I have been battling sadness the last few weeks. I have gotten a report that I have a hernia, and the surgeon I met said he won’t do it because of my age and medical condition.

I am seeking a second opinion to see if I can still have the surgery. However, I am feeling very bad that I have to live with the pain, and stop some exercising I was doing.

The doctor prescribed a device for me to wear the rest of my life, that is suppose to “push,” the hernia back into it place. I do not want to wear a device the rest of my life.

Have you struggled with you health like I am doing now? I completely understand the boat you are in. I am on it with you.

I am working hard to be positive throughout all of this. Here are some things I have been leaning on to help me with that:

  1. I need to be thankful that it is only hernia, and try to stop the pity parties. That doesn’t go well with my children.
  2. I need to know that God will provide the answer to all of this.
  3. I need to pray often, and without ceasing for strength.
  4. I need to still go on walks to keep some semblance of strength.

_____________________________________________

Why don’t you make your own list of ways to plow through your walls you are facing? It made me feel good by doing these for you.

_____________________________________________

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Some Say it is Bad to Be Rich. Really?

I was reading the Bible the other day and had a big awakening. I read Mark Chapter 10. It told about being rich and how that can hard on you. Being rich hard? I had a hard time accepting that until I read the whole chapter.

This chapter is about rich ruler who comes up to Jesus and asks him what He needs to do to be a follower. Jesus told him, “Sell everything you have and give it to the poor and then follow me.”

The ruler looked very sad because he felt he was doing all right things in the eyes of God. Jesus told him different.

Later Jesus said in Mark 10:25 “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of god.”

I came up with some thoughts from this.

  1. We need to give away the things that’s blocking Jesus’ way.
  2. Give away barriers like that new boat, car house; give to the poor.
  3. The one thing you lack is everything you need, and that is Jesus.

___________________________________________

I also thought, “The cross before me and the world behind me.” Which way should I go?

I should follow Jesus and leave the world behind me. We are only here for a short while, and the rest is eternity. Eternity can be with the Lord, or with the dark one. Which one do you choose?

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Have you ever done some things you wish you would have followed through on? I sure have.

1.I have been delaying calling my publisher to get my manuscript to them for my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life. It is done and sitting in my drawer. That is not helping anyone.

2. I have had a luncheon date planned, but not made the call. It is an interview with a WWII nurse. It should be very interesting.

3. I have a Gold Star parent I am suppose to interview and I just keep putting it aside.

4. I have been out of filters for my C-PAP machine, and haven’t called to order any.

5. I want to call my primary doctor to ask him to find me another doctor who will give me a second opinion on a surgery I think I need.

_______________________________________________

We all have these kind of problems. We think we can always put things off until tomorrow.

Tomorrow may never come!!!

_______________________________________________

We need to make to a “To Do,” list every day, and follow through on each and every one of them.

________________________________________________

Try to do all the things you need to do. Not for yourself, but to please God. He wants the best for you, but you have to do it. Time to be on top of everything. It will give you the confidence you really need.

You are never unloved.
