The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Good morning folks, I’m back again after a minor, but time consuming health ordeal. I have, now cancer free, skin cancer, thankfully gotten with one little chunk of hide. I’ll have to get stitches removed the end of the month and another skin check in 6 months. I go on July 13, to the spine specialist, for him to evaluate my MRI and discuss next steps on what’s going on, high powered drugs to control headache disorder, flared up migraine sucks as much as having the stupid things.
I wanna go back to normal, my first original normal. 🤔
Watch “See A Victory (Lyrics) – Elevation Worship” on YouTube
This song has been running in my head nonstop for the past 24hrs, I’m sure it’s God’s way of telling me something.
I pray everyone is doing well, prayers and blessings too you all. I will see you a bit later. 🤗🙏
Good morning, almost afternoon. I seriously wanna know how everyone is faring during all this Coronavirus closing. Praying everyone is doing well otherwise.
I have been doing fare to Midland myself. These past two weeks since I was here last, well, occipital neuralgia and migraine, add to it side effects from the meds, lightheadedness, dizziness, can’t drive yourself, hello high blood pressure and upped issues 😜😜 ok now that that’s out.
I don’t know about you, but libraries and churches need to open, today would be nice.
Ok, I’m just gonna gently, maybe not gently rant, but, feel free to rant away here. If anybody would like to share any info that hasn’t been shared about covid-19/Coronavirus, or rather some true facts about it, I’m open to learning. 😊 I had a couple Dr appts today, first one was a mammogram, ladies, you all know about those. You get in there, have to wear a mask, ughhh, and when she wanted me to turn, head up, shoulder here, ok all this hurts, I just let her do what she needed to do to get pics. Oh, btw folks, all this, “you must wear masks, yes you can wear your own mask, we actually prefer this option. Oh, I’m sorry, you can’t wear that here, here, here’s one of our masks,-do we can complain later because we’re out of masks, them quit handing them out to everyone and be happy they’re actually wearing masks.” Goodness great boxes of masks.
Ok, I’m gonna end this post here folks. Have a wonderful rest of your Weds. 🤗
Good afternoon everybody, I have been pretty afk most of the week. The reason I’ve been away, more than here, I’ve been battling a headache disorder with migraines thrown in for good measure. The headache disorder is occipital neuralgia. I posted something here the other day to give folks who aren’t aware of it, or now realizing that they may be dealing with it, what it looks like and the fact that it does very much, mimic migraines. It has taken over my social life and my personal life. Sometimes I’ve got good moments I can tolerate being on my phone for a bit more than stalking. Sometimes not.
As my topic title states, prayers are needed more than ever, not for me, but for our state, Michigan. Prayers greatly needed in our nation. I know and understand that not everyone is going to agree with my message or reasons why we need prayer, but that’s exactly why I’m posting this, especially today. I pray daily, I may not always read my Bible every day or study it every day like I should. But I do pray every day. Today, May 7,2020, is national day of prayer. I’ve shared it on my Facebook page, I’ve shared it at the top of this post also.
I pray that everyone willing and able tonight, today and every day, pray for there state legislatures, and everyone in office around the world. I’m not saying that covid-19 isn’t real, or that it can’t kill people. However, in my honest opinion, I don’t think it’s as deadly as they’re claiming it to be. But keeping everyone quarantined, at home for months on end, is not the end all, be all that they think is going to help. What I mean by that, is keeping everyone quarantined at home, once the stay at home orders are cancelled, they are going to see more sickness, all at the same time, because of everyone who’s stayed at home and kept their immune systems closed up, they’ll be more susceptible to getting sick quicker and easier.
I’m praying for everyone here, good, bad or indifferent. I don’t care who you are, where you live or what you do, I’m praying for you. I pray for all the front line/essential workers-nurses and nursing professions, doctors,PA’s, paramedics, fire departments, police and especially, truck drivers. Contrary to popular belief, truck drivers are just as essential and just as much front line workers as the rest of them. Who do you think delivers supplies the necessary, required, PPE?
Good morning folks, it’s a beautiful Saturday morning and this video I shared to start off today, was something that I think all of us cast iron users might be helpful. When you click the link below to watch it, if you’re not already following Kent Rollins on YouTube, I’d hope you do.
On to a recap of this week. I last posted on Sunday, and I think Monday, trying to keep my good habit up at least three days a week. Anyhow, in my last post, I mentioned being one among many, that have many invisible illnesses. One of which of those invisible illnesses, is a very painful, only understandable if you’ve ever experienced it yourself, called occipital neuralgia. Mine came along suddenly last fourth of July, and sadly, hasn’t gone away. I’ve seen different doctors that wanted to be, “inside their little box, government/big pharma compliant, to just call it chronic migraines, here’s some meds, call me when/if you need more or something different” have a nice day Drs. Clearly, that didn’t make me happy, nor did it do anything.
So, advocating for myself, tired of hurting and feeling useless, I went off in search of a second opinion neuro via my primary, who was on board with trying to help me, knowing she as a primary Dr, could not. So, a day before my hubby’s surgery two months ago, he is an neuro ophthalmologist, awesome. He checked me out pretty thoroughly, decided it wasn’t anything to do with my eyes, thank you Jesus. He felt and pushed around, trying to get me some relief, he listened when hubby and I talked and described and explained to him all that took place over the past twelve years anyhow. By the end of my appt, he said, good news, it’s not”just” a headache, and it’s not”just” a migraine. It’s occipital neuralgia, that when really flared up, brings on migraines, and no, direct migraine meds won’t touch. He gave me two nerve blocks on each side of Base of my skull, which sadly didn’t work and two different meds, that as of late, aren’t doing much, unless I’m sleeping.
