Good afternoon all, I know I’ve been a bit Mia. I’ve been dealing with some health issues, yeah, those invisible illnesses that nobody knows what to do cuz they can’t see them. My tentative plan this week, is to get in a lot of reading and writing. But for the moment, I’m gonna be sharing some things and helping to promote. First off, sharing the link for our church service this morning , The YouTube link below,I highly recommend watching, it’s good.

The second thing I’m sharing, is a link to my review from an eArc I was sent. Stupid technology, here’s a screenshot of my review.

And last, but not least, here is some photos for a book one of my author friend has written and for today only, it’s free on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Into-Woods-Pam-Funke-ebook/dp/B0876GRV4P/. I pray you all are doing good, healthy, quarantine not getting you down to much. Have an awesome rest of your Sunday. 🤗🙏 Bye

Good morning everyone. I’m back for a great last week of July, wow that sounds strange when ya say it out loud. 😮😮 I’m praying everyone had a great weekend. My weekend was pretty good. My head screamed all weekend, sometimes even despite all the meds taken to help drowned it out. I’m needing to go back to my diet that my functional medicine specialist gave me over a year ago. As long as I follow it the way I should be, my guts don’t have as much of an issue during the day and at night.

I’ve again, shared this morning devotional that I watch/listen to in the morning, or whenever I feel I need something to get and keep me on track, that I don’t necessarily have time to open a Bible or Bible app. Which, in case anybody is wondering what I use,I use Youversion Bible app. It can be downloaded, or rather, different versions can be downloaded for offline use, you have access to many different versions of the Bible. It also has many, many, many different Bible plans to choose from. I love it.

I will pop back in here today and let you know if I accomplished my goals of getting thru at least two books, and reviewing them. Have a fabulous day folks, safe travels, prayers and blessings to your day. 🤗

Good Saturday morning, I pray and hope that everything and everyone is having an awesome day. It is sunny and getting warm here in West Michigan.

I just wanted to pop in and touch base with everybody and share what I’m listening to today, at least this morning anyhow. Have a wonderful day folks.🤗🙏

Good afternoon folks, I pray all of you are doing well. Me, I’m here, I’m alive and kickin, vocally anyway. Hubby got home last night from work, with very scheduling pleasant news-he’s not working today or tomorrow and he’s going fishing!! My response-🙏🤗. Thank you Jesus, two days off.

I had P.T. This afternoon while the family got stuff prepared to go fishing. I hurt now more than I did when I got there, but, sadly that’s prior for the course for somebody with chronic pain/chronic illnesses. Neither here nor there, I do have a couple things to post here, that, hopefully all who are pretty sick of quarantine days and covid-19 as I am.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3098151736906976&id=100001365416784. I pray you all have a wonderful rest of your day and an awesome weekend, me, I’ll be relaxing, reading and writing, with tentatively, no hospital/ER trips. 🤗

Good afternoon, it’s me again and I just wanted to share another devotional that really spoke to me. I hope everyone is doing well.

I’m trying to take it easy today, but it’s not working so well. If you haven’t already seen my post from Weds, I had to have a CT with contrast yesterday morning, which was fine, even thought I ended up with two i.v.’s and then my stress echo, done with meds instead of actually being on the treadmill. Oh wow, that sucked and it really hurt.

Ok, I’m off again, to try getting some reading in and to finish my laundry. Later folks.

Happy Thursday morning everybody. I just got done watching this video and I’m leaving the link here for anybody who may want to watch it/listen to, it’s an eye opener, especially if you’ve been going through the motions of the day. I know for me personally, this is definitely something I’ll be listening to, and maybe even sharing here, if not for anybody else here to do, for myself to do and obey God and start reinstilling this into my family’s daily habit.

This was my first thing this morning’s to do, I’ve already been awake off and on since apparently shutting my alarm off at 2:40 this morning, but I’ve gotten hubby out the door, albeit a tad late, started laundry.

I’m off to continue laundry and get some reading in. I’ve got a few e Arc’s to get read in the next few days and some library books to attend to. I’ll try getting on a bit later today to update on how much reading I actually accomplished. Have a blessed day all.

Good morning lovely people. Here in Michigan, at least where I’m at, it is in between raining and clear. I’ve had one test done today, in waiting on the other. Invisible, chronic illnesses are not for the faint of heart.

I’ve dealt with invisible chronic illnesses for a long time and they suck. Today, I’m special, I’m blessed with having two i.v.’s. I just wanted to jump in, say hello, I’m still alive and kicking and to share something today that has already been comfort to my family.

Pray Confidently to God

King David faced difficulties and was threatened by many wicked oppressors. Without help and hope in the situation, David turned to God and prayed “But You, O Lord…” He used “But” to turn the hopeless situation to hope, from helplessness to confidence because he knew God is greater than his problem. David prayed confidently that God is his shield to protect him and God is his provider to give him glory. When David has no one to lift him up, God encourages him.

Prayer: Father Lord, we declare that you are our shield and our provider. In all circumstances we are facing, Holy Spirit, help build up our sense of security in You alone. In Jesus’ Name 

One hour before my other test, two i.v.’s that are tender. I’ll update again later. Have a blessed day today.

Good afternoon folks, I’m back for a how my week was. My week went alright, last Saturday, we had come back from a pretty good weekend in Cadillac, MI, a really nice campground. We had friends up there and we hung out, destressed, and overall, enjoyed ourselves.

Last Sunday we hung out at home, watched our church service online, recouped from vacation. 🤣 Monday, I had a phone appt with my gastro Dr, I had to make sure that I got his attention, when I explained that, I’m tired of all these “unexplainable” pains and whatnot in my guts and under my ribcage. Drs do not like it when you put your feet down and explain, I’m not gonna keep doing this, test here, oh everything was negative, so, I’m not exactly sure what else to do. Some Drs may even ask you, well, what would you like us to do, or, what do you want me to do? Well, instead of half assing your job, buck the system, think or go outside of the little box the government doesn’t want you to do, to find the root of the problem, if you don’t, you’ll have lost customers due to your inability or fear of getting in trouble.

I’m sorry guys, ranting was not on my agenda, however, it apparently is meant for you to hear. Tuesday,I had nothing going on, I finished two books, I just need to get them up here, Wednesday, I had a follow up with the PA in my Drs office (primary Dr). She asked about how my two blood pressure meds were working, one is a water pill that helps aid the blood pressure. I explained, umm, well, the water pill doesn’t seem to be working at all, the actual blood pressure pill seems like it’s helping to keep my BP down. But there’s still swelling in my legs, I understand being heavy and it bothering your joints to squat or walk or kneel down, but when I do them, it straight up hurts, which means, there’s still swelling. I’ve also had an 8lb weight gain since last being seen a few weeks ago. Because of all that, they drew blood, the same evening, they called to let me know, that my one blood test called the d-dimer, something I had never heard of till now, was elevated, meaning, I’m now scheduled for a CT with contrast dye, to rule out blood clots somewhere in my heart. I’ll be having an echo test for my heart shortly after that. Along with other tests my gastro will be having done, to hopefully rule out, cancer, or other serious issues with my pancreas, liver, intestines. Like having chronic pancreatitis, fatty liver disease, and NASH/NAFLD wasn’t bad enough.

Alright, I’ll stop venting. Have a great rest of your weekend, prayers and blessings to you all, and feel free, if anybody is dealing with invisible diseases or invisible illnesses that nobody can figure out, I’m here to listen, sympathize and pray.
