OK

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

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...

Testimony Tuesday

I’m losing weight. Not sure how many pounds but I feel myself thinning out.   I don’t know if it’s Tysabri, MS or the preventive medication that combats one of the side effects of Tysabri.   My appetite has really decreased.   I remember my mom saying that it’s ok to gain a few pounds so that if you get sick and lose a couple of pounds; everything will blend in.   Well, here I go. Speaking of losing weight; I read a fantastic article in  Healthline.com on easing MS symptoms with exercise.   Seven were mentioned; I might try at least five. T here is nothing like feeling & looking good. I’m going to enjoy the spring/summer.   Winter was brutal!   Should I say IS brutal cause winter isn’t gone yet. I give thanks to God because He is God all by Himself; He don’t need no help.   I thank Him for His Grace & Mercy.   I thank God for providing for and protecting me daily. GOD IS GOOD! “Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my ...

It's Hot In Here!

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

Nobody Can Be a Better Me Than Me

It is time to get in motion.   I start an exercise program in a couple of days.   To improve my balance & strength, the doctor suggested that I attend PT.   I have decided to attend the Yes U Can program. ( Read more @ yesucanusa.org )   The program is designed to offer fitness support to adults with limited mobility.   Personally I think it’s great for those battling MS and there is no fee for this program. An update will come later after I attend a couple of sessions and get into the swing of things. There are certain things that God created just for me to do.   No one look like me, no one has the same finger print as I because God created it just for me.   In other words, I’m different, unique. “Indeed , the very hairs of your head are all numbered”.   Luke 12:7.   The bible clearly states that God has a plan for my life.   “ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, p...

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

Good

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...

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...

Speak Now Forever Hold Your Peace

Being diagnosed with MS makes one reflect on life.   I’ve learned to thank God for the small triumphs.   I stop taking things for granted.   Case and point, three words came to my mind, red, purple & blue.   I thank God for speech.   Lord, I thank You! Red represents power and courage Purple is often associated with royalty          Blue represents loyalty Colors tel l a story . Words are not just sounds. Our words have real power. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue,” Proverbs 18:21. God spoke the world into existence by the power of His word. “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,” Hebrews 11:3. Words do more than provide information. The power of our words can destroy or build up one’s spirit. “The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit” Proverbs 15:4. With all the creatures on this earth, man is the only one that has the ability to c...
