And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" Isaiah 53:1

I had to share this because I'm sure we all felt this &
besides it was funny. Laugher is good for the soul. If you don't
find something to laugh at, you might cry. At least I will.
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 ...
I had a great time at lunch yesterday with a group of friends. I feel really blessed to be a part of a MS support group. There is a lot of wisdom in the room; along with good people. It is an honor and privilege to talk to people that are traveling the same road that I'm on. “Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.” Ezra 10:4 I was reading Healthline and 12 foods were listed for being high in vitamin B12. After looking at the list, my first thought was OMG. I know I might have a deficiency because out of the items listed, I probably eat two things. The foods are as follows: Organ meats, clams, sardines, beef, fortified cereal, tuna, fortified nutritional yeast, trout, salmon, fortified nondairy milk, eggs, milk & dairy products. BE BLESSED!
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!
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
Early in the diagnosis of MS a friend told me that she was having a problem with button up shirts and I didn't understand so I just listened to her story. My point is, today, I GET IT! It takes me 30 minutes to button my shirt; 45 or so just to zipen my coat. I can't be that person that says, I can't do it. I have to try!
Sometimes I just have to encourage myself. MS is rough, frequently I've had some bad days, but I am going to be alright. I might bend, but I wont break and I am ok, because I got faith. I know that there is a blessing after every trial. I know that God made me strong for a reason so when MS gets heavy I encourage myself. I am alright, I am ok, I am going to make it. Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise." ~ Jeremiah 17:14
I read this interesting article on Everyday Health that made a good point about germs & assistive devices. I don’t leave home without my cane and probably have dropped it a thousand times. I found the article interesting because I never gave it much thought. It’s ironic that I didn’t because with MS & the immune system being suppressed, I like everything clean. I laugh at myself because I say that I must have the cleanest hands in town with perpetually washing my hands. I don’t touch public door knobs. That’s to name a couple of things; with most things one might say I’m over the top. Here is the kicker, I worked in a clinic. Work was a constant battle with cleanliness. God says, “I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord. When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them. I will reward them with long life; I will save them...
After a few years of the MS diagnoses, I’m unable to write. If I do write, it is illegible. MS has affected my hands. To have the ability to blog is truly a blessing. Lord, I can’t live without You. I can’t talk without You. I can’t walk without You. I can’t move without You, Lord. “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” Psalm 34:8 The Lord Jesus Christ showed up today at my house, well, He never really left. Point being is, God confirmed two things for me: Isaiah 55:11 “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” The second thing that God clearly stated is, “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.” Acts 18:9 Shout out to “Multiple Sclerosis.net” for the publishing of my blog listed below entitled “Truth Is” I was diagnosed with MS in 2015. I don’t always f...
Sitting here looking back over my life brings tears to my eyes to see God working in my life. The Lord is good to me. He went as far as giving His only Son . “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 Thank you, Jesus for waking me up this morning, putting food in my kitchen and clothes on my back. You are good to me. I thank You for the good & bad times including MS because all of it is making, molding and shaping me into the woman that You created me to be. Lord, You are good to me. MS is a nasty disease. One of the good things is, I’m a better woman for it. I feel more ameliorated then yesterday with strength to make it through the day. Lord, You are good to me. B ecause of MS, my ability to walk is becoming a struggle within itself and sometimes I try to lean on my own understanding to stay in control; howe...