Ok, so, I said I’d delve deeper into my invisible illnesses, and I started with the most severe one currently. I’ll be back later for some of the rest of them.
Good evening happy, quarantined people. I hope and pray everyone is doing good and hanging on. I have a few things I’ll be sharing here today. Some may downright tick people off. Some, they may agree with it. I’m not trying to cause waves, just sharing some things that have opened my eyes that I’m trying to keep in the forefront of each and every moment. Some things I’ll be sharing, are stuff probably every state is dealing with.
This first thing, is something I have been struggling with myself for quite some time
https://foreverymom.com/mom-gold/motherhood-kingdom-work/…. As anyone who’s following my blog, reads every time I post or is just coming across it today, I am a Christian. I don’t wanna make it seem as if I’m pushing my beliefs on anybody, ever. But there it is, I’ve been a stay at home mom to four kids I would do anything for, for over ten years. The world’s standards make it difficult for us stay at home momma’s that are feeling like, we aren’t enough, we’re “just stay at home momma’s”. We are so much more. I’ll get into this in a later post, just wanted to share this and if anybody is interested in sharing, chatting, venting, absolutely do so.
This next topic, again, not trying to bash anybody, but this is what my state Governor is doing, for anybody who’s interested…https://youtu.be/JPg2bWJg9uU. We here in Michigan, feel y’all’s pain. Again, for anybody who’s interested to discuss, vent, release frustration, you can do that here, just please no Governor bashing, I’m sure we’re all experiencing some of that personally.
I pray everybody is doing well. I’m hanging in there, had a very long, interesting day. As the full time, domestic engineer of my household, I schedule, question, advocate, email, go between, care and nurture my children and my husband. My husband, who’s battling an aggressive type of thyroid cancer, has had his surgery and now we’ve been scheduling and questioning the powers that be regarding his radiation treatment. Add to that, this domestic engineer also does it while battling her own invisible illnesses. Again, I’ll be posting more on that in the near future.
Prayers and blessings to you all. Have a great night and I’ll be back tomorrow. 😊🤗
Good afternoon. Since I was last here, I’ve celebrated both my birthday and ten year wedding anniversary. 🥰🥰 I’ve journaled some new goals to attempt to have in place by Friday May 1st. First one is to have a better schedule for here weekly, to get in more reading, writing, journaling, Bible study/journaling and crafting.
I pray everybody is well, and have a wonderful rest of your Sunday.
Good evening/almost morning all. This week has been exciting to say the least. Between getting things scheduled and straightened out for hubby’s appointments, our house, etc, phew, thank you Jesus you’ve gotten me thru another week.
Spent the morning at home, having church, getting cleaned up to have lunch at Mom’s. Went and spent a bit of time in the cemetery where my father in law and hubby’s grandparents and other family members are buried and really got to thinking, I was starting to realize when I was in my teens, but more so since having my kids, and now and upcoming grandbaby. Realization set in, I didn’t get a chance while raising my children, to put together anything of our family history to save for my kids, even though now, none of them are to that point of acknowledging how many things changed over the years, things that our elders still remember, thankfully, things I pray, that my grandchildren will wonder and be curious to know.
I then thought, that through all my planners, calenders, and journals, I’m trying to leave enough for my kids and grandbabies, to learn about or world, our life when we were younger, when their parents were growing up, to the best of my ability.
I’m needing to get to sleep, so I will leave saying this, as your around family, friends, etc, during this covid-19/Coronavirus pandemic and quarantine, as the ones your around start telling you about things that they lived through in their teens, twenties, thirties, etc, remember it, journal it, keepsake it. You never realize how much you may at a later date, want to reminisce or pass on to your grands, or even great grands.
I pray blessings over you all tonight. Will be back to chat later. 🥰🙏
Good morning/afternoon all. I’m praying everyone is having an awesome day. It is 30°here in Michigan and snowy. Hmm, add to that my normal routine is very messed up, well, not messed up, just changed. I don’t do change very well, so I’m thanking God to help me through this.
I hope everybody is taking advantage of their current stay home order, wherever you are, and in whatever way you’re able/considering taking advantage of it. I’m unlike lots of people with children, teens mainly. My teens are 16yrs old and 14 1/2yrs old. They’re at that stage where, they come hang out with Mom when they want to, or when they are bored. It bothers lots of parents that have children, to have them home, all the time. Not me, they do their schoolwork, and they’re chores, help me out with stuff when I’m not able to, and they slip into their Chromebooks and books.
That’s how I take advantage of this craziness, I enjoy my kids as much as I can now, giving them freedom to be they’re own person, intruding when we as parents see fit, and be as attentive as I can, as often as I can so they know they can always come to me with anything. Whether they truly do or not is totally up to them.
It’s just shy of noon here in my Eastern Time zone, I’m gonna go, leaving with everyone the words above as an opening for anybody who needs to, chat, vent, etc. Have a blessed day. 😊🙏
