FEISTY, RELAXING, GROWTH, TEARS,VICTORY
HI to all my friends and family I am going to clue you in on whats been going on. Sit back put your slippers on,hot coco, and reading glasses, sorry Dan could not resist,They are working
We are, completely moved into our new house. But hopefully Dan is waiting for me to come home to unpack boxes. After a discussion with a couple of my doctors they felt I needed for the betterment of my health. I am not doing well (and still I have to be careful) I have been in and out of the emergency rooms for several months due to migraines. I appreciate more than i can express here, Dan did a good job of taking the stress of moving away from me, HE SENT ME TO MICHIGAN. You may wonder what is in MI? I will tell you soon. While i am here, I draw alot of strength from Jill and awesome hubby.
I am pleased to say that my trip here is been beneficial.
SHE DOESN'T KNOW THIS BUT THIS BLOG IS DEDICATED TO A WONDER CHRISTIAN FRIEND WHO HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH...
My friend is definitely feisty, however, i have to duck in the truck when she starts yelling at all the tourists and pretends to speed up when they are jaywalking. I am not afraid to tell people if something is wrong or they offended me. Well i wont say i am not afraid, I am but....I can do it when she is with me. I have actually done it when she has not been around, but praise God for cell phones, I feel so guilty for asking what i want she is speed dial 8.
My friend has taught me to relax, When i first arrived, I would know we were, expecting someone at the door, but, when the door handle jingled i almost fell off the recliner. If i heard it once i heard it a hundred times it is OK...NEVER did she say relax, to me that is a very nasty five letter word that should be deleted from our vocabulary. I am remind that fear comes from satan himself and not the Lord, I will still NOT go in an airplane i am not daring for that yet. LOL
Over the last 3 weeks i have grown in the Lord. He has shown me so many blessings,and taken negative things and turned them around for good. My friend has a kind word for ALMOST everyone, I can think of only 2 she doesn't. No i am not telling you who. The Bible teaches the older woman should teach the younger. My friend is teaching me to be open to new ideas and thoughts. I have been able to show her a few things. My prayer life has increased alot. I am able to be calm enough to pray. I am so excited i can speak quickly and the Lord not only hears but listens to my tears. There are many other ways she has helped me grow.
It has not been a breeze being here. Many tears have been shed by myself and my friend, We have not only cried for own situations but the situations we both have been through. We shared our hopes and dreams, and eventually brought each other back to reality. Though we just met in person, it is if we have one mind. In fact, the joke around here is we each have one brain cell and they meet together for only one hour a day. The problem is we are never sure when that will be lol. Both have shed tears over friends and family. It makes it so much better when you have someone not only to cry with but to actually understand. What an awesome experience.
Victory only comes from turning everything over to the Lord, I have struggled with this...but not as bad as when i got here.
MY FRIEND IS JILL.....OH WHAT A SWEET BLESSING YOU HAVE BEEN TO ME....
Dear Jill,(none of this would be possible without the love of the Lord)
there is so much i want to say to you. First and foremost is accepting me for who i am and not trying to constantly change me. You have loved me even when i was unlovable. You showed me I could be loved unconditionally. Jill you taught me it was ok to laugh, I remember the first time i laughed with you on the phone, I looked around to see if anyone was watching. Now we have a great time laughing.
Jill you are so easy to love. You are an amazing woman with many talents you hide like i do, lets make a pact when we are apart we will continue with the talents God has given us. Where i am weak you are strong, where you are strong i am weak. I have never really had a "girlfriend" (meant as girl who is a friend lol) like you before. I kept waiting for you to tell me i was a disappointment to you. I still have not heard those words. You have been able to push me to heights i never thought i could attain, remember the BIG hill....uuuugggghhhh is this where i said the devil made me do it...just kidding, in all truth you are an angel God brought into my life, at the moment i needed you more.
I cant wait to see what the Lord has for us as best friends forever..
JILLIGAN I LOVE YOU!!!!!
