I haven’t
written on this blog for a long time. I think there were three reasons for
this. One, my fibromyalgia grew much worse, two, I was grieving for my grandson
Jordan, and three, my sister asked me a few months ago to join Twitter because
she was on it and told me it was fun. I could only stay online for about an
hour each time, but I did get to know many wonderful people on Twitter. But my
eyesight has been worsening and I had to quit except for posting Bible verses.
I have found reading online makes my eyes twitch, hurt and make me dizzy.
I’ve learned
many things this year from God. I’m so grateful to him for being with me,
teaching me and bringing me great comfort.
I don’t know
what to write about tonight so I guess I will tell you about a book I read, “Look
for Me There”, by Luke Russert. It’s a wonderful book, even though I couldn’t
listen (I need audio books) to the middle of the book when he visited
Hiroshima, Nazi concentration camps and genocide story from Zimbabwe. I have
read about these things before and can’t bear to any longer. So, I read the
first part and last part of his journey to find himself and grapple with his
father’s death.
I could
understand why his father’s dearth was so hard for him. He admired and loved
his father so much, and for good reason. My favorite part of the book was its
ending, (Spoiler Alert) when he goes to the Holy Land, prompted by a voice
inside himself. Some days after he got there, when he was praying to Jesus
about how he wanted to know his purpose in life and what he should do. He felt a shaking and heard a voice saying, “Keep
praying.” Of course I’m not explaining it very well, you would have to read the
book yourself to understand. What I do know is that answer from God rings true
to me.
This is how
God speaks to me, when he does. Short and to the point. No long explanations of
what to do, where to go and what the future holds. I’m sure God speaks
differently to each Christian, but this is how he speaks to my sister, Liz, and
to me.
My
fibromyalgia has been getting better since my sister advised me to try Omega
3-6-9 pills. The have fish oil and other ingredients that are supposed to make
your muscles stronger. I’ve been taking them a month and I’m happy to say they
are indeed making my legs stronger and also lessening my fatigue.
It isn’t
hard on me to type. It is looking at the computer screen and reading that is
hard. Anyway, Love to all of you, May the Lord bless your lives, and give you
peace, hope and love.
