My Rainbow after the Storm

   Good morning my Precious Family, how are you all holding up today? I know I haven’t written much in my blog, but I’m doing the best I can to catch up a lot has been going on in My husbands and my life to keep us very busy, between family obligations, health issues and changes and some exiting things that are going to be happening soon, which will get into at a later time.
     Today’s  entry is not going to be so much like a topic, but encouragement, because we all know how discouraged we can become dealing with  Chronic illness 24/7 day in and day out. My prayer is that however you’re feeling today, whether your pain is really bad and you’re stuck in bed, maybe you’re in the hospital or your working part time, just trying to get through the day so you can climb back into bed as soon as you walk through the door or maybe you’re a busy stay at home mom and your trying to be brave and put a smile on your face for their sake , whichever situation  you find yourself in this entry is for you.
    To reassure you you’re not alone and that after every storm the rainbow always shines through! I didn’t sleep well last night, I tossed and turned not because of the pain, but my mind would not shut off, thinking of all my responsibilities and long to do list the next morning. After finally my head hitting the pillow at almost 2:30 am, I woke at 6; 30 hoping to fall back to sleep, but sleep never came, I could hear the rain falling outside and it was soothing to my soul. At last the rain stopped and I could smell the rain still in the air, I could hear the bird’s chirping right outside my window.
   I got up, had breakfast and did my daily devotions; I always feel such peace after I spend time in Gods words and I said to myself today imam going to my beauty in the midst of the business, all that’s on my mind, both personal and for those I love .Aim going to see my storm, acknowledge my storm, but know that in the big picture storms always pass over, and that the rain bow always appears. And most importantly is that Jesus can calm any storm, the raging waters can be silenced with just one word spoken by him.
  Look for His wonders, pray for eyes to see the beauty! When the storm clouds gather overhead and we all face different storms in our lives, for those with IC we face chronic pain, doctor’s appointments and procedures and surgeries, it’s a hard     life to live, but we are not left out in the cold. We have a place to run for shelter when those clouds grow dark. We have a haven to find solace in, when the pain is unbearable. We have a lifeguard who walks on water, when the waves are intimidating. And we have the promise   that comes with the rainbow, what we go through is not meant to destroy us, but to show  us how much we need Jesus to rely on him every second of every day, how much he loves each and every one of us, wow what comfort that is to me. We may feel alone, but were never alone!

    To wrap up this entry I want to share a encouraging quote that sums up what im hoping to relay to you!” God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us in the dreariest and most dreaded moments can see a possibility of hope” By: Maya Angelou….. so look for your rainbow after the long hard rain, for nothing can grow without some rain to bring forth beauty~

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...
