A new reality....

-
Today I went back to work a different person. I love my job and the people I work with. I am thankful, grateful for the distraction of work but at the same time, I feel overwhelmed...not by work, but by the insurance paperwork, finding policy numbers, figuring out how to login to see my benefits, waiting to hear about scheduling. It takes immense focus to keep up the facade that all is well in my little world. Just Keep Smiling. I really don't want to smile. But, helping others can take your mind off of your own troubles and that is good.

I had my genetic test today. They were out of the spit tests, so they drew blood instead. I was in and out in no time and back in my car on the way back to work before the tears started.  They sneak up on me when I least expect it.

A new person started at work today and it's been a good distraction helping him get settled in. I am thankful that I'll have some help and not feel so guilty when I have to be out.

I'm waiting to hear about my MRI appointment. Praying that it's scheduled for this week. I'd like to get that over with.

I've bought a mattress and box springs for the extra room and we're picking it up this afternoon. Now I just need a bed frame and my guest room will be ready when it's needed. One more thing I can check off my list.

Today's Prayer Requests are not much different from yesterday's, but I do have one to add.

1. Pray my MRI is scheduled for this week & that the results are good.
2. Pray for good results from my genetic test.
3. Pray for my Boys today.
4. Pray for the anxiety/panic attacks to leave me.
5. Pray that I will be able to stay strong when confronted by someone who wants to ask a million questions. I'm not quite ready for that.

Thank you loved ones!

The Music Within Us

The Music Within Us Johann Sebastian Bach's life was marked by profound personal tragedy. He lost his young daughter, then three sons, and later his wife. Despite remarrying, he and his second wife, Anna Magdalena, endured the heartbreaking loss of four more daughters and three sons—11 beloved children in total. Many researchers have pondered how Bach managed to cope with such profound loss. How did his spirit not break, how did his heart keep beating, and most intriguingly, how did he continue to compose? Bach's resilience and creativity stemmed from his deep faith. At the beginning of each score, he inscribed 'Lord help me,' and at the end, 'Soli Deo Gloria' ('Glory to God Alone'). For Bach, music was a form of prayer, a sacred dialogue between man and God. Listening to Bach’s compositions invites you into this profound conversation, a testament to the enduring power of faith and music. In the ancient times of the Bible, the Levites held a unique and s...

Let Me Tell You About This Man I Love...

Sometimes, you just have to stop and recognize the amazing people in your life, and today, I want to take a minute to tell you about my husband. He is good to the core—fiercely loyal, endlessly kind, deeply loving, honest to a fault, effortlessly funny, incredibly driven, and insanely talented. Am I biased? Probably. But is it 100% true? Absolutely. And would anyone who really knows him agree? Without a doubt. He never stops thinking about his calling—always creating, learning, and discovering. I have no idea how he does it! I’ve often wished I had even half of his relentless drive—and his level of patience. Most nights, you can find him in his home office, creating click tracks, soundtrack videos, and discovering new music to bring to his ministry. We are opposites in many ways, yet so much alike in others—like most couples who balance each other out. I thrive on spontaneity, love changing things up, and admittedly have a quick temper. He, on the other hand, is calm, cool, and collect...

Promise Me...

A friend recently posed a thought-provoking question on Facebook: "If you woke up today knowing it would be your last day on earth, what would you do? Who would you spend your time with?" This question made me pause and reflect, as many of her posts do. She is incredibly kind, true to herself regardless of others' opinions, unafraid to try new things, and extremely intelligent and I admire her. Thanks friend. There is something I want everyone to know. I want my sons and their wives, my beautiful daughters-in-love to know. I want my future grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all future generations to understand this without a shadow of a doubt. If you're reading this blog somewhere out there in the future, know that if there is one core message in this blog, this is it. Please, read this. All of you. Promise me that if you don't know God in this way, you will think about it deeply. If you are struggling because the church has treated you or someone you love po...
