Really need your prayers as I am not doing well. Can’t lay my head down without terrible nerve pain which pain medicine doesn’t seem to touch. Seems to be getting worse and will see doctor this next week. So I sleep in moments here and there while sitting in a chair. Obviously not...

What helps you rejoice when you are going through the worst of times?

Doctor's visit today. He is happy that I'm maintaining my weight at 103 - and tells me not to worry if I do not gain. Weight gain should not be my focus now - just to maintain where I am. And for a month I've done just that. The mucus in my throat can only be HELPED (or not) by...

I have learned how to calm and quiet my soul as David says in Ps. 131. Might as well post what I do here, even the silly ones. Because there is a part of me that has some monsters under the bed if I looked long enough. 1. Keeping my eyes on Jesus - on how greatly I'm loved, and that He only...

Days seem to move so slow. And still much clearing of congestion in throat when I eat. The food goes down, but it is truly work. When I talk, my mouth is full of too much saliva and I have to keep it from drooling out of the side of my mouth by swallowing a lot. I feel like I'm...

I've never had to work harder at something! Therapists who have come to my home have given me so many exercises to do everyday. It really does come down to how badly you want to heal. Exercises for the legs because the muscles are so weak. Exercises for the arms with tension...

"According to your faith shall it be done unto you." I have come to the conclusion that our faith only SETS LIMITS as to what God can do in our life. But it does not mean that we will always get what we want just because we have faith for it. I totally had faith that my healing was...

I feel like I've been kicked while down. Just about the time I was learning to talk with a prosthesis from my palates being surgically removed after the cancer in my mouth, another tumor popped up in my neck. Surgery was last week and there is nothing left in the left side of my neck except...

When God Became a Man . . . Before the first Christmas, the world had no clue what God was like – or if there even was a god. Even though God revealed Himself through His creation and to the Jews He proved that He was good and powerful but that He demanded certain behaviors that would result...

If an unbeliever's 13 year old son committed suicide and asked you if you thought her son was in heaven, how would you respond? This is a question that will be asked of me in the near future. And I would like to hear from all of you as to the best answer. Thanks, Joi

I put up a new profile picture because I wanted you all to see that you can lose half of your upper mouth, wear a prosthetic (with the same slightly crooked teeth as mine were), and really still look like quite normal. This is the hand of God - revealing that He is in the restoration...

Read an interesting scripture this morning, "Sees our afflictions and KNOWING OUR SOUL in adversities." PS. 31:7 Yesterday in the Psalms I found David's words "My soul clings to the Lord". Ps. 63:8 And I realized that there were days when my faith in words just weren't there, my mind...

I was just diagnosed with cancer of the gum and mouth. Will begin treatments in a few weeks. Today I cried. Tomorrow begins gathering strength for whatever comes next. Thank you for praying. Joi

Blue Ladybug - this will really interest you. It belonged to my husband. I still have it sitting in the place where my husband always sat. Maybe others have pictures of real old bears.

Would like your input on this study bible. Have heard so much about it - mostly positive. I am considering reading it.

I'm in the middle of this huge fire in California, and was evacuated today. I know some of you are wonderful prayer people, and I needed to let you know I could use some. This fire changes direction every hour it seems since the winds are mighty and change all the time. We think it is...

We tend to think that there is always something that is controlling our life experiences. Some point to fate - some point to self – some even point to the devil. The Christian who surrenders completely into the purposes and plans of the Lord knows differently: They look at a mountain...

Lord, So many things I need to be saved from... My own strong will. It runs wild. The plans I have made, But not from your counsel. Saved from a heavy heart holding me down, From my eyes roaming to wasteful things, The ways in which I am quick to judge, From the lies of the enemy. Saved...
