Clearing out clutter

Good evening all, just wanted to jump in here and chat a minute. Yes, gauging on my title, you’ve probably guessed it, or questioned what clutter I was clearing? Well, it is now, almost the end of January and here in West Michigan, our recycle company comes every other week. Well, if I was a trash or recycle hauler, I wouldn’t want to pick up next week. 😯

Anyhow, I’ve been decluttering our basement, more specifically, decluttering stuff we’re not going to use, or haven’t used in over 5yrs. I told my teenagers, and my husband last week, we were going to start going thru and purging stuff, cleaning, straightening stuff up. My husband then looked at me, and said,”we’re not the incredibles honey, I have no problem with boxes still being in the basement.” Well, ok.

I’ve been trying to be more diligent in also, clearing the negative clutter, out of my life, my heart, soul and my mind. That however, is going to be, a much longer, harder goal to accomplish than just clearing the physical clutter out. It’s been getting harder and harder to be the primary one who’s more diligent in reading my Bible, family devotions in my household.

Because I’ve set myself New years goals, I’ve slacked off and need to get myself back on a schedule to do my personal devos and praise and worship before I’ve done much else in the morning. I’ll be back on the daily Bible reading tomorrow morning, along with reading backdated books, or books I had every intention of reading and reviewing last year and, for whatever the reason, haven’t gotten to them. I’ve been listening to one audiobook I downloaded off scribd, it’s by Dee Henderson and it’s, the witness. I won’t leave spoilers, but I will say it’s a good read/listen.

Ok, that’s all folks, have a great rest of your night, and I’ll catch ya all again, soon. I’m still trying to get a bit more regular on here, between being a trucker’s wife, two teenagers who are always home now, and chronic, invisible illnesses that tends to leave me not wanting to do much, it’s sometimes a struggle to get here when I do.

I’m praying for you all tonight, safe travels for anyone who’s out and about braving snowy, icy roads and for everyone and anyone battling covid or other chronic invisible illnesses.

Trusting

In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. 1 Peter 5:10 NIV https://bible.com/bible/116/1pe.5.10.NIV

Good morning folks, this was the daily Bible verse and knowing what I’ve got going on inside my body lately, I was led to share this here in case anybody else needed to hear this.

Just had a appt on Friday to meet and talk with, what I thought was going to be a nutritionist or dietician, no, it was an occupational therapist. To go over my diet and tentative exercise regimen to help out my liver. For anyone who’s not familiar with issues with your liver, or any form of liver disease, it can be fatal. I say can be, because it most times, doesn’t have any outward signs or symptoms. Everybody is different and some could have outward symptoms. Myself, I’ve had some form of gut and digestive issues most of my life, so when realizing and told about 10yrs ago, that I had NAFLD,I knew nothing.

NAFLD and NASH stand for Non alcoholic fatty liver disease and non alcoholic steatohepatitus. Having just NAFLD, not to bad, but when it turns into nash and worse, again, quite often without external symptoms or signs, it can be fatal. I myself, am starting to really get into researching it. But, when I met on Friday, with the OT, she did not, whatsoever, wanna hear, nor believe, that drugs cause side effects and that some side effects, include weight gain. That just calories did that.

Add having nash, to IBS(irritable bowel), adrenal fatigue, interstitial cystitis, GERD-gastro esophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, severe chronic headaches/migraines, high blood pressure, overactive bladder, it doesn’t always make said patients happy and pleasant. Don’t always go with what your one Dr or therapist is saying, get a 2nd,3rd opinion. Do your own research.

Good morning folks, I know a couple weeks ago, I posted here to say hello and happy new year and that I would touch up on things that have kept me at bay. I’m back, I’m here, and I’ll be working on stopping Satan from deterring me into the land of I can’t. I pray whomever reads this, follows me, that you’ll do the same, I know it’s easier said then done.

Ok, I’ve set myself up for the New year, and as long as I listen to God and follow his nudges and directions, I’ll be posting here quite often.

Today, I’ve been up since before 8am, hurt like severe thunder, and my pain is getting severe as I write this. Too give some ideas on how I feel right now, my head, on the left side, feels like I’ve been branded, and I have burning pressure pain in the upper left side of my head. I’ve got major light sensitivity, which sucks when it’s bright and sunny. All this is never seen or noticed looking at me, which is why it’s classified as an invisible illness.

That is what’s my day so far. I’ll be on a bit later to update again.
