Jackiey,

I pray every night for myself, as well as those on NT that God will grant us the strength to cope and accept what he permits to happen to us. As I am writing this; extra thoughts and prayers are with you and your family this strength may be felt and be strong for all of you tomorrow.

Lord hear our prayers,

Hello friend, I am new here. I end my first visit with your wonderful letter of hope, love and faith.
I have RSD for 21 years and know that when The Lord is ready he will heal me. Untill that time in His book, I hope to help others and spread word of His love and blessings. And He will help me to continue my journey spreading the word of RSD helping CRPS folks and other pain folk who need some kindness and understanding. Good nigh to you and thanks for the night time prayer.

Peace& LUV, Andrea
RSD with LUV. Lending Unity for Victory.:cool:

Each of us regardless of walk of life, background, faith stature of any status have within us the means to take stock of our life to recognize We Are Blessed, if even that we breathed clean air, felt less pain, captured a smile in our eyes, smelled the aroma of fresh bread or the sweetness of the bouquet of a beautiful flower.

Today, I felt blessed to know in our family, more truths which needed to be shared came bubbling to the surface so the five of us who live together may work on the issues with hopefully better results than harboring resentment between our children one for the other.

We shared a very nice afternoon visit with my iwfe's brother and sister-in-law, who dropped by to take a look at our "new" house of several months ago topped off with BBQ burgers and conversation.

I shared wondrous conversation with a new mentee, my new Legal Assistant who will begin to work with me on Monday next, then discussed a new business proposition with a friend, a proposition which could bring jobs to others who need them.

For us, the approaching Dr Appt with my surgeon Monday morning to consult about fixing my neck which is ruining my arms and bringing uncontrollable pain and numbness to my arms helped each of us to feel the light at the end of the tunnel is approaching.

Then, I was able to hop on here and share this evening regarding so many happenings here on NT, one of these Blessings I count each day, just because we may gather here and lend love, compassion, support, joy, laughs, tears, and prayers for one another. Ahhhh, how blessed it is to enter this portal day by day.

I will be sending a message to Chemar, one of NT's blessed Administrators, asking her to bring our old Focus on Blessings to a close so this one may become the continuation of our sharing and hopes.

May God profoundly Bless all this day and the next,
Yup,

Lord we pray for Jackiey who has asked for your care,
for Eva, whose body is giving problems and whose family needs hugz and nudges,
for Andy whose SCS stutters,
for Ginnie who is silent lately, but needing help with her pain and with her home,
Saffy and Sophie and Ger and Rae and Pooh and everyone else who here hurts at all, like Jan who has decided to push off a decision about stim,
we seek Your arms of love wrapped 'round this group.

Thank you Lord for Blessing us with togetherness,

For rounding out your stop by with that beautiful note. It blesses me to know you found this place to be heartening! I love it here among all of these friends, and look forward to making new friendship with you.

Today I feel blessed because my lovely lady is preparing for a gift I gave her for our anniversary, a trip to Scotland with her Mom, Auntie, and cousins. She leaves Monday and is nervous about what to wear...... can you imagine? I feel blessed she is so much a part of my life these many years and we are able to send her.

Blessed,
Mark56:hug:zzzz:grouphug:

Much appreciated Mark

Thanks, brother, those prayers mean a lot. I know my problem is tiny compared to some out here and I know we're not to compare - our Father cares about the tinyest detail of all of our lives. I guess one thing that reading all these posts tells me is ... how blessed I am! And know that I'm praying for you as well as adding an "Amen" to the prayers for the others out here. So much pain/suffering...

That's been the beauty of my experience now. I literally had accepted that my suffering would know no end, would have no relief (it's gotten exponentially worse over the past 15 years) until I was with Him...knew that if that was His will it was for my good. Did I have moments of "I WISH THIS WOULD END!" of course...I'm human. But in my spirit I knew He was in control and had a purpose I can't see. And I found great strength in focusing on the countless blessings He had for me instead of remaining "in the dumps" because of chronic pain.

Then - He brings me SCS and...wow. Life-changing to the point I honestly have yet to fully grasp what I'll be able to do once I'm fully healed ('scarred in') from the procedure.

Welcome to our 'neck of the woods', Andrea!

stood in pool to long

dear friends

God thank you for another day

oh how i hurt
yesterday we made it to the pool
i was in my element two ladies
i have become friends with
the water was calling me
i was in only waist deep
for about 5 hours talking
with the grown ups
as i left and got to the
stairs my back ached like
never before each step i
took ever so slowly walked
over to my chair
and even more gently
taking a seat i was in
excruciating pain
and no swimming
as my body won't
allow me to do so
sad but it is what it is
my fingers were numb
i had no feeling in them
and my thumbs useless
it surprised me to no end
with the weightlessness
i never felt it while in the
water
to type painful
my arm over the right
side of the laptop
as it is on its left
and typing away with
my long pencil eraser side
can you picture it
not to mention i cannot
sleep with my two comfy
pillows
i am writing while i
wait for my meds to kick in
my head lays on my left upper arm
briefly then i type again
my love of people and a
place i can freely talk about
my Faith in GOD THE FATHER
my friend Mark who began a world
of bonding all over the world
hats off your heart is good
you are not about self but
others everyone who comes
on and shared HAS helped me
when i was at my worst i thank
you all keeping the Spirit alive
i trust you JESUS
it upsets me that my
family dynamics has been
in disarray since i could remember
i am distant from the woman
who gave birth to me
for she is defined by her man
and material possession
and it is what it is i still
mourn my idea of togetherness
it is 31 years since my dad
committed suicide
a shame and sad
makes me always wonder
his pain that he did that
i am blessed in many ways
and am closer to my GOD
than ever before
keeping the FAITH and coming
here to share
i wish all a good day
a pain free day
a day to reflect
and know we are LOVED
LIFTED AND CARED FOR
AS ANGELS WATCH OVER US

dear Ginnie

i miss you
how are you doing

someone who cares

Im so sorry to read that you are in so much pain, and how you write:eek:on here is just amazing. You are such an inspiration and I love reading your posts every day. Its so sad to hear how much you suffer and how much love you have to give. I pray for you every day and hope that you will have some kind of pain relief and that it comes very very soon for you....

Take care Eva

Jackie:hug:

I am glad to read you are doing better and are up and about. We all miss you. I did evacuate for Issac storm, as up until the last moment it was due to go right up the coast. had a good few days in the county about 40 miles inland. Now home and putting the house back together. I am OK, and in constant prayer for those that were in harms way for that storm. It could have been any of us on the coast. I have alot to catch up on as this home is now not ready to show. Realtor wants us to take down these big heavy shutters...as noone wants to be reminded what can happen down here. I don't intend to do that, as it takes days to install them, days to take them down. Not sure what I am going to do. Had shingle damage from the wind, but other than that, OK. It is hard to feel grateful we dodged this one, but that others took this storm. Very odd feeling. Take care all, will be back when I get this house back in order. Neruo Talk and all of you are in my prayers daily. ginnie
