Once again I'm borrowing a post from the past, BUT it was VERY APPROPRIATE for the happenings of this past week that I felt led to share it once again, and besides there was NO WAY I could write a new post! In this post you'll be reading about a doctor's appointment which took place well

Post Postponed, But Please Join Me Next Week!
Hey there my special friends! I was smack dab in the middle of writing today's post, but got interrupted with a super-duper flare up of my chronic illness. I'm in the midst of some major full-blown vertigo attacks which end up putting me completely out of commission until things settle down. I praise God for
Looking Back to Look Ahead!
This is a repost from a post which was published last year, with a few changes sprinkled throughout here and there. I NEEDED to republish this particular post for myself. To help remind me just how far the Lord has brought me in my journey with chronic illness, and in doing so, I pray it will
As A Lion Seeking Whom He May Devour
Have you ever gotten to the end of a day and thought, "Wow, instead of jumping out of bed this morning, I should have just rolled over, pulled the covers up way over my head, and never moved a muscle?" Wanting to go back, redo the entire day and begin it by taking the solemn
The Best Medicine For A Weary Heart!
The symptoms of my chronic illness can be likened to riding a roller coaster, in more ways than one! One day I can find myself at the tippy-top of those tracks enjoying the view, and the next day, or even the next minute, I'm flying down those same tracks at what seems faster than the

The other evening I wanted to open the card program that I use to make the greeting cards which bring me so much joy in making and sending to others! But my heart quickly took a dive when I realized I was unable to open the program on my computer. This was the first time
A Video Testimony Of The Lord’s Faithfulness To Me!
Back in June, our Pastor, Travis Lane, did a series of messages entitled, "Real People, Real Faith, Real Impact". Each Sunday morning and each Sunday evening throughout the month of June, excluding Father's Day, a different person from the congregation would be featured in a video. They would speak of the faithfulness which the Lord
When Chronic Illness Invades Your Marriage
This coming Sunday, August 13th, Brian and I will celebrate our thirty-fourth wedding anniversary! It honestly does not feel like it's been thirty-four years already! Where has the time gone? I can still picture us standing in Brian's parent's backyard with only the best man and matron of honor in our wedding party with about
