8:05a- Even with taking Melatonin I woke up a few times last night due
to extreme pain. Once was due to
cramping in left calf muscle…like a Charlie horse. Once due to cramping in back muscles. Another time when I heard thunder &
lightning & rain dripping on recycle bin outside (seriously need to move it
elsewhere. Constant dripping noise is
irritating). Woke in extreme pain! Hands swollen & throbbing, skin itching,
feet tingling, left calf muscles still crampy, low back aches, rt hip
throbbing. Pain is at a 7+!

7:25 – 2
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.”

Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will
strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right
hand of my righteousness.
Amid the hustle and bustle of daily life we need to
spend time with our Creator who is the giver and sustainer of life. He will
give you the strength and inspiration you need to love your family well.
“The tongue has
great power—use yours wisely to encourage and build up others.”
-Paul Chappell
“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.” Hebrews 3:13–15

Lamentations 3:22-26 It
is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail
not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The
Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly
wait for the salvation of the Lord.
No matter what
we are facing it is good to call upon the Lord and ask Him to help you with
your faith and trust in His plan for your life. Consider the loving kindness
and mercies He has shown you. Take time to recall all He has done for you and
in no time your discouragement will turn into joy.

*don’t claim to know the answers of overcoming any injury. I am determined to search for answers (because I’m not getting much help from primary doctor or neurologist. They just tell me to live everyday life. My whole being cries out that there is help out there somewhere somehow. I’m determined to overcome even though this whole situation is distressing for me. I will post information I come across in hopes that it will help someone else along their journey to recovery regardless of their challenges.
