m married to today and Jeremiah 29:11. My brain was okay that my past turned out the way it did.

Dezirae starting to feel better. We’ll see how she’s feeling tomorrow. May have to take her to Drs. Current regimine 1500mg Vitamin C, elderberry 2 capsules, and zinc 3xs day. I’m doing same.

1000 feeling quite lousy about now. Whole body aches differently than normal. Center of chest hurts. Headache has been dull most of day. Lower lft leg tourniquet tightening feeling with some travelling numbness and tingling to foot. Periodix abdominal cramping thru day. Muscles hyperactive spam mode…not sure cause of sudden frequency. If I turn just so sides start spasming and I have to sit still and/or double over until they subside. Coughing. Bloody nose lft nostril all day off and on. Finally found a nasal saline spray to moisten nasal passage to see if that’ll help.

Matters of the Heart

Matters of the Heart

1 Samuel 16:7 says But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” 

God does not look at a person’s skin tone, background, clothing apparel, or social status.  Rather, He looks at the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”  Matthew 15:8

There are many in churches today who honor God with their mouths and actions, but their hearts are far from God.  Their heart – their true self – is consumed by worldly concerns.

God’s Word says the God searches the heart.

“I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”  Jeremiah 17:10

We can rationalize the way we are living.   But God sees your true intentions.

The type of heart you have matters to God!

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.  Proverbs 4:23

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:  but the Lord pondereth the hearts.  Proverbs 21:2
