Livin' with Fibromyalgia

There is Hope! Why art thou cast down, O my Soul and why art though disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance . -   Psalms 42:5    Sometimes in life we are faced with challenges that are very hard to deal with.   Often times, you  may find  yourself, wondering  wh y is this happening to me?  Why am I suffering so much? Why all these trials? Lord, will I ever get a break?   As saints, we have to remember that are hope is in God.  He will leave your forsake you.   In any given situation that you are dealing with, you have to remember that God has not left you he is with you all the time!  When you are in the toughest times of your life, it may be very hard for to see passed what you are being faced with.   You have to keep the faith and trust God. One writer says,  “If  he bring you to it; He will carry you through it” Some of us may be dealing with the loss of lo ved ones, loss of good physical health , loss of relationships,  loss of

I have not been here for a while. There has been a lot going on since the last time as I have to try to balance my life and keep up with the hustle & bustle of my everyday duties which are influenced a great deal by the constant physical pain from the fibromyalgia.  I recently returned back to work. I feel that this was part of the plan for me. One day in July, I began to pray as well as write down the things I wanted and needed God to help me with. I needed direction as well as for him to go before me to help to work out the situations out for me. One of the things I needed the most attention was dealing with my financial situation.  For the most part, I had not really worked since my Surgery last year (sept. 2013). I really needed to know what to do in this situation. I prayed to God and decided to send my resume out resume out to a few places. Little did I know that the timing was so right.  It's so important to be in position to receive your blessing.  After turning in my r

It's been some time since I have been here...In the time that I was away not a lot has change...Everyday is still a press. I am determined not to quit even though there are times when I can not see pass the pain as it is so prevelant on a day to day basis. ( I am referring to the physical pain that goes along with the Fibromyalgia as well as the side effects from my surgery last September) I have not lost my faith in God because he has done so much for me...He still answers prayers and continues to show himself mighty by answering prayers.  I have not been able to work since the beginning of the year due to the increased demands of my job and my ongoing issues with pain and being so tired.. I have to admit that some days are discouraging but I know that brighter days are ahead and I take one day at a time. I went ahead and filed for my disability Social Security. I am not sure how all of this will go as it is a long journey trying to go through all the red tape ( procedures) that g

The last couple of weeks have been just a little trying. I have been to the several different doctor appointments as well as ER visits.  I have been having increased pain episodes as well as problems keeping my pressure under control... At my most recent ER visit, they gave me a new high blood pressure medication to help with managing the elevations in my pressure. I was also referred to one of the local heart doctors for additional testing to rule out any medical conditions with my heart.    I am reassured in my faith in God and realize that no matter what is going on that I have to trust God and know that he is in charge. I have been through so many things and he as not left me without a witness of his power and might. With each passing day, I am able to see him working on my behalf. Just in the simple things of getting up in the morning to having the ability to go and come without incident. By his grace, I am still here and for that I am most grateful! On last week, I started a new

How often do you laugh in a day?.....or do you laugh? Or do you just let the pressures of life  and your day to day situations get you down.... Did you know that it takes more muscles and energy to frown than it does to smile?  All writers look for inspiration when they write.   So on tonight, I have to give cordite for my subject due to two totally different situations. One was my lesson tonight in bible study lead by my Pastor that always gives us a word for our souls on on mid-week service.    He is totally led by the spirit of God and knows just what to say ... For that I am so greatful.. My other inspiration comes from a dear friend that I had a phone conversation with last night ....it was very uplifting and she also helped me with her positive attitude and wonderful spirit and she to listens to God and always know just what to say at the appropriate time.  It is good to surround yourself around spirit-filled people.  Everyone of us should just take a few minutes and just laugh..

2013 has come and gone...our family as been through many changes/challenges during this year but we never lost our "Hope"   We kept the faith and God kept us....although everything may not be in place as we desire or just how we want them to be: we must remember that God has the final say....Everyday I am gaining new strength through him to take the next step in living a victorious life....I am more than a conquer through him that gives a peace that surpasses all understanding... A few months ago, I had a major surgery and continue to struggle in my physical body, but with God all things are possible. On a day to day basis, I am able to get things done that I need to because of the strength that I get from him above...I appreciate God for always taking care of our family and giving us what we need.....  In the next few months, I am looking forward to better things to happen and will share the blessings of God with you to try to keep you encouraged as well as myself....
