Sunday reflections

I’m feeling very reflective today, what spurred this mood is changes at Church. Our lead Pastor, who has been in that position for about 16 years, is handing the reigns to a younger Pastor. He will still be around, but focusing on other plans we have over there. It has been in the works for awhile, today was the big day. He will do fine as he shares the vision of reaching those who don’t know Christ.( A little history, New Hope started at the Division St. drive-in by Dale Galloway abt 1972, held Service Sunday mornings after cleaning up the Saturday night mess!)later on they purchased the land that they are now on. We’ve been going to New Hope for about 7 years, Pastor Ray has become a very memorable part of our lives. Ray and Janet had a son the same age as Alicia, and they all used to hang out at our house. The realtor who showed us this house we bought went to New Hope, and the Man who lived in our house used to work there! This house and New Hope were all in God’s plan before we even knew it. What brought me over there was some very trying times in our family life; I knew that only God could help me through. I went alone at first as Les was working a lot and showing our other house every weekend. But before long he was joining me, Alicia even went and was in the youth group for awhile. I have never seen so much love and caring and praying as I’ve seen there.
Change is something that happens so I embrace it and glad for all the memories. Hope everyone is doing well.
Love, Cathy

Positive News

positive news!
I got my Creatine Kinease results back today and it was normal.Not sure how significant. But it gives me hope and I'll take it! No matter what happens I'm better for it. I appreciate and love life so much more than before. I watched a wonderful show today called Live for the Moment. I'll post the link below this post. Watch it and have a tissue handy. But my tears are grateful ones; glad to be here and enjoy the moment.
Love you all, Cathy

TGIF

Thank you God for this week, and for getting me caught up with my Dental work. I've had alot of cavities lately, partly due to dry mouth. But I changed Dentist's, the gal I have now is wonderful. A very caring person and she's doing work that wasn't getting done. I spke up and asked for a new Dentist, the old one didn't listen to me. Hope everyone has a great weekend,

Humanity

As the United States and other Countries respond to the Disaster is Haiti, people are showing God's love in caring for the least and poorest. The infrastructure is slowing things down, but for the most part the Haitian people are showing patience and dignity. There will always be trails here on earth, but remember that Jesus told us this in John 16:33. He also said to take heart because he has overcome the world. Even in times of trouble that is a great comfort, to know we will persevere. Give some of what you have to help someone in need. It's feels so good to do.
Love, Cathy

I'm so thankful

I Just want to tell my family how much I appreciate all of the love and support. It means so much to me. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Love you all, Cathy

Pray for the people in Haiti

Everyone please pray for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Those are the poorest of the poor. The government has been a crrupt one, and it's the people who suffer. Seeing them makes me feel like a fool for complaining about anything in my life. Cathy

NBA Lakers Vs Blazers Game Recap 01/08/2010

Last night the Blazers, with six men out and no real Center, beat the Lakers at home for the ninth time in a row. Pure grit, just like I see in my brother Greg as he fights cancer. No wonder Portland fans love their team. Keep fighting Greg! Have a great day,
Cathy

Why all the violence?

I turned on the news this morning to hear of another workplace shooting. I just want to know why? If a person looses his job, does it help to go back and shoot people? I don't think so. I suppose it's part of a decrease in the respect for life. We see it in how the elderly are treated and all of the abortions preformed. God help us all. Nothing is so important to be that violent. It's important to forgive, no matter what happens. Cathy

What if?

I've been the same, at least it feels like it, for so long now that sometimes I wonder if the Neurologist is right about my diagnosis. The good thing is I'm not in pain. Maybe that's why it feels like it isn't that bad. But time will tell. I just want to be the best person I can everyday:) the only change has been slight shortness of breath once in awhile.

Timeline

Saw a Resp. doctor yesterday. My lung function is somewhat decreased but co2 and o2 levels are still ok. He tried to give me a timeline as to how things progress. But each person is different so that's next to impossible to do. I wonder why the Doctors do that, perhaps so that if a change happens it won't be a shock. But there have been cases where a person was given a few years, and went on for 10-15 years. I want to be ready for anything, but I will leave each day in God's hands, "if God sends me to it, he'll bring me through it." Love, Cathy

Found my Wedding ring

After being lost for 1o years, Sunday my wedding ring re-appeared! It was in the bottom fo a container full of old ink cartiges! Don't know how it got there. I never thought I'd see it again. Les see's it as a sign for me to be healed. It might be God's way of telling me somethning. I'm not sure of what, though. Maybe he's telling me not to give up. Or to believe in miracles. I see a blessing in my situation that I'm more quiet and sensitive to tohers. There are advantages to not talking so much! I can't yell anymore, that's good because I used to yell at my kids too much! Cathy
