Brenda,
Your blog is beautiful. your words are well chosen and your message is uplifting. I always try to look at the bright side and I have found that most women I have met who deal with chronic pain also tend to downplay their situation. Isn't it funny that those who are truly suffering can so often give the most to others in need? Promise to visit you blog often!

Marianne, go to the blog and sign on as a follower and please leave a comment on the different post. We are having a party and giveaway. Those who sign as a follower will be in the drawing. Hope to see you there. Marianne, when you live with the chronic pain for years, you have to downplay the pain. It's there everyday as soon as you wake up and many times during the night. But we just can't let it stop us from living our life. It could be easy, but not good for our well being. There are days that I get angry and so tired of it. But I was reading in my Purpose Driven Life book that God uses your weakness to help others. It's good to tell others they are not alone and they have a friend in me. We will work through all the twist and turns together, helping with suggestions and prayer's. Doing alot of phyical help for others is hard as I've found helping my mom out. But I'm a good listener, share my love of God and pray. I have a strong shoulder you can lean on and I'll be there in anyway I can. So there are good things I can do. So I pick myself up on those tough days and talk to my support group and try to tackle something new. I'm so happy that you enjoyed our blog. Linda also struggles with chronic pain and we do alot of bible study's by email and phone calls. And we just wanted a place where others could come and know that we are not perfect and never will be. But we are trying our best, trip and start over to be the ladies the Lord wants us to be. I am finding out that it is an everyday process and work and commentment. Thank you for joining us. Can't wait to get to know you better. Didn't mean to go on so, just trying to encourage others not to give up, with God all will work out. Hugs, Brenda

I went to heart doctorFriday and good news, he has ok'ed knee surgery. I have an appt on next Wednesday to do a couple more tests that knee doctor needs before surgery. As soon as I get home from the doctor on wednesday I will call and schedule the day for knee surgery.
So now I'm trying to get all the swaps I'm involved in done and mailed off. I won't be able to drive for 6-8 weeks so I'm trying to make a list of things I will need during that time, I'll be able to make some of the things for Christmas.
Brenda, on the coaster craft please go over the steps for me as my mind is about that long and I want to make some for Christmas. Take care ladies and keep me in your prayers and know you will all be in mine.

I'm here, I'm here!!!! Between keeping my husband from having a heart attack over this crazy mortgage situation and my niece moving back in things are a little challenging these days!
But, yesterday's talk and Watchtower study picked us both up and my dd and dh went to a friends graduation party and had a great time visiting with old friends. I know when you are the one that has the responsibility to support your family and with a wife with ill health you worry even more. I keep reminding him of Jesus reassuring words that as long as we put first God's kingdom and are doing his will he will not leave us and will provide for our needs. And, we both have seen his hand in my case and others lives as well.
A friend of ours that is a full time volunteer in the preaching work that we do had lost her job a year ago and was collecting unemployment. Her dh is self-employed and you know how that can be work this week and none the next so he was praying and hoping things would pick up. Well, she was praying that if it would not interfer with her volunteer schedule and that she could keep up with all her Bible students that she could take on a part-time job again making $18.00 an hour two days a week.
Well, she had to put out applications to comply with the unemployment requirements and her last place she applied for called her in for an interview. Of course she prayed before she went asking God for the same requirements she'd been asking him for. Well, they said we'll call you after we review all the applications. Two days later they called her back in the office and told her that for some reason her application stood out to them even though others were more qualified than she was for the position. They asked her why she only wanted the two days a week so she explained she was in the volunteer Bible study work and could only spare two days a week so her service to her students would not suffer. They were impressed with her commitment to them.
Then they asked how much she wanted an hour she said a quick prayer and told them $15.00 an hour. They said we'll give you $17.50 how's that? She almost cryed. Jehovah had answered her prayer in a big way. Then they said after the first of the year they'll give her a dollar raise. So, we know our great God will not leave us and always takes care of those that serve him out of a pure heart!
Thought you'd like that experience, it sure lifted my spirits. I'll keep you posted on our mortgage situation. I sent a letter to our state senator and he is looking into the matter for us. So, I think they will sit up and take notice of their inquiries. I'm a true blue farmgirl. I put my mind to something and plow through to see the right end result come about.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day and enjoys this great weather!

Ok Girls,
I went in for my last test and then I called the knee doctors office. I'm scheduled for surgery on December 16th to have a total knee replacement on my right knee. I'm still feeling great about having this done, I'm so in hopes that this will relieve some of the pain that I experience on a daily basis. If all goes well (and I know it will) the second knee will be done in a few months. But one step at a time, please keep me in your prayers. And know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey Ladies,
Hope you are all having a great Saturday! It is cloudy here but cooler so we'll take it! Connie, I know your surgery will be just fine. Would you mind sending me your address so I can send you an after surgery package?
Linda, thank you I got the letter and check for the coffee pot. Getting it ready to go out Monday.
Brenda and Sherry, hope you are both well and keeping busy.
I sent letters to our state Senator and he is in contact with the agency's involved in our situation and it has put a fire under them now. We are being treated so much better so we are just waiting for the official answer and I'll let you know as soon as we find out.
I'm truly greatful for all the help you sent me Sherry, it has helped us so much.
My DH is going to aux. pioneer for a year after all is said and done. I told him I will join him with my letter writing. That made me so happy and thankful to Jah for all his help and giving me back my peace of mind.
Have you ladies checked out the shop hop for November on my website? You get a free gift with every purchase. Ten days left for this months specials.
Our two new shops need some sales if you could check them out I'd greatly appreciate you help.

I may have a set back, my doctor called last night to tell me I have a bladder infection and I will need to take an antibiotic to get it cleared up. This may set back the surgery for awhile, the knee doctor won't operate while I have an infection. I'm in hopes that it will get cleared up and I'll be back on tract.

Oh goodness Connie! We sure will be praying for that. I know how much you want to get the surgery done. Waiting can often be so hard. Keep us posted and hope that you get everything situated. Yogurt and cranberry tabs help a lot with this too!! Blessings, Linda

We are up to our ears reorganizing the house for my niece to move back in with us. What fun! I go Monday to renew my driver's license and have my first appt. with SS to reapply for the SSI payments. Just a note to tell you, letters to your state Senator really makes the difference. I've had two phone calls from two seperate employees making sure I know what to do this time around. They are really jumping!
Hope you ladies are all doing well today and have a great rest of your Tuesday in peace.
