Most my answers, truth be told, I wanted to answer with “it depends” answer. Take the quiz. Know more about yourself and that may aid in who you are in your waiting situation. In […]

Thinking of Isaiah 42: 3……God is saying, via Isaiah, He’s sending His “elect”. Yes, He’s saying He’s sending His Son…..Jesus will not break the bruised reed. Hmmm…bruised reed…bruised humans….Humans who hurt/have been hurt could be called bruised. In circumstances where a person is waiting, hanging on, waiting….feelings can emerge. Negative emotions can want to take […]

How are you spending your Christmas Eve? Are you home? Are you in a “home”? Are you homeless? Are you getting your home ready for company? Are you at work? Are you out shopping? Are you baking? While waiting to sell house #2, we are working hard to clean up after flea bombing. We are […]

Says “no weapon formed against thee (me) will prosper…..” Yes! We were going along waiting on houses to sell, our finances to be mended, our vehicles to run correctly, and Christmas to take place…..Stress! As the Enemy would have it, I stumbled across texts in hubby’s phone. It seems customer has bonded more than she […]

The situations/circumstances remain about the same….some could really stress and lose it given these. I know……But, we are still ever praying. We haven’t lost hope. At the end of this when we have our answered prayers, Or, God shows us a whole new idea and goal, ……we will give testimonies right and left: we will […]

are in the power of the tongue…..Hmmm, power of the tongue…..While contemplating this fact, I’m convicted. From now on, I will be ever conscious of the fact. I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise will continually be in my mouth. With power of life and death in the tongue, I choose […]

We are still waiting. We still have our trials going on so hubby feels he needs to work at least 6 days a week, 16 hrs a day. This can wear a female out just waiting to see/feel love. As females do, I issue the ultimatums, I complain….he says “you say this stuff all the […]

Yep, it seems when bones, joints and feet are wearing out, toes and metatarsals do too. Everything cracks. One reference on the internet says to stay off your feet as much as possible with metatarsalgia. I’m not on em much now. Really. Oh, and it said one side effect was weakening achilles tendon. Well, had […]

Yes, I have a lapband…..Now, it’s not quite as you might think. I know I can get away with eating all the ice cream or creamy, buttery foods I can choke down. This doesn’t aid in weight loss….unfortunately. But, if it’s before 6pm. and I have any stress in my day, I can get “hung […]

We were married 9 and a half years and planned to have a celebratory anniversary trip to Niagara Falls. Our finances went further and further south. We changed our New York/Canada trip to an Ohio trip to see our grandson graduate High School. This is the first of our grand-kids to do this. We drove […]

As I sit waiting for answered prayer, I can be found stewing over my loneliness. I can worry about unresolved issues like the fact we bought a truck during the summer, but it’s sitting “dead” at the lot. We have not paid it off and the car lot  hasn’t repaired it. We got a Taurus […]

gift comes down from the Father of lights. I had experienced long intervals of merely sleeping my days away. Along with my insecurities, I had lived through marriage to an alcoholic, diagnosis of hepatitis B and diabetes, and my child being a vagrant who dropped out of High School, stole from a department store and […]

It’s December….many people haven’t found true love or reconnected with family this year and Christmas will be a sad time. We weren’t able to pay the mortgage on our house last month, but have hope that it will sell and we can start fresh in another state where there’s more family and better paying jobs. […]
