1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he
that is in you, than he that is in the world.

I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Thankful
that no matter how chaotic the world may seem around us we can have peace in
our souls by simply asking. The most peaceful place to be is with Jesus.
9:04a- Rough night. Woke at 2am
& 3:30am. Had to get up at 5:30am to
take Joe to work. Went back to bed. Fell asleep until 8am.
Rt hip hurts, heart feels like its racing, chest feels tight &
sore, but pain seems to be easing a
little. Tired much today.
Joe came home earlier than normal. Decided to go bowling as family. I
sat and watch. Didn’t want to have a
relapse.
Rt hip & leg throbbing. Rt
ankle hurts. Back feels achy.
Had interesting few days. I was
feeling fairly well on Friday (one of my better days since my lightning strike)
so I decided to do a few extra chores around the house (wash dishes, couple
extra loads of wash, vacuum my room).
Later that evening, news update indicated that a severe storm was
heading our way on Saturday with possible tornado warning. I decided to help the kids pick up the yard
while my hubby brought in the newer fridge (which by the way quit working L).
By Saturday morning I was really hurting!!! Took it kind of easy most of day. Had trouble falling asleep due to pain. Woke at 3am Sunday morning in excruciating
pain! I suspected I was having a
costochondritis flair up, but was a little concerned it was more. Told my hubby that if I wasn’t feeling better
I would call Dr Monday morning.
At Dr’s visit today, my bp was
168/103. Praise my temp is back to
normal – 98.6! After examinations, Dr
confirmed that I was having a costochondritis flair up and have sinusitis. When she pressed on center of my chest, it
hurt so bad it caused me to cry. This in
turn caused her to think I was depressed and suggested antidepressant. I quickly told her I didn’t need it. I was just tired from not being able to sleep
much and hurting. I also told her that I
get emotional when I’m exhausted. So she
gaved me drepression evaluation. I only
got a 3 so that nipped that in the bud.
Huge praise! Needed to run to
Sams since I was near there. Decided to
check pharmacy for price on rx. Both rxs
ended up costing less than what one of rx would’ve been elsewhere. PtL!
I am now home resting and have 2 more medicines to take. Hopefully, I’ll start feeling better again in
a few days.

Romans 8:31-32 – What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Micah 7:7 – Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Thankful that we have a heavenly
Father above with arms full of mercy and a heart full of love. When we are in
the midst of tough season, we can turn to Him for comfort and strength. We can
lean on His everlasting arms and rest in the truth that He will never leave us
nor forsake us (1 Corinthians 13:5)
April 18, 2018
Matthew 28:20b – and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Life is hard. It can be
challenging at times. Every decision we make has consequences regardless of
whether we like them or not.
While we cannot control what happens, we can control how we react to
them.
God sees us right where we are, and He cares about
our deepest needs. We must learn to trust that God knows best and will use even
our deepest hardships to work them “together for good” (Romans 8:28).
No matter what you maybe facing right now, don’t
give up! Allow the Lord to be your light to guide your way, and your salvation
and strength to overcome your circumstances (Psalms 27:1). He wants what’s
best.
🎶Let the Lord
have His way
In your heart every day
There’s no rest, there’s no peace
‘Til the Lord has His way
Place your life in His hands
Rest secure in His plan
Let the Lord, let the Lord
Have His way🎶

thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Thankful

Galatians 6:7-10
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the
flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit
reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in
due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good
unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Ephesians 6:12-13
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Thankful
for the strength in the Lord to protect us from the wiles of the devil and the
fiery darts of the wicked.
Had bloody nose on way home from church. Stressed over trying to write final exam for ASL

uncomfortable.

elsewhere. Constant dripping noise is
irritating). Woke in extreme pain! Hands swollen & throbbing, skin itching,

Kings 5:2-4
And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of
the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. And
she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in
Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. And one went in, and
told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of
Israel.
What a mighty testimony this
young lady had for the Lord! She decided to serve God regardless of her circumstances.
Her diligence was so impressive that Naaman, captain of the host of the king of
Syria, was willing to listen.
Here’s a perfect example of the phrase “Be careful how you live. You may
be the only Bible some person ever reads.” This young maid’s life pointed
Naaman to Jesus. Does yours?
Ask God to help you not only live for Christ no matter what your circumstances,
but also help you look for opportunities to share Christ with others.
Didn’t sleep well last night.
Woke every two hours. Ugh!
I have noticed it more recently that I loose muscle grip in my hands,

Asked if I sweat. Told him I
didn’t notice a difference because I don’t sweat much. Interesting?
Told him I deal with pain daily from nerve damage & brain
injury. He said I was hit pretty hard
then.
Jokingly told me to stay out of the storms. Told him I was indoors and it was sunny outside. He was shocked! Jokingly said the good Lord was trying to get
my attention. Said, Maybe so, but He
still has a purpose for me because I’m still here. He replied, “You’re right about that one.”
