sound familiar??
from 2 Cor 4
9 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed
....
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
for *whatever reason* the Lord has slowed me down... He knows I'm an eager beaver, who always likes to be doing something... going, going, going!.... and that I used to consider it pure punishment to have to "sit still" for long.....
anyway, my phys. body is taking somewhat of a beating.... I've bounced around from doctor to doctor... next up: MRI
My rt. leg & left arm have weird symptoms... can't explain well... but *pain* that just won't go away... burning, tingling, pain that moves around, feels like a permanent bruise. At first, I suspected neuropathy, but TBH, now I somewhat suspect cancer.... yep, gasp, the "big c".... now I don't know that to be sure yet, but it is def. under my radar screen of suspicion.
Then, to top things off... hahah {sometimes I think if I didn't find humor in things, I'd cry.... in fact, I DID cry when this happened yesterday}..... I was at my chiropractor's office & when he was lowering the table, my finger on my rt. hand got smashed in it.... as in MAJOR, MAJOR ouch!!! ... he felt HORRIBLE about it (but not nearly as badly as *I* felt ... hah!) ... it bled from the front and the back, it didn't break it, but it's all blown up like a tulip bulb -- red, black, blue, swollen, and hurts like the dickens....
just when you thought your *pinky* wasn't important!! ha!
not only did my eyes tear up from the intense pain (if it woulda' been a torture chamber, I woulda' been blabbing secrets all over the place!...
but the entire 2 weeks' of satan's attacks came crashing down on me!! .... a "when it rains, it pours kind of thing"!!....
did I just say satan? a bit ago, I said it was God Who was slowing me down, huh?
well, regardless ... even though I don't know Whom/whom to contribute it to... {well, yes, I do, but even so, like in Job's case, God allowed it} and it IS slowing me down, and I'm not on top of my game so to speak. Can't even keep up the house very well! Can't do diddly squat......and I sure hate that....
I'm stubborn.... I intend to keep on praising the Lord ANYWAY!!
Would be nice if I rec'd supernaturally healing though! Even so, with pain attacking me from one end to the other, with concerns of cancer, with a throbbing finger... I will remember that this is light affliction and in view of eternity, lasts but only for a moment!! {5 years from now this ain't gonna' matter!!} IMO, the rapture will come far, far before then anyway....
Thanks for reading & praying!

P.S. though it's hard to
type even with throbbing finger & ouch, ouch, ouch every time I hit the
keyboard.... but wanted to put my 2 c worth in... that I think the Lord may well
come before July 11th!! ... which is the "rest day" for you know who!!....
and IMO, there are many good reasons to believe Jesus will call for us this very
month. Don't forget about analog TV switching over to digital on June 11th....
how easy it would be for the AC to take control of the media at that point &
have his mug on ALL TV's across the world!! I'm with you all in that I think
this month offers a LOT of hope!! Perhaps we'll be in heaven before the month
is out.
