LIFE --1 Hour At A Time!

They say that every gray cloud has a silver lining. There is also a scripture that says that ALL things work for good for those who love the Lord. ALL things, no matter how terrible. What an awesome feeling. Therefore, I have been trying to think of the good things that come out of tough situations. Even though I am confused about why God would finally drop this "cure" into my life, and then kind of take it away, because it caused a lupus flare, there have been benefits. At least 4 of my family, 4 of my friends, and quite a few blog readers have had their lives changed by D-ribose, so I feel as if I did help someone in this life, even from my bed! Each trial is just another lesson to learn. The pain that comes from a stress or crisis are only growing pains. Pains of change, stretching, exercising parts of your mind and spirit that you didn't know you had in you. I had to stop looking at each crisis as "Oh no, I can't take this stress anymore" and had to start thinking "Ok, so here we have another opportunity to learn something in order to grow and to help others, and I have help, the Lord promised to never forsake me or leave me."

I am feeling human again thanks to very low doses of prednisone, the lupus medicine I usually avoid like I'd avoid a poisonous snake, but even snake venom has some medicinal properties when used wisely.

It was my husband's and my third anniversary on the 15th, and still no honeymoon, but the legal papers are all in now, and I hope that's the end of the paperwork. Now we will get our day in court to present our case as to why to get my husband here from the war zone. Its in the Lord's hands now. I have pros and cons in mind for both situations, whether we win or lose. Whatever is God's will, I will accept and will know it is for my own good and part of my "mission" here on earth. I will still be in mourning if the Lord says "no" about us getting together, but I'll do whatever the Lord wants me to.

Blessings,
