hahaha, if only the world could be wrapped around the grand wisdom of Cristen, the world would be a much better place! haha
I dunno about that, really...but it would definitely be a more milkshakey place.

That was a really odd sentence to type out.

I do a lot of stuff that I am immediately like..."Nooooo! Whyyyyy did I hit send?!"
I wear my crazy on my sleeve...
Yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about either.
I think I need a hug (lol?)
Every time you tap in to the crazies, you get that bit tastier. Crazies is like flavour. You're just releasing your inner flavoursomeness?

Bah.
As the apostle Paul would say...I am tied between the two.
Staying here online and trolling for many more hours and departing.

.....................
But I can't sleep so I will just listen to the rain and.....wish I had some energy to make sleepytime tea.
Le sigh.

Searching4truth, what is making you feel disconnected? Do you mean in your life or on CC?

I don't know why I ever even attempt sleeping. I can faintly recall the last time I slept solid for more than 5 or 6 hours.
This has been going on for well over a decade. I'm gonna ramble,so feel free to skip ahead.
It' raining out..sky is almost pitch black & it's nearly 7 am. Perfect weather,save for the mugginess & it being in the 70's.

All this talk of milkshakes I read a moment ago. Unfair! Thinking I'd even settle for one with all Ugly's meds crushed up in it. Might help with the sleep issue...2 birds with one stone. Sleep & tasty goodness.

I love Bob Ross. He was so granola in so many ways...but his love & honesty came through in everything he did. I had a chance once to own one of his paintings. It would have been a pretty neat thing to have now that he's passed on.


I dunno why...but yeah....what he said!

I realize I've been sort of acting like a lunatic the last few days. I think I'm better now.

I've got to go sign a waiver today, stating that I want no part in the wrongful death lawsuit one of my older sisters is filing over my dad dying. I've been kind of avoiding it. Well, there's also been the issue of transportation, but if I'd really been trying, I could have found a way to get it done.
I really don't want any part in the lawsuit; I don't care about the money. I think I've been avoiding getting this done because in a weird way, it seemed like if I signed, then I was letting go of my dad for good. I know it makes no sense. It doesn't make sense to me. But by me not getting this done, I've been holding up the healing process for my sister who's filing the lawsuit. I think the whole thing is silly and spiteful, but this is her way of handling things and I've got to get out of her way and let her do it. And I've got to get out of my own way.

My favorite pair of capris have gotten a little snug. This is a tragedy. Now I'll have to like, exercise. On purpose.

You are right on the spot! I am seeking fleshly things to fill a void that can only be filled with God. I am trying my hardest right now to reconnect with him, though I know it is not my doing but the Spirit's doing...
.
So then your avatar is perfect. for you Rein in god by trusting God all in all, be still and hear. I (God) not me God just love you, and so now how does one respond to this knowing what I deserve?
Have you ever had this experience, when you did something wrong and you confessed it, to the one you did it wrong to, expected punishment and they gave you Mercy. how did or do you react to that?
Now take that to God and hear and receive the Mercy from God through the cross of Son? Knowing what you deserve?
And you get freedom, how will we respond?
Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

see King David was looking forward to this day in Christ to come into play.
And we today are looking back as is done finished, freed to love as we were designed to be before Adam and Eve together took part of the first doubt and ate, that you and I had nothing to do with, we were just born after the same similitude in Adam's loins, the flesh that wants what it wants at the expense of others, when focused on what it wants, has no considering of others, it just takes and takes

So today looking back at this we might see God's Mercy to us through Son, been made aware of right and wrong to choose either selfishly or lovingly to all, especially those that use us or abuse us.
But that does not mean we have to be a doormat either. or fight back in flesh, rather power in the Spirit of God as God leads, us for God does want us to be free of abuse, of any and all kinds. And many times we have to put up with it for a short while, even just an hour seems too long though

[h=3]Luke 6:32[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]32 [/SUP]For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.



Trusting God to show you how to walk in what you are walking in and be safe and secure in God no matter what the situation is,
love to you in truth Sister

Indeed it is difficult! I do hope you are feeling better. I will keep you in my prayers.:)



Perhaps you are right. I do tend to do that to myself. I have to keep reminding myself that everyone has a different walk and as long as we are following God and His ways, not one is better than the other.

