5:54 woke thinking that I forgot to set alarm and overslept. My heart is racing. I’m exhausted. Whole body stiff and achy. Nerves stinging.
Galatians 5:13; Psalm 105, 108-110; Colossians 3:12-13
Song on mind: ♫I Will Glory in the Cross♫
I’m not feeling well. Mucus thickening. Throat hurts. I’m actually coughing stuff up now. Lacking energy and just want to stay in bed.
8:15 I have no energy. No time to juice this morning. Trying to figure out what I can add the moringa powder to. Maybe the apple juice?
It’s almost time to go and I find myself needing to lie down a moment. I need more rest.
I should be excited about today, but I’m a little sad because we’re losing a teen today. She’s going to move to Arkansas to be with her Dad. A friend lost her brother y’day. My heart hurts for her.
9:00 get to church and quickly get in bad mood because azomuch that needs to be done. I need help!
I think I’ll take my future daughter in laws advise and plead for help. I just need to figure out how to word it.
We have 9 visitors today. This gives us 30 today and we have a family out. Thank you, Lord.
Had fun surprising my husband by signing the special music with Talina today. I got really shaky and thought I was going to fall at one point, but God kept me up.
I enjoyed quietly singing with the Waddington’s as they sang special music next. I knew most of the verses.
I have a headache now. Feet are chilly.
Took my morning meds but forgot to take the antibiotic.
People probably look at me walking barefoot, but I don’t really care. Going barefoot helps me keep my balance better. I cannot explain the why I just know it does.
2:15 Bro Waddington took time to thank Dezirae for taking time to teach Joy how to braid bracelets. Joy took that and made hundreds for others all around the world. He keeps two in his Bible as markers. Proud Mama moment. Lord, please continue to use my children’s kindness as blessings to others around the world.
Graduates honored in afternoon service. I love the Bible I received. It’ll help me get my creative juices flowing.
4:00 a guy met us at church to give estimate to install the carpet in the parsonage. He for sure can do the bedrooms with what we have, and he will tack down the current carpet in living room properly. He gave us a quote we couldn’t refuse. He will come on Saturday to install the carpet. We will need to go Friday afternoon to move the furniture so it’s our of his way. Thank you, Lord.
6:00 I need to lay down for a nap. Play wholetones music.
6:25 my sister messages me that her and Mom are going to give me some of the green beans they picked and canned. I was expecting any of them because I couldn’t help this time around. Thank you, Lord.
8:00 Jordon shared with me about a friend he made through work. His wife had cancer and asked prayer for her. She has beaten cancer. Jordon asked him to pray for me. He has had me added to their church’s prayer list. He sent Jordon an encouraging message and his wife wants to friend me to encourage me through the cancer. How thoughtful.
8:30 Parents invited us over for ice cream. I’m not supposed to be eating sugar, but I figured this once would be okay. Dezirae and I went over for about an hour. Had a good visit.
10:00 prayed with Joe as we snuggled in bed. I like praying with my husband. It makes me feel closer to him. His warm legs feel good next to my aching legs. Told him sometimes I think if I had a body size heating pad I’d wear it, but then I’d get hot and chunk it off. We giggled.
Symptoms: neck hurts. Headache. Sinuses congested. Coughing. Arms ache deeply. Legs throbbing. Feet tingling. Low back throbbing. Lips chapped. Hands swollen and aching. Periodic radom muscle spasms. Exhaustion. Lack of energy. The moringa leave power in my peppermint tea didn’t taste all that good but it helped me get through the day and have me a little bit of energy for short while. Trouble thinking. Thoughts scattered. Trouble speaking at times – couldn’t find word I was wanting to use or tripping over my words. Raised lesion on neck. As I lt here relaxing before falling asleep, the pain in my body increases. Pain level is a 6 presently.
Thankful for…
1. Sweet reunion among friends. Their son is getting married same day as Jakob.
2. Blessed day at church.
3. God’s multiple blessings in our lives.
I’m fading fast..

7:30 woke from bad dream. I wake thinking I had overslept, but remembered that I was going to sleep in today. A few moments later Rae is knocking on my door asking me if I knew if Arrow was coming today. I told her yes, but they weren’t supposed to be here until 9am. I get dressed and answer door. She apologizes for disturbing us. Her ticket said to be here by 8am. I told her it was okay, but I wasn’t expecting you until 9am. Told her to come on in. Apologized for the mess bc I usually clean up from weekend on Mondays. Visit doesn’t take more than 15 minutes. Bill paid.
Commented on a Dr Livingood video post about what cancer cells eat – sugar.

A Becky H. replied to my comment. The following is my reply…Becky Hursh Both my oncologists are on board with my treating it naturally as well as conventionally. I have been changing my diet in a way I know it will stick long term. We didn’t eat a lot of desserts or candy so that’s been easy to eliminate. I’ve started juicing daily and added more supplements. I was already taking lots of supplements to help in recovery of the lightning strike from five yrs ago. I’ve never been a big salad eater but the juicing fresh fruits and vegetables have been easy and I can tell a world of difference. I’ve learned recently that detoxing is important as well. I’ve already been doing that with diatomaceous earth. Prayers for your journey and that one day you’ll say you are an Overcomer.
8:49 Joe called to let me know that his phone quit working.
1 Chronicles 23-25; Romans 15:2; Galatians 6:9
Medicine containers filled for week. 2 loads clothes washed. 2 loads clothes folded – still need to put away.
Dezirae asked to go do something so I suggested the thrift store. I’m glad I did because we found a working dehydrator. Looking forward to trying it out soon. Found a bunch other things we needed.
Stopped at grocery store for few items then pit stop at recycling center to get rid of grocery bags.
Once home, put food away and dinner in oven. Received a generous donation of a bunch of fresh shrimp. Called Mom for help. Mom, Holly, and I put them in gallon Ziploc bags. I think we ended up with about 6 or 7 full bags and a partial bag. Decided to share partial bag with Dezirae’s piano teacher. Done bagging shrimp in time to skedaddle on to piano lesson. Home to eat dinner, transfer clothes from washer to dryer, clean up a little in kitchen then off to bed.
I’m flat out exhausted and hurting from head to toe.
Symptoms: sinuses congested, slight cough, Eve’s curse lingering a little, low back throbbing immensely, left shoulder throbbing, legs throbbing, nerves stinging – mostly in arms, hands, legs, and feet. Left knee throbbing with intense sharp pain periodically during day – it caused me to have to rethink how to move at times. Lights bothered my eyes at times throughout day – used sunglasses when needed Lacking energy, but was able to push myself. Headache – took Tylenol sinus which helped ease it. The more tired I get the harder it is for me to speak properly – aphasia, stuttering, etc. Pain level mostly a 4/5 today, but is currently a 6.
Thankful for…
1. God allowed me to wake up this morning
2. God allowed us to find dehydrator
3. God’s provision of fresh shrimp
