Now that I am better, I can say that the reality of my "new normal" has become deeper. Being sick and alone isn't fun.  No one to rely on to do even little things for me.  No one to go get the medicine I need, to bring me a drink when in bed, to ask … Continue reading Being Alone

No where in Scripture does God tell us we will not have troublesome times.  In fact, Jesus said we would have tribulations in the world, but "be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."  In the midst of tribulation and trouble, we are at peace through Christ.  He gives us the strength we need … Continue reading Trouble comes

Today I am so glad that God is True and Faithful to His word whether or not I "feel it."  I have been sick this week....still am.  Taking allergy meds for cough so severe head aches and rib muscles ache.  Finally got full nights sleep last night after using the old Afrin nasal spray.  Good … Continue reading So glad
