Road to Purity
In August we had a "bump in the road" that had me experiencing many side effects from the 'whiplash.'
There were 3 ER visits from 'what are these symptoms' never felt before. Then the Doctor visits to diagnose 'just what is going on.'
Needless to say, like Peter looking down--my mind, my spirit started to sink into the darkness of believing ---"I may be dying soon."
This attitude had me sinking even further into the darkness of depression and not 'caring' if I lived or died.
Yesterday, the added symptoms of weakness, nausea and more thoughts of 'now what is going on,' came and another Doctor appointment scheduled.
This morning, thanks to others praying for me-- here came Jesus, walking on the waters to pull me up and say, "woman, get busy living, or keep on dying in despair."
I was prompted to do what had been done before, and start my day with getting music in my ears, go outside and MOVE IT as I grooved it and dance! This is God's therapy for a happy body and life.
So putting the earphones and playing favorite praise music from my MP3 player, me and the dogs --again-- went outside to dance, and throw the ball. Even with increased arthritis pain---the music blocked my mind of all pain and negative thoughts. I decided to live, and obey and be well. I also decided to cancel that Doctor appointment.
God's other medicine to live and be alive---drink water and wait until I am hungry!! Crucial for me, as the daily battle of fluid retention was happening worse since the accident. Why? Negative thoughts, and feelings equal: eating and not doing and going, just sitting and watching TV or playing games on the computer. That, "I feel bad feeling" really had me feeling bad and was crippling me more!
Two days ago, I was led to stay off the IPAD with fake news and devious lures of the click/bait that would upset you are anger you more. The media of late is really depressing, and makes you angry, doesn't it? So God said to go into the 'desert from the world' for 40 days.
I am feeling 100% better and if I want to continue to Live--then I must keep living in God's love, dance and be glad and praise and rejoice---lifting my thoughts up and eyes on Jesus and off the waters of life!!! Get er done, ya hear woman--get er done!!!
Dear people of God--"Do you want to be well?" Then get up off that matt of woe; rise above your negative thoughts, look up and walk into wellness of living life fully!"
Peace be with you.
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