Thank you :)
You got it, and a tree is always identified by its fruit. God's fruit is:

[h=3]1 Corinthians 13:4-7[/h]Living Bible (TLB)

[SUP]4 [/SUP]Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, [SUP]5 [/SUP]never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. [SUP]6 [/SUP]It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. [SUP]7 [/SUP]If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.

The above verses is what God implants in those that believe God, and this is implanted in you, by God already, we as we go in this world just do not always see this and or remember this as this world we all are in is still in turmoil
And is why Paul said:

Ephesians 6:12
For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies—the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world.

yet we think we are when we do not get what we think we need? see the battle and live above the circumstances maybe?

UPDATE ON HEALTH

Ok guys. I know i haven't updated as i didn't want to make things a big deal. But I am out of the hospital today, finally. Though there are still some prayer needs that would be appreciated. Here's the short of it.
Wed i have to go in for the day for more treatments. And again on Friday. Not staying the night just day time. The treatments take a few hours. They first give me an antibiotic IV, a steroid IV (to go along with the handful of steroids they put me on) and a benadryl pill (yes give me something that puts me to sleep and jacks me up at the same time). This takes about an hour for the IVs. Then they start me on the main medicine for the rejection issue which takes another 6-8 hours. Depending on how fast they feel they can introduce the medication.
The first day i had it rough as it seemed to lower my blood pressure, and already being on blood pressure meds, it became a bit much. So the next 2 days they skipped one of my blood pressure meds to avoid that, but, ironically, the medicine didn't seem to affect my blood pressure and it stayed up pretty high. Now i have two more days of treatments, so i guess i need to avoid taking the blood pressure meds again? Makes me nervous as my blood pressure was jack up pretty high on that med, so how bad will it get tonight without that treatment medication?
Anyways, next week i am scheduled to go back to the post-transplant clinic for a follow up and to give the treatments a few days to see if they hold steady. If not i'll have to go back for more treatments. If things remain steady then they'll just work on balancing my meds more accurately. I'm currently taking 11 medications now. The steroids are temporary and will taper off once things are secured.
The steroids though, between the pills and the IV make me anxious i've discovered. As some of you know i've battled anxiety in the past, so there's this internal push to keep feeling anxious. I've done pretty well keeping it under control, but any additional prayer to help would be appreciated.
In short the past few days have been way more stressful on me than i'd hoped. I've barely slept in days. Maybe 8-10 hours MAX of dozing (not really sleeping), since i arrived there Saturday AM. Its now Tue at 730 pm. I've been home for hours and all i could do was lightly doze, and keep waking up. And that was only about 2 hours. At the hospital tomorrow they won't leave me time to sleep. Once they start the treatment the first hour and a half they come in ever 20 minutes to check your vitals. Then every 30 minutes after a bit, then every hour. This is on top of any other things you need, they want. Taking meds, testing blood sugar (why??), nosy nurses. Doctors.
So the rest of this week is going to be rough on me. So any extra prayers you can must to help me would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry for drawing this out. I had hoped the three days would be easy and there wouldn't be much to report.

Thanks to those of you who have messaged me privately to check up on me. Sorry if i haven't always been highly responsive. But your inquiries were appreciated. Thanks to anyone who has prayed or will continue praying..
And praying you mi8ght see this to help in knocking blood pressure down.
once I was taken to extreme anger, frustration losing it, blood pressure through the roof, by a psychologist
And when he got me there, being right in my face, and ready to kill and destroy, hit the desk turn it over and go after him. he backed off and said now take your arms and hands down at my sides and breathe in and our and say out loud Calm, Calm, Calm as i did this, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and yes Brother it worked for me and seen it as well work for many.
Now i do not get me all flared up to become calm. just now anytime I see me getting started as to be flared up, I do that arms at side, fist made and breathe Calm, Calm Calm
Have been at the Hospital m,any a times since as you might have read what I have gone through as well, and had high blood pressure reading, and said lets do it again, after I calm down here in just a few minutes, and to their amazement and my thankfulness to God it calms down
So can't hurt to try it can it. love to you Brother and all
