Minor Setback with my Devics Syndrome

On monday my hospital free spree came to an end. I had not been in a hospital for nearly two years, prior to Monday. I haven't suffered any illnesses or setbacks from my Devics Syndrome/ MS since June 2010. But on yesterday February 27, 2012 it ended when I had to go to the local emergency room for some pretty bad abnormal pain in my back, neck, and right hip. I knew it was a result of the infection in my bladder and a way of my body signaling to me to go and get treated. I had a really painful experience and it was all because of this minor issue. My immune system is so active that it attacks everything not only the virus, illness, or infection. Thats why it is important for me to stay healthy and free of any type of foreign illness that my immune system has to fight off. Fortunately today after a round of IV antibiotics and some rest and relaxation I was able to return home after only 24 hours. I used the rest of today to catch up on some rest, and reading. I know this is a short post but I am going to wrap this one up and go to bed. I really need a good night's rest, but I wanted to share this experience with my blog readers.

A PRAYER FOR BLACK WOMEN

Father God because you woke me up this morning, you have already done enough. Should your grace, mercy, and favor extend beyond me to my needs and desires, I say this prayer for the Black Woman: Lord carry the load of worry on her shoulder. Teach the child obedience, and respect. Give her the strength and patience to place faith in you and not man. Give her the heart to love herself for what you have created her to be, and not for what man or society sees as her beauty. Lord when it seems like her rope of hope has broken or unraveled, give her the strength to reach beyond the break. Teach her to recognize the tricks of the enemy and know that the lure of destruction may shine like gold, and reflect like diamonds, but it will tarnish black like dirt and crumble like glass. Lord lead her to pray and ask God for strength and a renewal of faith and trust. Lord give her a smile when she has a desire to cry. Give her a spirit of submission to your will. Let the enemies see your might and provisions for her and make those that war against her, her footstool and the fertilizer of the ground which grows fertile blessings for her. Lord let your grace and mercy carry her through and let her always glorify, praise, and magnify the Lord. Lord I pull down the stronghold of illness, financial trouble, disobedient children, car trouble, workplace trouble, health problems, stress, disorder in the home, lack of faith, temptation, and lust. Father make provision for all of her needs and show her that you are the way, the truth and the light, and that all good things come form you almighty God. Lord I just want to glorify and magnify your name, Lord I praise you, Hallelujah. Lord I thank you. Father I ask all of this in the name of your son Jesus, Amen.

I'm my own Valentine

I know Iknow, this is going to probably garner some blank stares. Basically it is about teaching yourself to love yourself. This is how to be your own Valentine. Loving yourself is a great gift to give to yourself, and those who love you. The gift of love is a great gift to share, not just on Valentine's Day. I am blessed because God gave me a husband who loves me on a daily basis and does small things to show me that I'm his Valentine every single day. My husband is the main shopper in the house hold, unless it involves a beauty supply store. On Saturday my kids and I took a trip to the local Winn-Dixie and I realized that I hadn't been in the store since December 2009. I would always just wait in the car for my hubby to run in or I would try and get everything when we went to Wal-Mart to get our groceries. I didn't have to go to the store and this is one of those small things. He gives me so much support and strength that when I look in the mirror I can love myself more because of the person my hubby helps me to be. As a mother I can say that he is a wonderful father. He takes as much interest in being a father as I do in being a mother. He is very hands on. He helps pick out clothes, shoes, and acessories for the girls when we shop. he has also been known to buy mommy(me) an item or two. Which brings me to my gifts for the day two very pretty shirts that my hubby and kids drove 40 miles to buy just for me. I love you guy with all my heart. Thanks for teaching me the true meaning of love on a daily basis and not just showing it once a year. You all are my reasons for loving, and I love myself even more.
