18th Entry - Another Challenge To Deal With!

Well, I have had another setback!  The other day I went out to walk our new dog.
we got her from a lady here in the Senior Mobile Home Park who had to go to an assisted living facility.  The dog is an 11 yr old Shih-Tzu.  She is very well behaved and a joy to have.
As I was walking her the other day, and, long story short, I slipped and fell on the ice.  I hit hard.  I sustained a concussion, fractured fingers (one is only hanging on by the skin), skinned up nose and upper lip, sore neck and lower back.  My neighbor saw it all and called the ambulance.  The dog was unharmed.  My speech was affected but is getting better now.  I am very sick from this and must have surgeries to fix my broken bones.  It could have been much worse.
 Please continue to keep me in your Prayers for my recovery.  I will strive to faithfully keep you posted.  <3

17th Entry - EPIPHANY!!!!

Thank you for faithfully following this blog and for your fervent Prayers on my behalf.
You have experienced me at my darkest hour and have been with me on this journey seeing how God (and your Prayers) has been working in my life.  I hope sharing my experiences has helped you cope with your own trials in life under God's direction and our willingness to yield to His Will.
There has never been a doubt that God led me to move across the country to a place I have never been, nor did I know a soul here.  After repeated encounters with my newfound Sisters and Brothers in Christ where the Holy Spirit has led me to testify the Words were NOT mine, but what God needed me to say, I received a Holy Epiphany!  This morning, while I was waiting for a food basket and a local church, a very handsome young man sat next to me.  I sensed he was hurting and some how we struck up a conversation.  I really cannot remember all that we said, but I felt so compelled to provide honest encouragement and affirmation that God loves him and that he is a beautiful person.  I felt so much love, strife, and pain from this young man.     After a while he got up and said he had to go outside.  I thought, oh Lord, did I offend him?  Please forgive me if I did.  After several minutes, he returned.  He looked at me with watering eyes and said, "How/Why did we meet"?  I replied that it can only be God working in our lives.  Then my number was called and I rose to go.  This beautiful young man stood up, hugged me, and said "How can I let you go"?  I told him that we are never really apart, that we are joined by The Holy Spirit and that we will be dancing on Streets of Gold in GloryLand!  I stepped back and told him I would be right back.  I grabbed a piece of paper and found a pen.  I drew a big heart and inside it I wrote my name, phone number, and this blog address.  I gave it to him  and told him he can reach me anytime.  I got my food allotment and left.  In the car, on the way home, I Prayed and Prayed for that man.  Immediately, after I finished my Prayer, God zapped me with His Holy Purpose for me here in this new home.  God needs me to go through all these cruel and painful trials and move 1,700 miles from the place I had always lived so I can bring His Words to the souls He Leads to me or me to.  This blog is a part of my Ministerial Service and calling as well.  I hope by sharing my struggles, overcoming adversities, and witnessing the results of your Faithful Prayers, you are gaining strength to endure and overcome trials in your lives, and seeking God will in your lives.
