"Time For ME"



                                                              
         I sit here so exhausted from the business of the holiday festivities. It’s like it all has caught up to me. It was a bittersweet Christmas for my Family and I, as just a month ago we said our last goodbye to my Uncle Mike here on earth but, In Reality is we will see you later when we all are reunited in Heaven, what a glorious day that will be. I apologize to all my readers that it’s been awhile since I wrote in here. It’s just been a whirlwind of events.
      I know this year has been a tough one for a lot of you, not just battling the IC but, loss, division within the family, financial struggles, and I know a lot of my readers have been in and out of the hospital. Just know this, you are Warriors of the strongest kind, so many times we feel like we may have a grip on this disease and again it takes the rug out from under us. Whether we realize it or not we inspire each other. That’s why I do this blog to help you walk this journey.
    I titled this entry TIME FOR ME~ we all need to make time for ourselves, there is NO shame in this. Whether you’re a mother or father or spouse or worker, you NEED to make time for YOU, Because YOU matter. You may think that with the IC you’re not being a good enough parent; you’re doing the best you can. You might think you’re not giving your spouse the time they need. You are a wonderful spouse and sometimes we need to help them understand. And though as a parent you always put your child above your own needs, so we can give the best to those in our life, we need to take time for ME moments. Otherwise we will be running on empty and having nothing to give them. So embrace moments that you can take a deep breath and do something for YOU. So you can be the best version of yourself for all those special people in our lives.

Poem~ "Not Another Day"

                       Good evening readers,I know its been awhile since I wrote in my blog and I apologize for that. This entry won’t be a regular entry I feel led to share with you another one of my poems to encourage your weary souls. I know that a lot of my IC and fibro and many suffering from chronic pain are dealing with a lot, their health is failing, and they feel overwhelmed, pressed down from so many different angles.       Today my pain is so severe, I was late getting my period, and we know how that flares our IC, but I forced myself to go outside and just sit in the sun for a little bit. It was a time of refreshment and peace. The sky was so blue, as blue as can be, the sun was so warm on my face and the clouds so puffy. I then spent a hour just reading my bible, I felt the Holy spirit drench me with His peace. I put myself aside and ...

I Give Permission

  Put away that smile and brave face. We are not required to stay strong, we all feel weak at times. There is no shame in this. There are more than enough days that I lay in bed and just cry, until I no long have tears to cry with. I cry because of the relentless pain, I cry because I want to be free of this monster that tried to wreck havoc on my body. It does to my body in many ways, but I refuse to let it do that to my soul. This is about giving ourselves room and permission to cry and to let it all out. I need to be honest with myself, I hate this I really do, and WE all do. It’s not fair it feels good to be real and raw and speak it the way it is. I know many of you will be able to relate to this. The day’s I’m bedridden, that’s tough. But I give myself permission to not be on top of it all. It’s ok to cry its ok to breakdown, I give you permission. I’m sure you’ve heard this before; TEARS are a cleansing to the soul and spirit. God gave us tears, it he wanted us to always ...

Poetry~ "Its In Moments Like This I Live For"

Another night of endless pain, hard to remember   the life i had before all this pain began, another night I face, the world sleeps as I lie awake thinking of another time, another place, a place far away from all the pain and the tears, if only I could go back so many years.     As I sit here with tears falling from my eyes I cling to the words I   know my Savior said” never will I leave you, never will I forsake you” its in moments like this I so desire to be wrapped up in the arms of my loving Lord.     Outside I can hear the river flow on by, and the small waterfall at the end. it’s the way I love to   begin and end my days, hearing the sound of God’s creation   the sound reaches into my soul I feel its echo through my body, I sense the peace and the tranquility it brings its in moments like this, amidst the pain that I live for.   Day after day as time ticks away, the hours slip by, they give away to days, days turn into weeks...
