Pain can be a barrier to enjoying your life

Pain can be a barrier to enjoying your life: It's been a long time since I have blogged here. It's not that I didn't want to but I just couldn't seem to make the time for it. For the past couple years and a half, I have been dealing with my health worsening from one issue to the next. As time went on, I had to deal with constant pains and going to the doctor more regularly. Now, I am taking different medications and it seems that I have been getting more added to the list. I have to take medications every day and some of the meds I would have to take for the rest of my life. These pains were causing me anxiety and worry especially since the varied tests I had to do did not yield what exactly was causing them. I constantly prayed to God about what I was going through. Some days I was okay with it. Other times when the pains became very intolerable, I would feel helpless because I was becoming incapacitated in doing the things that we all take for granted. Things li...

Happy New Year 2017!

Happy New Year 2017!  Today is Sunday, 1st January, 2017. It is the first day of the New Year. Wow, where did 2016 go? I think that last year just flew by. I am not sure that I miss it though. I am looking forward to a new year and new beginnings. I pray that my relationship with the Lord would be one that is constantly growing. I pray for my fans who are still following me on Facebook. I've had some faithful ones from the very beginning of when I started the page. How blessed am I to have such dear friends! Though we do not know what tomorrow may bring, I plan to get more writing done. I have a few that are still in the draft process but with the worsening of my health this past year, I haven't done much as I would have liked to. So this year I will write more. I have made up my mind to do so and I pray that the Lord would give me good health and strength for it. I am also in the process of having another inspirational project getting started. I would not divulge too much ...

A blessed Christmas 2016!

Today is Sunday, 25th December 2016. The year has flown by. There have been a lot of changes in my life. A few of them not so good. My health has worsened somewhat and has reached to the point where I must take certain medications daily. I feel tired a lot and sometimes, it can be hard to focus or concentrate on certain activities. Nevertheless, I am so very blessed by many little things. The Lord has been so good to me. My hubby has always been my cheerleader, encouraging me and helping me in any way he can to make things easier for me. I cannot thank God enough for him. Our kids are doing well in life. We've been able to start working on little projects in our home. We were also able to have some bills paid off. I have had a few faithful fans who have been with me since early on. These here are just some examples of the gifts that we have been bestowed.  This special day, I just want to say thank you Jesus for choosing to be our Savior. You give us hope and redemption and ...

Thankful for all my followers

Image
It's been over three years since I have officially become a self-published author. It's been quite a journey. I have gained (and lost) some followers but there are those who have stood with me since the beginning. I am so glad for each and everyone. I know that I haven't posted much lately but I have been dealing with some health issues. It seems as if there is always something coming up. Sometimes, it is very hard to stay long at the computer without feeling some pain. Though that may be so, I really do enjoy being here. I am very thankful to God for His unending grace and mercy. I am blessed. I like to say that God is good- always. There are many blessings in every day and I try my best to remember them and thank Him for it. One of those blessings is you- my followers. You are what helps me to keep writing. You are what I see when I go to my page. Each and every one of you is important. You do make the difference in someone's life. I pray that the Good Lord continues ...

A price must be paid

Image
These past few months have been hectic with all sorts of commitments, errands and having some increasing health issues that were making me less productive in my work life. My vision problems and lack of time were making it even more difficult to do my best when I sit at the computer. I felt so tired and drained that my brains felt like mush. I felt as if I was walking in quicksand, sinking deeper and deeper the more I struggled to stay afloat. I always have my daily walks with the Lord but my flesh was stepping in and taking priority rather than the spirit. As a result I was listening more to my cries than to His help. Have you ever felt that way too? It's not the nicest feeling in the world, is it? Because I was dealing with health issues, I felt a lot of physical pains in various areas of my body. My work was suffering from not being able to do as much as I'd liked to. It was hard to sit at the computer without my eyes hurting. I was paying the price for my ailments. T...

Life in pieces

Image
Life in pieces When I was a little girl, I used to love doing jigsaw puzzles. Even to this day, I enjoy doing it though I hardly have time for that anymore. I never liked doing the easy ones like the hundred piece puzzles. I used to want the 500 piece and higher. Give me a 1000 piece and I would be thrilled to work on it. I have even done some 5000 piece puzzles and they gave me a thrill of a lifetime!  Now mind you, some 100 piece puzzles can be very challenging like the ones with all candy or coins or flowers etc. I just love the fact that a larger amount piece puzzle gave me more time to spend on them.  My strategy on doing a jigsaw puzzle? I make the "frame" first by getting the edges all hooked together. Then I would fill in the "insides". I hated the skies (if there were any) and would leave those for last. Most time, I hardly look at the box cover apart from the cursory glance every now and then to detect something on a piece. I have some favorite memori...
