Shari 12/28/2014 2:41:45 PM | Hi everyone. The new year is coming. This is the year that I will get well! I have one more day to try again and one more day (365) pick myself back up after any/each fall. Last year was full of fear and frustrations with illnesses, my abusive stressful work, and later growing financial worries. I see too though that I learned so much about myself, got much closer to God and am making small life changes for 2015. Peter often says each "set back" usually leads forward to a deeper healing and this is how detoxing works. So I am keeping that in mind...while detoxing in life. Each day I try to stick to the diet, hydrate, take protocol timely, shower, clean and treat my body, and walk this out WITH God - I just need to continue to look forward into the future and that will get me there! Question is, what will I DO when I am finally there? I'm not going to say much more on here anymore as lately my posts with any negative feelings, thought connotations and struggles are not being posted. I will begin to post more of those on my own private blog. In conclusion, may we all do our best this year and run the hard race that this illness gives us with grace, patience and self control this year while remembering to lean on Him (the healer). I know I will. Praying for you all to have strength, comfort and more trust in Him this week, Shari |

Ruth 11/1/2016 6:25:39 PM | Dear Shari, I am so happy to read that you were able to get up and go out and talk to people! I'm sure that God is making a way for you and preparing a future for you that is bright in serving Him. It was lovely to hear you speak at the prayer meeting. The timing of it this week was helpful to me, at 10.30 p.m. instead of 11.30p.m. due to the UK clocks going back an hour. What you shared was so encouraging to me. I've been struggling recently with impatience and wanting to see more progress more quickly and of course that attitude leads to a lack of peace. I didn't say much at the meeting; I was in tears most of the time so blessed by what you and others said and prayed. |
