To bring you up where I am, I was diagnosed with MS in 2015. I must say that there is a link between MS & depression. Needless to say I was feeling some kind of way, but I’m so glad that I know Jesus. I had to remind myself that God promises to keep me in perfect peace if I keep my mind stayed on Him. “ You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3. With that being said, God brought to my mind several scriptures: Psalm 125:1 “ Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.” Isaiah 40:31 “ but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. He also said, “ But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord , whose confidence is in him.” Jeremiah 17:7. ...

Cold
I’ve had a cold for about 2-3 weeks. My legs feel heavy. It feels like a force against gravity putting one foot in front of the other trying to walk. I feel like I have what can be called the “Man Cold.” I’m coughing, sniffling, sneezing, and wheezing with a congested chest. With MS the medication of my choice suppresses my immune system which caused me to reschedule my next treatment. Through God’s grace the cold will be gone before my appointment. If I go too long without getting the MS treatment my body starts to do its own thing. Rest, fluids, vitamins, and food helps the MS cold; however I do not have an appetite so I eat little or nothing. Feeling this way really concerns me because with the symptoms could come an elevated body temperature which can lead to a pseudoexacerbation. Pseudoexacerbations of MS are flare-ups and is not a worsening of the disease. The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.” Psalm 41:3 ...
It's Already Done!
This is a ministering moment. A moment of encouragement. I do a lot of that. Whatever works for you; I suggest that you use it because MS can & will walk all over you. I was sitting here mediating on the Word of God. Not questioning Him, but wondering why me; MS & Tysabri invading my space. I’m not questioning God because I know none of this could happen without going through God’s hands first. If He allowed this to happen then He must have a plan cause I don’t have a clue. Outside of that, I could hear God say, you have to go through the fire but you won’t get burnt. He said I won’t pull you out of the fire but I will get into it with you. Read your bible @ Daniel 3 about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. God said, Ruth, I’ll be with you always. Matthew 28:20 “ teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. I read a devotion...
A Teaching Moment
The biggest mistake that people make or don’t realize is there is a mental aspect to MS. After three years, I believe, that is where some of us fail. With or without the disease, it can be complicated to grasp it all. As people, we get set in our ways & want to do things a certain way. Well, you better learn another way because MS sets out to ruin what you’re use to. In knowing about the mental aspect of MS, I have to constantly remind myself that God said, “ You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You” Isaiah 26:3. In my words, I fill my mind with God’s Word so that I have no room for whatever MS tries to throw at me. You have to define what mental means to you. MS affect us all differently. For those of you that don’t know; mental can be stressed, depressed, overwhelmed, brain fog, etc. Whatever it is there is no pill for this. You have to find what works for you. I think some people crash ...
ENCOURAGE YOURSELF!
Who Do You Belong To?
MY BODY BELONGS TO GOD! 1st Corinthians 6:19 " Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own." I'm the property of the most high God. He created my body ordained for His glory.
Joy
Remember when I told you that MS can & will walk over you? Well, here I go again; feeling like I’ve been walk on, up one side & down the other. In other words, I have been sick for about a week in a half. I’m just starting to feel normal, whatever that is. Today is the first day that I could get out of bed by myself. Basically, according to my husband, it was like I was a paraplegic. However, I decided that I’m not going to sit around feeling sorry for myself. I’m not going to have a “whoa it’s me” moment. I might be slower, I might have to do it a little different but I’m not going to succumb to MS. I’m not going to be sad, depressed or none of that because I’m a child of THE MOST HIGH GOD! I’m not telling you that everything is peaches & cream. I’m still dragging my left leg along. What I’m telling you is, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” Job 13:15. I have to. ...
Question?
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!
Help
I read Isaiah 41:13 today and I was blessed by what God said to me & I would like to share it with you. “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” With the heat, humidity outside today and the MS cold; these words take authority over the way I feel because I know that I have help and I do not have to fight this battle. All I have to do is stand still because He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 BE BLESSED!
