Ever made a promise you couldn't keep? or WOULDN'T keep?
What was your reason? Fear, hurt.....fear of being hurt....
At first, I wanted to run to my friends. Now, I find myself wanting to run away.
I'm fighting confusion and fatigue at the moment.
There.....just being honest.....at least that's one promise, I've kept.
For whatever that's worth, if you can relate.
How can someone you've known for less than a year, impact your heart so deep?
Why do people die in their prime instead of growing old?
Aundrea Lynne Smith You will be missed more than you realized.
Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.
I am among the living. Still not back to work full-time yet. Fevers, weakness, fatigue, etc...but God is good. He's given me strength.
Got a call from the Urologist in Harrison. Norman has prostate cancer now. The doctor will tell him (with me there) on Thursday. Eric is going to drive me up for the appointment. I don't think he will "fall-apart" when he gets the news. You just have to know Norman to understand what I mean.
More later. Strength is gone again.
Just when you thought that was it......
I went back to the doctor today. The fatigue and pain were getting worse, skin color was worse, urine color was terrible, etc....so anyway, blood test show that it's my spleen not filtering correctly, which also affects the kidneys, etc....but the topper......I have Acute Mono. Treatment? Rest and fluids. Antibiotics are useless for that part of it, and I finished the antibiotics for the strep.
Hope you're still praying, and hope all is going well for you.
I missed all of last week of work. Went back yesterday, but only lasted til Noon. Couldn't go today.
My throat is getting better. Oral antibiotics, shot, and of course lots of prayers. Just need to get my strength back.
I'm suppose to go to Oklahoma and speak at a Women's Retreat this weekend. I know God will have me ready in time.
Hope you all are well, and hope to have a better update soon. Thanks for all the prayers and support. Love ya!
Okay, my health is worse. I did go to the doctor. He said I have strep and separate infections of the ears and vocal chords. Started on the meds on Tuesday.....didn't get any better, instead, I got worse. So, he's changing the meds, and hoping to keep me out of the hospital. Please pray!!!
Next thing, my husband's oldest brother, fell in his shower and died. He lived in Illinois. They did an autopsy, and it showed a brain aneurysm. They weren't sure if he fell, then had the aneurysm, or if he had the aneurysm, then fell. Either way, it's sad. Eric and I couldn't go to the funeral.
On top of that, my sister's husband is graduating this weekend from Tech. The whole family is suppose to be at MY HOUSE to get ready for the graduation and everything. Do you have any IDEA how BAD my house looks right now???? I'm sick on top of sick about it. I've not been able to go grocery shopping or anything else for that matter either. UGH!!!
I want to cry, but if I do, I'll just chock. Sorry I don't have better news right now.
I'm sure things will turn around soon.
I was SOOOO looking forward to church tomorrow. Now, I'm stuck at home with what appears to be Strep Throat! Please pray. I'm a wimp, right now, and miserable.
Yep, it's Thursday, but Sunday's coming.
Lots going on right now, but I hope to give a better update this weekend.
Highlights:
Like I said, better update later.
Love ya'll!
No matter the storm, God is still ~ the one, the only ~ God.
Perhaps these words will help remind us all:
"Yes there’ve been days when I’ve failed you.
Lord you know the many times I’ve gone astray.
But I’ve learned your love is stronger than my weakness,
And your ear is open every time I pray.
No one else has ever cared for me like you Lord.
Other friends could never be as close to me.
I’m not afraid to face the problems of tomorrow,
Knowing you are everything I’ll ever need."
"I'm amazed that you love me. I'm amazed how you care.
Through your precious blood I've found pardon,
And my sins are washed - they're all washed away,
All my sins are washed away!"
We all have storms, various kinds of storms, each of us. I'm just so thankful that we have each other during these storms. His love for us is amazing, isn't it?
You all are dear to me. I just wanted to let you know, lest you forget how special you are.
Be Blessed!
I had an interesting visit with someone the other day. Now, keep in mind, I grew up in Arkansas. I'm quite the "hillbilly" inside. Anyway, I was sharing about when Eric and I lived in Harrison. We didn't have a big farm, just a few rabbits, chickens, and a garden. This poor lady began gagging in front of me! At first, I thought she was just joking, so I laughed.......folks, she wasn't kidding. Come to find out, she gets sick when she passes a chicken house, roadkill, or even hears the word "gut". She said that it was because she grew up in the North and had always lived in the city. I felt horrible, and I didn't even tell her anything really, no details. Bless her heart.
So, those of you with weak constitution, turn away now, cuz here's some stories on how redneck I am.
1 - When Eric and I were first married, we were very poor. We had 4 dogs, no money, and a pound of ground beef left....nothing else. So, he fed the dogs the ground meat, and he and I went squirrel hunting. Now, how redneck is that!!!
2 - Another time, before I was on the cane, I had driven up the road a piece (about 1/4 of a mile) and accidently hit a wild rabbit. Well, not wanting anything to go to waste, I promptly
Eric absolutely loves telling that story on me. Except he tells it that I fixed road-kill for supper. It was a dirt road! Does that count as road kill? I don't call it that. I call it, hunting game (rabbit) with a deadly weapon (car).
3 - When Eric and I lived in Harrison, and I was on a cane, I happened to notice a squirrel at the end of our front yard. So, I
I didn't want the boys to be embarrassed by their Mom out there skinnin' squirrel. I was so proud to get it done before they got off the bus. Hillbilly at heart!
Now, back to the present!
Prom is this weekend, and guess who will be helping chaperon? Yep, me, Miss Redneck! I'm wearing an old Easter dress (non-formal). Eric will stay home and have a fun night with the boys. The after-prom shindig ends at 5:00AM. Yes, 5:00AM! Then I come home, shower, take a short nap, then get ready for church. Yippee. Can't you just feel my enthusiasm? Say extra prayers this weekend.
Eric took the boys fishing this evening. Poor things caught.....tree-bass, LOL!
