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.
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. ...
I was watching the news in reference to the Government shutdown. This lady was on there crying because with no pay, her and her son will be homeless. Point being, it is a lesson in it for us all. In one way or the other we will be if not already effected. Lesson being, God is my Provider; it's all just stuff. God wants all of us to lean & depend upon Him. "For kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 1st Timothy 2:2-4
March is MS awareness month. #Go Orange As I celebrate March, I noticed my stability is decreasing. It is becoming more of an effort to walk. I also noticed my speech becoming more slurred. In feeling all this; God spoke to me & said, "what, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31
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. ...
In the midst of doing research, I found an article about using sleep deprivation for severe depression. It stated that sleep deprivation has a total opposite effect in healthy people then those with depression. The article said if you are healthy and don’t sleep, you develop an attitude but if you are depressed, it can improve your mood/cognitive behavior. I had to share for a couple of reasons: I thought it was funny because if I read in to it, “I’m healthy & I’m not depressed”. Because when I’m tired or sleepy; I quickly get an attitude and I’m going to sleep. Depression is a part of MS. My opinion is that, we will all deal with it in one way or the other. This is all my perception of the article. Check it out at Healthline . “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety”. Psalm 4:8 on WebMD , studies show, it’s possible that vitamin D can ease MS symptoms. Researchers find that those with high...
There was spring like weather for a couple of days, I tried going out. I was glad to put on a spring outfit & no coat. Well, I was in for a rude awakening because I was miserable. It was hot! Heat may cause a worsening of MS symptoms. I think temperature sensitivity is something that is common in all MS patients. I wa s, well, the best way for me to describe it is, I felt some kind of way. At the time, I was visiting family and to hide how I was feeling, I sat on the couch and went to sleep. I didn't want to try & explain to family nor did I want to alarm my husband about how I felt. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
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 ...
