Pity Party? NO THANKS!

I think it is pretty easy to feel sorry for yourself.  To get trapped in that place that says, "Why is this happening?  It shouldn't happen to me!"  Should it happen to anyone?  No, not really.  But it is what it is.  Once in a while I find myself losing my grip on my current situation.  Oh great... impending downward spiral.... I DON'T THINK SO!  It is far too easy to take the low road.  But that road, though easy to get to, is full of potholes, and robbers, and stickers, and cow patties.  Yeah, I said it... it's full of crap.  So the high road it is... I may slip a bit, but I always regroup.  It's a choice.

Yeah, it's a choice.  YOU get to choose your response.  What will you choose today?

The pity party I could opt for today, will take the energy away needed for the fun party coming up.  And that would just not be fun!

Party on Wayne.

Oh, that my life would be all it's purposes to be. :)

Seasons come and go
Circumstances ebb and flow
There is one Constant I know...
He created me. He gave me life and purpose. He created the passions that stir deep within, deliberately. I'm made to encompass Beauty. He is beauty. I am His, made in His image. The result of this is that I AM BEAUTY. His loved, cherished, precious child. What more can I do but honor Him with every breath I take, with every step I make. Without Him, life is empty and without hope. What an empty future I would have without Him! I would die without my love, without His peace that surpasses anything else.

Oh that my life would be ever focused on Him, in a way that draws people in and translates to them the love of the Father.

Oh Lord, spring from within me wells of joy, infectious, overwhelming and glorious!

Oh yes, let it be! I am free! I am happy! Lead me to others who need the same.

Hallelujah! Your love is amazing!

PART ONE: I can hardly believe I have not posted since April...

Wow, so the last few months have been very involved.  At times I was sick and tired, and unable to leave the house (while on certain meds), while others I was okay-though not great.  What a process!

I really don't want to hash out all the stuff that has gone on.  There has been way too much to post, and frankly, this kinda wipes me out.  :) So I am going to ramble on about what is going on now, and if anything that has happened comes up, then I will add it.

I don't want to talk about how I am doing right now, though if you ask and really want to know, I will be happy to tell you.  I just don't want to write about it.  I will say that my stamina has improved, and the body pain has gone down some to where it is tolerable and doesn't consume my every moment.  Not that it has gone away, but that I can better ignore it.

I want to stop going to the doctor and taking so many meds, very badly.  I am so ready to move on with my life.  Kinda like labor, I guess.  Yeah, I think so.  I think then I am going to push really hard right now.  It's my birthday month, and I intend to grab a hold of what God has for me, with all my getting.  :)

So I think I will talk about my intentions.  Yep.  That is what I am going to do.

I fully intend to walk out the truth of who God is and His promises to me.  His promises to me include:

He will bless the work of my hands.
He intends for me to walk in health and wholeness, in life and abundance.
He loves me thoroughly, truly and beautifully.
He thinks highly of me.
I am made in His image (and guess what, He ain't sick!)
He has a plan and a purpose for my life.
When I wait on Him, He renews my strength.
His heart toward me is good.
He will restore the years the locust has stolen.
I know He has spoken to me that His plan for me is on a large scale.  I fully believe this and will have a large scale benefits and blessings to those I come in contact with.  I think that is great redemption for what the enemy has tried to steal.  SUCKER!!  WRONG GIRL!!!!  Payback shall be FIERCE. YAY!
Once I overcome this entirely, I WILL NEVER CARRY ILLNESS LIKE THIS AGAIN, EVER!
He told me something special... "The longer you stand and contend in this, the larger your platform."  YAHOO!  I have been fighting for so long.  I have been learning boundaries too.  I believe that when all is said and done, I will have proper boundaries and guidelines with my time and energy levels.  Shoot, speaking of, I cannot finish this now... so it will become part 1.  I need to go to bed.  So I am off.  Thanks for reading.  :)
