The Lord's Provision

Isn't the Lord amazing :) Over the last several months, I have been totally amazed how the Lord has provided for my needs, yes, I am still having some financial struggles, but my imediate needs are met. The Lord knows exactly what needs we have and when we have them. His timing is always perfect. Thank you LORD for meeting my every day needs, as you always do.

Sometimes Only God Knows Why!!!

So as I said in my last post, I had returned to work, however, that only lasted for a week. All was going well until I was required to work 9-10 hour days and was coming home with migraines, then I woke up with a Migraine and had to go to work with it and my heart was racing all day. I was praying all day about what to do and after much prayer and spending another 9 1/2 hour day at work I  knew that I was not going to be able to handle it health wise. I know that the Lord knows exactly what He is doing in my life and that He has something special in store for me, but right now that does not involve work :)

I will one day return to the work force but I will not push myself and will wait on His perfect timing. Please continue to pray for me as this week has been a rough one all around.

Gradual Improvement

I have been battling back and forth for the last couple of months about returning to work, praying about what the Lord would want me to do. I was looking for a job that I was capable of doing, especially since I am still having some tachycardia and fatigue, and headaches of and on. I happened upon an office RN position in and decided to call about it. Everything worked out and I decided to accept the position at this GYN office. It is a whole new experience for me but it is a perfect fit because I am able to sit down when I need to and still am making money. The Lord really knows how to provide for our needs. It is not exactly the job that I would have picked but I am learning to adjust gradually :)

I also went to Pittsburgh to see a Cardiologist on Friday who specializes in POTS. He informed me that I am doing everything right. My symptoms seem to be well under control and that I should continue doing what I am doing. The only thing that he would add is increasing my activity as much as possible, which I am already doing by returning to work. So that was a good report.

The progress has been gradual and some days are worse than others but that Lord has been faithful through it all.

God Gives JUST What We Need!

I had the wonderful oppurtunity of attending a woman's conference this weekend in Horseheads, NY with Mrs. Debi Pryde. It was just the shot in the arm that I needed to really look into my spiritual life and see that there are some things that I need to change. The Lord really knew that is what I needed right now, but it did not stop there. The Lord continued to work in my heart on Sunday through my pastor's messages. He spoke on the Promises of God how they are perfect and NEVER fail. How powerful.

Luk 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

God promises that if we give HE will give unto us more bountifully than we already have, running over. God wants to shower us with blessings, but we have to do our part.

The Pastor also spoke about how God will supply our needs. We may not know when, but we have to patiently wait for Him to do it, don't rob Him of that blessing.

Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

God has all the things that we need we just need to sit back and wait for Him to provide. God will take care of us. I am so thankful that God is concerned about MY needs. Now, I just have to wait on HIM.

Praise the Lord for Good Days!!!

The last few weeks I have been struggling with headaches, unsure of what the next day may hold. I have been trying to daily place my trust in the Lord. Last night, while doing my devotions I was yet again reminded of the importance of drawing near to God and placing my trust in Him as it says in

Psa 73:28  "But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works."

So this morning, NO headache...praise the Lord. I was actually able to help my mom with her kitchen. I also got an amazing phone call. The appointment for the Headache Clinic in Pittsburgh which was scheduled for February was able to be moved up to October 14 (due to a cancellation). I am thrilled. The Lord really is good. I am hopeful that they will be able to give me some advice or some help in some way. Of course this makes 3 appointments in Pittsburgh in October, but at least maybe then I can get some answers concerning my health. It will be a busy month.

Over all, having a pretty good health day and praising the Lord for it. Hope and pray that I will be in church tonight for once on a Wednesday night. Looking forward to being in the Lord's House among the Lord's people.

Roller Coaster Ride :)

The last several months have been like a roller coaster ride for me. I have many ups and downs. I will have several good days and than go through a bad stretch. Last week, I went through almost a whole week with no headaches and I spent a great deal of time praising God for the good days. Then, it came to an end and the headaches came back. For the last several days, I have been dealing with migraines again. My doctor basically told me to deal with it until I go to my neurologist in October (that is easy for her to say). Today, I actually did not feal too bad. Today, I managed to help my mom make applesauce and elderberry jelly, helped my dad pick some corn and helped my mom prepare it to freeze. A big day. I am tired, but I hope that there are more days like today. One day the Lord will allow me many good days in a row, at least that is what I am praying for. Please continue to pray for me that I can indeed hold out until the end of October when I go see the Neurologist and Cardiologist in Pittsburgh. Hopefully they will be able to give me some answers. Afterall, I like rollercoasters, but I prefer to ride them instead of live them everyday of my life :)

A GREAT Nights Sleep...A Great day to PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Psalm 48:1-2 "Great is  the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.  Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King."

The last couple of nights the Lord has allowed me to get the rest that I have needed. Last night, I slept through the night until 5:30 am and then I stayed up talking with my dad before work and then went back to sleep and slept almost until 9:00 am. I feel well rested for the first time in months. Praise the Lord for feeling good.

My hands and feet are on the mends, my head feels good, it is a Sunny day...it is a good day to praise the LORD.
