A massive stroke, in 2026, should have ended my life.
Unimaginable pain should have destroyed my faith.
Still, I believe.
satan thought he had ended me
Still, I believe.
My finances are down to nothing.
Still, I believe.
When I first had my stroke, I wanted to die. I did not know how to live this way. I wanted to hide away from everything and everyone how I wanted to. Deep, depression haunted me. I thought God had left me. I felt hopeless. I felt helpless. I was afraid of everything.
It took months to believe again.
Still, I believe. The hard days are still hard. Dark days are still dark
Still, I believe.
I’ve been ill this week. I had to go to the ER twice. The pain is pretty bad right now.
Take it slow. I musts tell myself this every day now. I have been in a hurry for so many years, I don’t know how to slow down. God is teaching me to slow down. I don’t know why we are all in such a big hurry. Why do we rush so much? Where are we going in such a big hurry? What are we going to do when we get there?
Life is short. Take it slow. Give yourself some time. Enjoy the scenery. Enjoy your surroundings. Take a breath. Take a walk. Read a book. Watch a movie. There are millions of things we can do with our. What are you doing with yours?
Note: Life has been hard. Still, I believe. No matter what you are going through right now, don’t give up. Keep going. You can make it. You are not alone. Not ever. Being helpless is a choice. Choose to believe in yourself. My aphasia is really bad , right now, making it difficult to get words out and tough to be understood. I am working hard on being patient.
There is so much I want to say. I fight with words now. I miss being able to speak freely. Just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me. Don’t give up just because it’s hard right now. Things will get better for you. Have a wonderful day. Make it an amazing day.
Dark days are STILL dark. Yet, I have God’s Company. Painful things STILL hurts Yet, I am NOT alone.
Take heart. You are not alone. You don’t suffer alone. You don’t fight alone.
Bad days happen. That’s OK. Life happens. The light will come on.
Be encouraged. Learn how to move in the dark. Let God tell you how to move in the darkness. You don’t have to be scared of the dark. God is everywhere.
Use your light. Help others to see in the darkness. We have things to do do. We have to learn how to use all things for our good. Even the dark.
Have a wonderful week. Look forward to the weekend. Embrace the future. ENJOY the day.
I am going through the flames. Still. The heat consumes all that does not serve my growth. God has been brutally wounded I. His need to heal me. I stand in awe of His love, of His Unrelenting and UNWAVERING commitment to my freedom, to my healing.
I have not always been the best student. I have been stupid. I’ve been really rebellious. I have been unwise. I have done things that have not served me. I have had to REPENT repeatedly.
I have made excuses. I have run away. I have not trusted my family like I should have. I’m not trust my friend like I should have. I have not trusted God the way I should have. I am starting over with everyone. Starting with me. I am thankful for my family and my friends. They have my back. They love me. They are teaching me how to love myself. They stayed when they could have left. So did God. So did Jesus.
