Good Friday afternoon, as we approach Memorial Day, let us remember those who fought for this amazing country and lost their lives doing so.

UPDATE- Ladies, I am going to share with you once again that for some of us aging isn’t easy. I’ve realized that not taking care of myself when I was younger, working 2, sometimes 3 jobs (1) full-time and 2 part-time to live a certain lifestyle for my children and myself (not rich) just what was once called middle-class, period. I worked sick and only stayed home when my children were sick. Now, I am paying the price for that and genetics play a part in some of the issues that haunt me.

So, as you may know, yesterday I went to a Urologist, for a test run, but I’ll have no answers until next week. What started as a UTI with 2 rounds of antibiotics, remained and became very painful with bladder spasms. I was given some medication and its calmed those spasms, PRAISE the Lord, for that. Other issues remain, and they did send off to see if there might be cancer cells in my bladder, which I rebuke in the name of Jesus. I am not used to being sick one thing after the other until this year, it’s awful. I also am not weak I press on as much as I can, with my walking daily, Christian meditation, and other things that calm the mind so I don’t overthink all this year’s trials.

You know, let me share this with all of you, no matter what our lives look like from the outside in, we all have issues from today and things we still wrestle with from yesterday, and even years ago. I know, we have to get to a place where we can let it go. We give it to God and in our hearts, we mean it 100% but the devil creeps back in and will flash those past hurts in your face, heart, and life. He did come to STEAL, us from God, and our blessings, etc. If that doesn’t work he moves on to trying to destroy us, even kill us.

Jesus, is my HOPE, and there are times when my stress level is so high I can’t think through a given situation, and I have to say, Lord, help me, now! I had gotten myself into a financial situation in the past several months and it had me so stressed out. I went to work on getting debt free all but my mortgage, several months ago and I have let go of my wants, and had to take on the task of riding out these debts.

I am the type of person that gets in their mind to do it and I meet my own challenges head-on. I’m proud to say that I’ve knocked 2 down and have 2 more to go. I’ve had to give up extras and wants and some time needs to do this, but I got myself there and I have to be diligent and get myself out. I’m not sure if some of my illnesses are stress related because I have been so focused on making sure I stick right to paying all of this off with a deadline to do it. So, I might slack up on myself a bit for a while on that. I just thought ok, being debt free all but my mortgage for once in 40 years would feel amazing. I wanted to experience that, and I am getting there.

I’ve been asking God to show me ways to get behind my mortgage and get it off of me as well, and that one will truly be a God thing. I wish I had realized when I was 40 that having your home paid for when you were 66 would be the biggest asset one could do for themselves when one retired and lived on a very fixed income. I’m there now but I think I sure waiting a little late, but know that I am not alone in this debt cycle. I am truly thankful that I have a home, so many do not. I feel so blessed to have the things I do and take care of what I own. I know I can not take any of it with me when God calls me HOME, but I also know it will have to last me until He does. Getting back to the subject at hand, it is stress that has caused my immune system to fail me. Quite possible, and I am working on that and praying for guidance from the Lord. I have had to learn that NOTHING in this life is perfect, and I need to and must stop trying to do everything perfectly and be perfect, I can’t and I am not. I fall short, but that doesn’t mean any of us that do are bad. It means we are human.

Continued prayers for those of you that have messaged me, and I’d ask that you continued to pray that God will heal my body, and make me stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally. Your prayers mean the world to me. Actually, that is the best thing we can do for one another as sisters in Christ is to pray for one another. Encourage one another, and help in whatever way we can. PRAYER- Wishing you all a wonderful Memorial Day.

Love,

Debbie

  1. Praying for good news and help in getting to the bottom of the problems you have been experiencing. Getting old is no picnic in the park, for sure! 🙏💕

  2. Thank you Debbie! You are amazing to share so openly. Prayers the dr finds your issues🙏🏼 I am the same age, like you I push through it all. But like you, not so much the last year. Tons of testing without answers!

  3. Remembering you in my prayers dear friend ❤️🙏🏻. It sounds so so familiar. Im dealing with several health issues myself which I’m sure is greatly influenced by stressed. Bless you! Just keep on keeping on❤️

  4. Thoughts and prayers for you each day. Stress can cause a lot of problems with the body. I know from experience that it can get you so down. My baby sister went to be with the Lord on the 15th. and it still doesn’t seem real. I was taking her to her doctors appointments at Grandview. She was only 64. She had a son pass two years ago and he was living with her at the time. She just couldn’t unsee the horrible way he died in her livingroom. She had several health issues. She had a massive brain bleed that occurred fast and got to the brain stem to fast for surgery. She passed and is now whole again. May God bless you, Debbie, with renewed health. 🙏🏼💖🙋

  5. Debbie, you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. The struggles are real and get painful. My mortgage payment is all I have that counts towards my credit score. Living on retirement isn’t easy. The essential things that I have to have are the only things I buy. The Good Lord helps me and is with me.

    I pray that there will not be any cancer cells anywhere in your body and you will mend and heal and you will feel better soon. Love you my sweet friend. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

  6. Continued prayers for your health to be completely restored and your stress level to be lowered! Have a blessed Memorial Day weekend, Debbie! Love you, Susan🙏❤️

  7. Debbie I’m praying for you, for your health, the stress that you’re under. God Bless you Dear Debbie, your Sister in Christ, Cheryl

    1. Thank you, Cheryl. I appreciate all the prayers. Sometimes we just have to say God can you hear my heart we get so overwhelmed by sickness, life, etc. He hears our heart, prayers, and sees our tears.

  8. Have a restful weekend, only do enjoyable things. Stress is a waste, just do what you can, & give the rest to God, all things through Him.
    The more I remember to rely on Jesus, the more gratitude I have for my faith, the more secure I feel.
    Since last November I’ve been plagued with one thing after another, covid 19, pneumonia, hospital, get out 5 days later bacterial pneumonia, (thank you God for antibiotics), hair fall-out, shingles, anemic, & big arthritis flare-ups like never before! Finally it began to calm, but how I
    prayed, yet it seemed like something new came to break me, but I joked with God, in Your time, not mine Lord. I prayed Jesus, as bad as it may be for me, I know others have it worse, but please just help get me through these bad times.
    He did, I’m pretty good now, (knock on wood), The Lord was with me through it all, so grateful. & The Lord be with you through it all, I’m praying for you too, Liz Adams

    1. Liz, we sound about like Twins with Covid, Shingles, Arthritis, allergies, now the UTI, and bladder issues. But, you’re correct others do have it worse, and we are blessed to know our Savior. Things will get better I’m praying and I have HOPE in Christ Jesus. I am glad to hear that you are better.

      1. I can relate s i got ill last may 21 will never forget that nightmare day…….on chemo therapy drug and hopefully come off it next few months….but keep telling myself that God cut off the root of the disease and it just take a little longer for the flowers to wilt… i am 7o and don’t know how i got here so fast lol…from healthy and strong all my life to last 2o yrs of hell……but the only suggestion i could give you if your home isn’t your everything…..sell and buy a nice double wide mobile in a beautiful park……..let someone else cut the grass and be free to go and not sure of your real estate but mobiles are a lot cheaper here in Canada than trying to buy an old old house for 1million plus…….Vancouver realastate is like New York…….i will continue to pray for everyone on here to have their lives back to good health mentally and physically and may God Bless you with Enough…….
