Prayer Request


History has repeated itself. It has happened again. Every time that I don’t feel well, I don’t write a blog. And, if I miss a week of not writing, I just quit all together. It’s what happened when I was living in Ghana. The first several years I tried to write twice a week. Then, the illnesses started, mainly constant (or so it seemed) sinus infections. I hardly wrote a blog those last two or three years. I felt crummy. And, who wants to read about an old woman and her sicknesses? In my mind, I hear Thumper’s mother say, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” When I write, I want to write something positive. 

I’ve been dealing with sinus infections for about six weeks. I’m on my third antibiotic. I don’t feel sick enough to stay home all day, but I don’t feel well enough to go out and about all day. I’m grateful that my work day is only six hours. And, I don’t think to write a blog when I am this way. (I am not looking for medical suggestions. Let me just say that I have really bad sinuses.) 

So, I’m asking for prayers for healing…healing for my sinus issues. Was a result of healing comes so many other good things. Things will happen such as increased ability to focus. A desire to be more active, to do some healthy stuff. My God is a good, good God, and He is my Healer!

I Lied


It is true. I have been lying to you. I have finally come out of denial. My knee pains me a lot. It keeps me awake at night. It shoots sharp pain up my leg when I drive my moto because of the angle I need to have it to drive. It makes travel very challenging. I limped from my kitchen workspace to my refrigerator today. I cannot wait a year for a knee replacement. I have called my surgeon to find out what my options are. (Two years ago he told me that he would do surgery whenever I wanted…it was that bad!) It is like a constant toothache or worse.
 
So, pray for me, for my knee and for health decisions that need to be made. (Surgery has been scheduled for Friday, October 17, 2014.) I cannot live in Lawra like this and do what I need to do/want to do. Thanks!
