God Is


The thing about being diagnosed with MS; I don't have to go off of someone else's testimony. I know God for myself. I know that He's a Way maker. I know that He's a Shield.  I know that He's a Provider. I know that He's a Healer. I know He's a Protector. He is a Wonderful Counselor. I know that He is the Alpha & Omega. God is Good. God is Real. God is Love. God is my Light in this web of chronic disease of MS.  God is Able. God is my Father, my Friend, God is my Husband.  God is my Joy. God is my Strength. My God is my Today & Tomorrow.  God is a Promise Keeper; He never come short of His Word. God is my all and all! Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” Luke 18:27

    The story about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego (Daniel 3:16-18), reveals to us what steadfastness and courage can do. Their story serves as an encouragement to those of us who try our best to stand in the face of adversity, pain and disappointment. Through faith we as believers put our trust in Jesus. Jesus may not keep us out of the fire, but get into the fire with us. Once its all said and done, we won’t look like what we’re going through. “Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.”

    “You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.” 2 Chronicles 20:17

Words

I believe in the power of words. I was asked, if I say that I don’t have MS then why do I take the medicine?   Several answers to that question. I   don’t say it because:   (1)   I don’t want to be moved by my circumstances (2) I can’t ask God to bless me & then tell Him how (3) As I said, I believe in the power of words (4) I BELIEVE WHAT God says about me. Jesus said, Ruth, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”   Luke 17:19 then He said, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”   Psalm 139:14 Regarding the power of my words, God said ,” Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”   Proverbs 18:21.   In my own words, I BELIEVE WHAT I SAY & SAY WHAT I BELIEVE!   I don’t go by what I see. It’s already done. “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are y...

COMFORT

 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty     instead of ashes, the oil of joy     instead of mourning, and a garment of praise     instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness,     a planting of the Lord     for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:3

Why?

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!

Don't Go There

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...

My Story

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...

Thought Of The Day

Set your heart on doing the Will of God and you will be instantly free .   “No weapon formed against you shall prosper” Isaiah 54:17. There is no better or safer place than to be in God’s Will. Genesis 1:26 God made us in His image. We have the ability to reflect His character in our love, patience, forgiveness, kindness and faithfulness. Luke 18:35 No matter how desperate your situation may seem, if you call out to Jesus in faith, He will help you. Psa lm 37:4 “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” 2nd Thessalonians 3:16 “ M ay the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times in every way”. “The Lord be with you all”.

Thank You

Quite naturally, I blog about myself.   In doing so, I failed to say thank you. Thank you to my best friend, lover, care taker, my husband. THANK YOU!   It gets no better than this. Through it all, we been through so much with MS; there were times when I was afraid and you stayed right by my side. You know me so well it seems that you know when I need a little of this or that. Life as I knew it has really changed since the diagnoses of MS and I want to be forever mindful of how you take care of me.   For that I say, THANK YOU!   With the outpouring of love, you have made the everyday challenges of MS a little easier. For that, THANK YOU! Most of all, I thank Jesus because without Him, I can do nothing.   I thank the Lord for touching your heart on my behalf.   Lord, I Thank You... A Christian husband loves God more then he loves his wife and loves his wife more than he loves himself. “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and...

Think About It

Image
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 ...
