Impossible

by | Nov 15, 2012 | The Magnificent Journey

“For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.” Luke 1:37 In my Bible reading today this was one of the verses that seemed to resonate deep in my soul. Impossible, that word jumps out at me. Nothing...

Six Months Please

My heart began racing after coming home from my chemo treatment. I had such a good day then this happened. I of course went to the ER, I hate going to the ER. I hate having all these ailments that plaque my body, but I am still fighting to live a life. My heart rate...

Home Sweet Home!

A short post today, for I went and had my Rituximab infusion treatment today. Everything went well; I only had to be poked once. Strange what excites this woman nowadays. I was started at 25 units and slowly increased to 200 units. At 200 units is when I started...

Conquering The Beast Of Fear!

by | Nov 9, 2012 | The Magnificent Journey

As I unhooked the trach collar so that I could slip it off, clean it, and reinsert it back in fear appeared out of nowhere. Last time I took my trach/t-tube out complications happened. What is in store for me now? I couldn’t just forget about it and hoped it went...

Relationships!

Strange how when you start thinking about something it seems to hit you on all sides on a subject, the synchronicity is uncanny. A couple days ago in my journal I ruminated on relationships and what that means. Relationships are valuable. Relationships matter....

Recovering!

The start of day two, yesterday I felt so exhausted, slept off and on all day long, took things extremely slow. I felt as though I was moving in slow motion all day long, the simple act of walking felt like I was moving like Jamie from Bionic woman when they were...

Eating Poison!

by | Oct 31, 2012 | Auto-immune, The Magnificent Journey

I am finally home from a week long stent in the hospital in which I received chemo. How do I describe what getting chemo feels like? All I can tell people is I feel strange. I feel weak. I feel drained. I feel blurry headed. I do not feel like throwing up. Thank God...

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) A lot can change in a twenty four hour period of time, heck, it can change in a weeks’ time. Last...

Hope!

On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us. 2 Corinthians 1: 1 Good morning! It is 4:12 AM and I am awaiting my day to start. Today is a big day for me. I am having another surgery to get the stitches out of my throat, putting in a uncuffed trach...

Unexpected!

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. ~ Philippians 1:6, NLT Once again what I expected to happen with my surgery is not what happened. I was supposed to...

“I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds around my neck.” Emma Goldman My sentiments exactly Mrs. Goldman, I am not a diamond kind of gal, but flowers do bring up a sense of enjoyment and beauty. I am learning to enjoy life, not with the big luxury items such...

Tenth Avenue North

The last concert/show I went to was the summer of 2009 when I went to see Tori Amos and at that time I was not breathing so well and I was with a negative person in my life. Despite that, I loved the show. Strange how life changes in a blink of an eye and you gain new...
