Can We Talk

This is not an easy post for me to make.
When I was growing up, I was taught to always be aware of my surroundings and what position I may be putting myself in.....and to remind myself to check and see if this is where Christ would like to find me upon His return. I definitely would not like for Him to find me complaining.  Actually, I am trying to be totally open to you in an attempt to help someone else, if possible. And, eventually, I would like to look back on this adversity someday and have total recall of His faithfulness.
One very good thing: I find myself at the half-way point of my IV Therapy Infusions.  Whenever I feel discouraged that I am not seeing enough measurable progress, they remind me that the Infusions are working at the cellular level! However, an adverse reaction to the IV Therapy Infusions I am continuing to experience is awful headaches that unfortunately have steadily increased.  They no longer go away with a couple of tylenol.  The doctor has prescribed 800 mg of ibuprofen.  Somedays when I get home from work, my feet feel like marshmallows.  And while the marshmallow is a key ingredient for making tasty s'mores, it does not make for easy transporting through one's normal daily activities.
Continuously striving to maintain a positive attitude is the goal.  I am sure that you will agree with me, whenever we look around it is easy to count our blessings :)

  1. You are my hero, mom. I've never known you to complain. The height of your complaints echo more like gratitude and wisdom than the all too frequent sounds of entitlement which plague usual complaining...

    I love you. I can't wait to see what God will do through you and your ever-growing testimony...
