LOVE..........
My prayer today is, Lord help me to love everybody! "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love ." 1st John 4:7-8 "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." 1st John 4:16
MS & CHRONIC PAIN!
Change
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. ...
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...
SMALL TRIUMPHS & FRIENDS
I have a childhood friend and with the good, bad & ugly in life she is always there for me. Point being, I had a short stay in the hospital & when I was released, I text her to thank her for her generosity. I received a response from her that really lifted my spirits. In respecting her privacy, I'll share some of what was said without using her name. Hey Ruth no need to thank me for anything. What I know and dont take for granted is we are Friends & Sister till the end. Yes we get lost in time and in our everyday lives but I will ALWAYS be there for you. Im only a phone call or text away. Dont ever forget that.
Be Still!
One of the hardest things about being diagnosed with MS is learning to live with it. Honestly, I don’t think I have learned. I did learn that one of the first things that you must master is managing. That is learn to manage time, energy, memory, limitations, space. I probably forgot somethings but what I’m saying is, you start to look at people, places, and things differently. What use to be important now all of a sudden it is what it is. In other words, you start to put things in its perspective place. I can’t tell you what perspective is for you because when it comes to MS, it deals with each of us differently. I like to call it a personal disease. I was going to write some other things but as I sit here thinking about MS, I can hear God saying Ruth be thankful in all things. “ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. ” 1 st Thessalonians 5:18 However; through it all, I don’t complain about ...
Pursue Peace!
I write as God gives it to me. To the naked eye there is no rhyme or reason to it all. Look with your spiritual eye. My plan is to write about MS, experiencing it personally along with some of the daily challenges. I guess that will come into play occasionally but today; He gave me this: I was listening to a pastor this morning and he said something very powerful. He said in Ephesians 4:30 where God says, “ Do Not Grieve the Spirit ”. We always refer that to something super natural, but when we miss treat our family, we are grieving the Holy Spirit. We are grieving Him when we don’t speak to one another because the power of unity in the Holy Spirit cannot/will not flow unless we get rid of all the hypocrisy. “ He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me ” Mark 7:6-7 Our rel...
Itchy & Scratchy
MS Itch has me feeling like I'm in "The Itchy & Scratchy Show". MS is Itchy & I'm Scratchy! I was reading this article about the MS itch. I don't know what site I was on. My point is, I would not call it an itch. My experience is, it feels more like a burning sensation. So uncomfortable that it feels as if someone is holding a match to my skin. Yes, I scratch because it's bothersome and I want the feeling to go away. I only get this feeling in my legs and feet. One day I felt so uncomfortable that I told myself I was going to cut my legs off & call myself shorty. 😊 I have to make lite of it all because I do not want to be moved by my circumstances. I do have some relief; I use medicated cream. The cream helps for about 6-8 hours or so. “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.” Psalm 34:7...
Not That much
I hà ven’t blogged in a bit because I haven't had much to say. I haven't read much about MS worth sharing. Eating healthy is half of the battle with a MS diagnosis. I discovered five important benefits in eating healthy: Increase of cognitive behavior, sleep all night, mobility, lower A1C levels, increase energy. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1st Corinthians 3:16-17
