Ruth, this is a good example of your faith and Spiritual well being. Faith is defined as belief with strong conviction; Believing is not exactly the same as faith. For belief to be faith, it must rely on what is certainly true. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 1:11. There's no time for evidence collection, to wait, to hear, for certainty. Just keep walking in your faith and Jesus will manifest himself in your situation.
As I said earlier, I felt stuck because heat & MS don't mix. Which leaves me in the house wishing that I was in a room without a roof. In other words, I wanted to go outside to get some air & a little sun. I had the opportunity to go out and I enjoyed myself. Oh, the heat wasn't to bad either. Point being is, I went shopping, well, window shopping 😄. While in the store looking at the clothes and noticing how people were dressed around me, I thought I need some new clothes or shorten it up a little bit. While I was thinking about new clothes, God said, Ruth, " Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands."...
A Note To My Husband: I never knew love until I met God & then He introduced me to an extraordinary man. A man that loves God more then he loves me and love me more then he loves himself. In the beginning, I was unsure of what I was looking at. It was like walking around with blinders on trying to find a peek of sunshine. Through my relationship with God and the studying of His Word, I learned, that man, my husband, caretaker was showing nothing but patience and adoration over 32 years. T o be a caretaker of any one with a chronic disease must be a huge task. To be the husband of a woman that is diagnosed with MS, the task got to be even larger. Sometime I don’t show it, but every day, I’m thankful. Those are some big shoes to fill because I don’t know if I could do the things you do as a caretaker. You have altered your entire life to care for me daily. The love that you show shines bright enough to allow ...
Timeline speaks about PPMS & exercises that can be done to increase cognitive behavior skills. However as I said before, I feel that disease is disease. MS or something else. The activities that are suggested: Stay act ive Get adequate sleep Play memory games Write Play puzzle/problem solving activities Get organized Read daily Check medications Counseling Timeline also says that lifestyle choices have big effect on a person’s condition. I try to do all activities that’s suggested. · I’m not as active as I would like to be. If you have a disease that effects your mobility, how active can one be? · Sleep-YES · Every day I play games and/or use my problem solving skills. · Write-I try to blog every day, but I can’t write with a pen/pencil. Handshaking make for bad penmanship. ...
I was sitting with my husband trying to get his attention & I just happen to look up at his computer screen, it read a little something like; what do you think? With God on our side, we can’t lose. Immediately; Jesus brought two scriptures to my attention which were: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, [ neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8-38:39. “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord , And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord . Isaiah 54:17. The part that stuck out was “No weapon”. In my words, the weapon might form, but it won’t work. In this case the weapon is M...
I don’t know if lack of appetite is an MS symptom but I experience it sporadically. I love to eat; that is what I do. Lately I have no desire to eat anything. Everything taste horrible. With not eating comes nausea. It’s like morning sickness when passed the child bearing age. I drink plenty of water and juice to avoid dehydration. My husband tells me to try and force myself to eat; however if I do; everything will end up on the floor. If I don’t lose the food, but don’t eat it all, well, I don’t like left overs. I don’t want to waste food so I don’t bother unless I know that I know. Lately, I DON’T KNOW if I’ll eat it or not. I might get it in my mouth but I can’t chew or swallow it. This is really becoming a problem for two reasons: I don’t like taking medication on an empty stomach and I’ll be the first to stand and say that when I don’t eat; I’m very moody. It’s kind of ironic because I can’t find any information on the subject. This is ano...
I was reading a blog on MS.net titled MS and Jealously. The blogger talked about sometime being jealous of family, friends, and strangers because they are doing the things that he once did. However, we all know that once diagnosed things change. Life as you once knew it is of the past. He also warned that the anger can turn into depression. MS makes me feel like I am fighting for my life. I also came to the conclusion that, I’m not created to be like everyone else. With or without MS, I’m different and will stand out in a crowd. I can’t say much about what I read in the blog because MS has not touched my life in the way that he wrote about. With that being said, I will be extremely careful and extremely aware about what I allow in my mind to think about and what I choose to dwell on. God says in Proverbs 3:27, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." God tells us what we should dwell on in Philippians 4:8. “Finally, brothers ...
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7- God also said, "My Joy I give you. Live in it. Bathe your Spirit in it. Dry your eyes and walk in it............
I am so glad that God doesn’t change. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”- Hebrews 13:8. As people we might change our mind, have second thoughts and some may even lie but GOD will remain the same. “ God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” Numbers 23:19. In my words, there is none like Him. Jesus gives me strength & power daily. “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline” 2 nd Timothy1:7. There is nobody like You Lord. Thank You for being my healer, provider, sustainer. ...
Do you ever feel like the MS symptoms stop you from being there? In other words, MS prevents you from doing and/or going the places that you would like to!
