We were at my oldest awards ceremony last night…and I dont know what we were doing…Just having Fun…
Here is my oldest with the MAVS MAN…and boy was that guy was awesome doing flips and all sorts of stuff…My son was in awe! And we only had to wait 45 minutes for our picture!
He thinks he is So cool cause he was wearing his BIG brothers jersey after the ceremony!!! He is pretty cool!
Test DONE!!!
First of all, you know your baby is getting big when she can open the fridge door. Yes she is one and half and can open the door. And she seems to think she can take whatever she wants. And she does if I am busy. Like the three yogurt drinks that she helped herself too while I was working on laundry. She is such a stinker!
So I have been waiting to have this test done. It is done. And I feel a weight has been lifted. Do I get the results back today….NO I have to wait till Friday morning. So I get to think about it all week. I was going to post a whole bunch of info on Addison’s Disease, but I am going to wait till Friday. 
I am going to go off coffee. If you have been reading my blog for awhile you will say…well you already tried that. Well this time I am more serious. I really need to get off the coffee for health reasons. I am also really working on changing my diet even more so. I have already started, but I am kicking it into high gear. So if you see me during the week…I need a little bit of encouragement. This is so hard for me. I love food. Love to try foods. Love pasta. Breads. Everything sugar….and those are all not the best for me. So I am trying. I am sure I will have my days of messing up, but I am committed to getting TOTALLY healthy for the sake of my family and for Me. Part of getting better will be my diet. Trying to read up on being gluten free. This is going to be work. BUT, I have a good support system.
I got a nice shot of medicine in my butt to help me through the rest of today. And it gave me energy and took away nausea for awhile, but I feel like I have been hit my a semi truck again and am nauseated again. So I will sign off for now.
I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.”- Psalm 16:7-8
Trials and Perseverance…
In the Webster’s dictionary the definition of Perseverance
is: to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counter influences, opposition, or discouragement
and the definition of Trials
is: Experience; suffering that puts strength, patience of faith to the test; afflictions or temptations that exercise and prove the graces or virtues of men.
James 1:2-8 says:
“2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.”
Right now I am in this trial of sickness…if that is what you want to call it! I have been sick for weeks. Not felt good, often extremely tired, stomach pain, and many other pains. I have had so many tests done. Been to many doctors. We think we have the right diagnosis of Addison’s Disease. We have more tests next week. It is draining. And I am tired. My body feels weak. My mind is still running! And today I am meditating on this scriptures:
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
My hope is in the Lord. I know that as I walk through this time of trials, that I will persevere and come out a better person for it. Someone said to me, “well it is just not fair that you have to walk through this” Well life is not fair. And God did not promise us that we would walk a life with NO problems or that it would just be every once in a while. He said we would have problems period. I can’t question God, I learned a long time ago not to. He has my life in his hands. His plan is perfect for me. When we question Him, then we are really doubting Him and his perfect plan. What we think is perfect, is usually not what God thinks is perfect. His timing is usually not ours. His ways our not ours. I have found in this time that I do have such a peace. It is only peace that God can give. Do I have my days, well yes because I am only human. But this is what I know for sure: God loves me so much, His care for me is deep, his plan for me is perfect, his timing is perfect, his ways are perfect, his grace is enough for me to make it through each day, his strength for me is enough for each day, his peace is indescribable, his joy, that he puts in me, is new every morning. And I know in the end, regardless of whatever that might be for me or you, that we will be okay, as long as our trust is in Him.
