Happy Sabbath,
I'm sleepy and want to take a nap. I'm thankful for a successful MRI appointment this week. I was recovering from the flu and trying not to choke out in the machine. I had some anxiety but reminded myself that I was safe and spent time praying though it. They gave me earplugs, music, and a warm blanket so that was helpful. I am thankful that God had me speak with a church sis who I didn't know but had her MRI the week before at the same facility. I was going to take a sedative but after speaking with her I decided against it. I was holding on to the pill even after the appointment and this morning decided to flush it down the toilet. I want to rely on the Lord to help me if I am feeling anxious, not take a benzo that people tend to get hooked on. I had no further use for it and I didn't want my child to get his hands on it.
I am thankful for the opportunity to go to church today. I am thankful that I am feeling better. I learned this morning that a church sis passed away about 2 weeks ago and her funeral was last week Thursday. I hope that the Lord continues to be with and comfort her family. She had come to my house on a few occasions to teach me Spanish and I was giving her piano lessons. I hope to see her on that great day when the Lord returns. She was a wonderful woman, godly, kind, opinionated, and a role model who encouraged me and I'm certain many others to stay on the path of righteousness.
Let us keep pressing towards the mark and never turn back. May you have a blessed Sabbath and successful new week to come!

Short and Sweet
Happy Sabbath
I'll keep it short today. Things I'm thankful for? A successful Global Youth Day at my church. We had so many churches come together at our church and it was a wonderful site to see the children lead out in service.
I am thankful for convenience being provided for scheduling a meeting that would have taken a really really long time. I'm thankful that it is virtual and I don't have to drive out there to sit for 3-4 hours and then fight traffic to get home.
I am thankful for extra money I was not expecting to come in the mail and for my job overall.
I am thankful for my family and last but least, thankful to God for blessing me this week and helping me to keep things together even when nonsense tried to creep in and throw me off.
God is good! Have a blessed Sabbath day :)

Health
Good afternoon and Happy Sabbath,
It's been a good week. God helped me to do well with my work meetings, provided food on my table and even encouraged my son to try something new. I was trying to fast for two days to see if I could encourage cellular repair and detox but I had to stop because I was getting symptoms (numbness, paralysis) of hypokalemia. Thankfully I had potassium and magnesium (M20) I could take to combat it. I don't know if a 24hr fast will help with my other issues (I am doing my best to avoid having to get surgery). My doctor recommended two types of surgeries that would put me down for six weeks. I can't do pain and I don't have enough PTO saved up. My mother said she would be with me if I go through it. I have huge fibroids and they have disrupted my life ever since turning 40. I want to see what I can do to shrink them before doing anything surgical.
Even as I go through all this, God is good and to always be praised. He has helped me through painful conditions in the past and I know He is with me.
I pray that my challenge is not that of 12 years, the woman who touched Jesus' garment. I know He can heal me and I give Him this issue.
I'm going to go play a Bible scrabble game with my son. He asked me and I am pleased that he is trying in this way. I hope that you have a wonder and blessed Sabbatg and weekend. :)

Surprise Pain and Surprise Payment
Good afternoon and Happy Sabbath,
I am thankful that this pain is easing up. Friday morning I awoke and my foot was hurting me. I have had pain like this before and it typically goes away after an hour but it continued through today and eased up during church service. I had considered not doing my part for the children as I would have to climb alot of stairs and go down long halls to get to set up the classrooms. I told a church sis that I thought it might be gout or rheumatoid arthritis. My mom has rheumatoid arthritis and I've seen her struggle over the years with her spine and joints, even leading to having to get a knee replacement. Ah, yes the joys of getting older.
Actually first my hand started hurting and that pain has continued. I started getting so worried as to think I needed to go get a tetanus shot but a quick search of my medical records showed I had my TDAP in late 2023. I forget where I accidentally stabbed myself with the keyring on 2/19. I thought it was my finger but it might have been my knuckle. I see a small mark where it could have been (my memory really is trash these days). I have been hurting really ever since. It's not swollen or appearing different from my other hand. It hurts to open bottles and it sore to the touch, even with gentle touch.
I'll keep watching it and if it gets worse I'll consider going to the ER. But I'm thankful my foot feels better because it was really tough. I'm a vegetarian and try to eat less processed foods. I had a bunch of habanero peppers in my meals and wonder if that aggravated anything. Today was women's day or prayer and world wide there is a move for all people to pray (Gather25). All I know was I was having a very tough time this morning and it went away during service and I am thankful.
I am thankful for the appointments I was able to do this week. I will follow up with my doctor to go over the results. I have a few large fibroid and an ovarian cyst that caused me turmoil from December into January. I was prescribed something but decided to not take it and instead increase my iron supplement and I noticed a difference. I'll continue doing this because the meds they prescribe are too expensive and I rather do things as naturally as possible. I have always said I can't take medicine to save my life and I surely don't want to pack on something else to my struggle routine that will be hard to be consistent with and may have nasty side effects.
A coworker in accounts/billing department reached out and informed me that there was a check that did not clear. First she said it was from September 2024 and then that later, it was from July 2024. Last year I didn't pay attention to those things..The money was pouring in from my other gig so I didn't worry about checks not posting or arriving because I was living with abundance and all thanks to the Lord. She asked me if I still had the check and of course I didn't. She reissued that check for me. I do need it and it is on time for my current challenges. I wasn't even looking for it but God has sent it my way.
I am thankful for the Lord's hand on my life. I am thankful for His healing power. I am thankful for His provisons and His protection.
God is good..Have a blessed day :)
