Life can be a Pain

😰Phew, thanks Dec, shouldn't have to ask but know you'd be objective. Appreciate you, and try not to worry about your visit, maybe just tell her your concerns upfront. Sleep well tonight 🌷🌿

@Owlunar are you still around?

Hi Outlander, you stay strong. 🌷
@Owlunar, sounds like its under control really, and i am so impressed you've reduced your own analgesia. Gotta fond that balance. // Looked up your show 'This is Us" + looks interesting. What do you like about it most?

I've had a VERY quiet day, nothing, just resting. My back has settled, haven't talked to anyone all day and its very cold. Got depressed looking up online abc news, all the global happenings are bad 😞 so I put on a movie.

I found a dvd at the op shop - "Sherlock" (the modern series first episode) there's a couple of phrases that cracked me up totally: Sherlock was frustrated that the other police couldn't keep up with his brilliant mind, he said "oh my, what's it like in those tiny little minds of yours - it must be so boring" 😅😃😅😄😃 Then later he he meets up with farensic pathologist he doesnt like tries to contribute the obvious at a scene, Sherlock says
"Anderson, please don't speak out loud, you lower the IQ of the entire street" bahaha
I must be warped because these comments are so rude yet i laugh out loud. Guess i neef se laughter herapy a good belly laugh can help. Wakes the dog up too, haha 😉

I find those kind of dry witty lines funny too @Former-Member 🙂 havent watched sherlock, might have to put it on the list now.

@Former-Member i just seen ur msg 💕💕💕⚘⚘⚘

Morning guys
I just got a blanket email from an old friend saying her cancer has moved to her brain and she needs radiation and asked for prayer.

This was my reply, do u think its ok?

Dear R#, I don't know what to say, this is so hard for you, your family. Once scripture comes to mind. "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him" (Job 13) & "God knows the end from the beginning" (Isaiah 46). Our Lord Jesus has a way of caring for our eternal future, yours and those around you, somehow there's a greater purpose in this that we don't understand. Lazarus was resurrected for Gods Glory. Your children, because of your faithfulness to God, I know in my heart they will be ok, and do great things for the Lord. No matter what happens, God is in control. I will pray.
My mum mailed me a bracelet to give to you. Her way of saying 'I understand' I guess. My mum is a fighter too (cancer), but she lashes out a lot.. Mum has dropped another dress size - chemo is off the table for her re age & quality of life. She has outlived drs 2yr prognosis. Dad needs her. I have to work out what I can give that does not do me harm. Dads sister had a stroke recently but also defied the odds and walking again, at 84. It all just seems back to front for my head to get around. So the HS reminds me "not to lean on my own understanding and trust the Lord" (Proverbs 3).
The Lord has been patient with me, I have struggled getting on with life and His work. But I do go to a weekly ladies bible study, and a couple 1/2 days days volunteer at Op Shop here. Hobbies of late are furniture and sewing. Still trying to declutter, need healing in that regard. Get lonely and down, sad and unmotivated too much, most people don't understand. My S3 visited for mothers day for the first time since he left home (I've felt like such a failure as a mum) so that was a surprise. He's still angry with God about losing his sister and his parents divorce. Plz pray for him if you have the energy. He broke up with his 5yr girlfriend recently but holding down F/T work. Think he gets lonely (feeling 'all alone in the world' he says. So we never stop being a mum. My sister continues to snub me but I did get a birthday card recently. The Lord has reconnected me with a cousin, strong in faith and just what my soul needed with my own family not bothering much for me. Turns out my cousin appreciates having a Christian family member to talk to, and we've spent hours on the phone ptl. My health is, well the obvious - weight, spine degeneration really getting me down at times (pain), mood and heart issues, But kinda functioning. J still visits regularly (the only soul who has) and although I think she wants me to be 'more' - I'm eternally grateful for her and all of you there at #church, who took me under wing at most desperate need. I literally had nobody and not coping . thank you.
Better stop typing and get out of bed.
Take care precious sister in the Lord.
