Lately I feel as if I am somewhere between myself.
As coporeal as my illness is. It has left me collapsing in both body and in soul.
Infelicitous in time.
I am inept and ill chosen in spirit to handle this weighty thing that has been pressed upon me.
Weak in body.
No where I look can I find strength to carry me through these troubled times.
I am sad. My heart is grieving. I need comfort, I need strength.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Isaiah 40:29

HEY SWEETIE, FOR SOME REASON I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FEELING THIS WAY, EVEN ME. MY E-MAIL IS DOWN, THERE SEEMS TO BE A "WINTER" THING GOING ON. I IKNOW I ALWAYS FEEL WORSE IN THE WINTER, FROM SEPTEMBER TO APRIL, SO I JUST KNOW IT'S COMING AND TRY TO DEAL WITH IT THE BEST I CAN. OF COURSE I LEAN HEAVILY ON THE LORD.
EVEN PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE LUPUS GET DOWN BECAUSE OF A LACK OF NATURAL LIGHT FROM THE SUN. I FIND THAT LISTENING TO GOSPEL MUSIC LIFTS MY SPIRIT AND I WATCHED A GAITHER PROGRAM ON T.V. LAST NIGHT THAT WAS FILMED IN BETHLEHEM, IT WAS AWESOME. I PRAISED THE LORD, ALONE, IN MY LIVING ROOM AND HAD A BLAST!
WHEN WE ARE FLAT ON OUR BACKS WE HAVE 2 CHOICES, STAY THERE AND GIVE IN TO THE DEVIL, OR LISTEN FOR GOD'S WORDS THAT STRENGTHEN AND ENCOURAGE. SOME DAYS JUST TAKING A SHOWER IS A MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT! MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS I REALLY HATE THE NIGHT! OF COURSE PAIN IS WORSE AND IT'S QUIETER SO I THINK ABOUT MY GRANDCHILDREN, STILL IN FOSTER CARE.
I ALLOW MYSELF SO MUCH TIME FOR FUN, THEN I COMPROMISE AND LOAD/UNLOAD THE DISHWASHER. OR CLEAN THE BATHROOMS. JUST ONE SMALL TASK A DAY SOMETIMES IS GOOD. I ALSO LIKE TO READ. JUST READ A GR8 BOOK "THE PEARL", WONDERFUL, I RECCOMMEND IT.
DIFFERENT THINGS WORK FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
I HOPE SOME OF THIS HELPS YOU. I AM 59 AND HAVE HAD MY SYMPTOMS FOR 36 YEARS NOW, SO I HAVE EXPERIENCE THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR. E-MAIL ME OR BUDDY CHAT WITH ME. AS YOU CAN TELL, I LOVE TO TALK. LOL LOVE YOU IN THE LORD. WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS US!!!!
Lu,
I am relieved to see you writing again.
Honey, please go easy on yourself.
You just had major surgery.
You are going to be completely unbalanced for the next several weeks.
It is no wonder that your soul feels tired and weary right now.
You did not have a lot of health going into the surgery, so it is going to take a lot of time and rest to come through this one.
Lu, this will pass.
Please don't hesitate to IM me when you need to, okay?
With all my love,
Loretta
Hi I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are.
I wish I could do or say something to make it all better. I hope just knowing that we think about you helps a little. I had my gall bladder out three years ago. Have a great Sunday!!! Linda
Dear Luanne, along with my prayers i send to you this verse.....
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" Matthew 11, 28-30.
Don't you just love those words coming from a man/God/The Christ, who KNOWS he is born to be crucified for us? wow, is burden is light? what's heavy??? lol... i was just commenting on that part to my hubby, who is not a believer... but when i read your entry tonight, this verse popped into my head quicker than flash... strange that it was my confirmation verse too... but i spent the last 20 minutes searching a teeny tiny print bible for the right chapter and verse... lol
I love you luanne. :)

Oh Sweetie! (((((((LUANNE))))))) The Lord is carrying you. I feel sad as well. But he is giving us the strength.............sometimes we just don't realize it. You're in my prayers. *Chrissy*
((((((((((BIG HUG)))))))))))
I am constantly thinking about and praying for you!
(((((Lu))))) I have been thinking a lot about you lately and praying for you every time I think about you!! I know it has been very, very hard for you. I know because you have been terribly sick and you haven't been writing in your journal. If there is anything at all I can do, please let me know. You are in God's palm, please know that. xox
I wish that I could do or say something to make your journey easier!!!!
My prayers are with you.
Question.... May I ask.....
What has happened to cause you to make your journal private?
Thoughts are with you.
