The last few days I have been really struggling with what I like to call a Great Fog in my head. I can't think clearly my face and tongue feel like someone is squeezing them and the pain in my arm is crazy. Yesterday I gave in and went back to sleep. That does help, but not an option today. The harder I fight it the worse it becomes. So frustrating! I want to scream! You know when you have no control over what happens to your body it is a helpless feeling. The worst part is it is invisible to everyone else, but you know the war that is going on inside. I am so thankful that I am not alone on this journey. I have made so many new friends who are in the same place I am. Oh we don't all have the same symptoms and we all handle the things that are happening to us in a slightly different way, but I know that they are there if I need them, and that they are praying for me. There is so much comfort in that!
Bless you my friends!!
Off to dream land to get out of the fog!:)

Hope
Good morning! It is a beautiful day here in Middle Tennessee. I think Fall is right around the corner.
I was reading some bible verses today about hope. I got to thinking how many times the word hope appears in the bible... a lot! We toss it around when we speak to each other and I know we think about it, but do we really believe in Hope? I like to think I do, and as I read these verses, these promises from God, the God who loves us, I realized how important Hope is in our everyday life.
If you suffer from an illness that tries to steal your hope, please don't give up! These verses are why we have Hope!
Ps:31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all who hope in the Lord.
Ps. 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices: My flesh will rest in Hope.
Ps. 33:22 Let your unfailing love surround us Lord, for our hope is in you alone.
Ps. 39:7 An so, Lord where do I put may hope? My only hope is in You!!!!
There are so many more, but I hope that these will encourage you. When days are tough hope is what we have!
Blessings my friends!

Great Meeting
Tonight was a great gift from God. I have waited so long for this support group and now it has finally happened. We had 4 in attendance with 6 on the roll. I see how God has brought us all together for such a time as this. We will continue to meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month if anyone is interested in joining our group, it will always be open to new members.
Blessings,
