Some days are just the best days, and today was one of those! Beautiful October Blue sky, slight crispness in the morning air, the sun is shining at its finest with just a few wisps of clouds here and there, our dogs were definitely raring to go outside and go exploring for "treasures" lol! I love the month of October not only because it's my birth month, but because of the start of Fall 🍁 and all the good and beautiful things that brings. What a blessing we have having the change of the seasons, I would really miss them if I didn't have them. Don't get me wrong because the older I get I dread cold weather, ice and snow and especially the freezing below zero temperatures. We have been very blessed the last few years, but the way things have been shaping up, I don't know what to expect this year. So I have been doing some shoots in some of my favorite areas and thought I'd share with you.

I am a blessed woman, I say this as God has truly watched over me as I have been struggling these past few weeks. I have an opportunity to spend some time with some precious family who is out of state, but first some things needed to fall in line with my health and my finances. Well when I first had the blood work done back in January I was doing well, but In February I started feeling really run down, just not myself. So The doctor did more Labs and yes, they were abnormal. So she it was decided she would send me to a specialist, Her office said they would call(the specialist's office) so I waited, waited, waited, several days.
So then I called back my Dr's office and relayed to them that they hadn't got in touch with me because they told me their Dr was on Vacation but due to be back but she would be behind.
So I ask my Dr's office if I could go to another hospital, but evidently she didn't want me to because I didn't hear back from my Dr's office but I did from the specialist scheduling me like two weeks away. Let me tell you I was feeling very poorly, and it was God's Grace and Mercy and the power of prayer from my family and friends that sustain me through it. I had to have a consult with the Dr first then she drew more blood which showed they were getting worse so she gave the orders for treatment. Great! But... Uh! Oh! We have another hurdle prior authorization with insurance required. So home I go to wait on a phone call from insurance so I wait and I wait. I get a text. Then the phone call comes later. It's through! So then she tells me well she is not sure she will be able to provide treatment to me before I leave for vacation so she says she will call me back.
So I wait this time only a few short minutes and she say I have one opening on Friday, May 6, 8:30 would you be available? I said "yes ma'am I would! And Thanked her for her time and kindness, and definitely, Thanked my Lord Jesus right then and there, so from
April 28- May 6 I got every done I needed with not complications with paperwork scheduling, insurance, or from the medication they gave me. I know that he knows what we need before we ask, but he still want the conversation with us He loves us fully, I tell you no one understands me better than my Jesus.
I just had to write this praise out, this is just a little example of His beautiful ways He shows His love.
Phillipians 4:13
Deuteronomy 31:6
Joshua 1:9
Psalm139
Proverbs 3:5-6
I don't understand all the why's of the waiting and the delays but I have to give Him the control He is my protector He can see a lot farther than I can do I must practice patience and self control on my part.
Is it easy, no. Will it be worth it Oh yes!💕

If you are seeking answers to a troubled life Jesus Christ, the Son of the true Living God offers you exactly what you are looking for. Seek him while He may be found. He's been waiting for you!

Have you ever wondered about those words you says to a person that is ill or just feeling discouraged? You know, those four little words, I'll pray for you, that can really brighten a person's day. But it can become real easy to let those words slide from our mouth but and not give it another thought. We have all done it. There is so much going on in the world now and the prayer list are getting longer, if you saved everything up for one big unloading on the Father, you would be there for hours and exhausted. And whoever's on the bottom on the prayer list I just say, "touch them, Lord," because I am so weary myself. So I just wanted to share with you a little secret someone shared with me. God is omnipresent, he is everywhere all at once, so there is no need to store up everything to where you feel it's a chore to pray or you feel guilty because you forgot somebody. We read in 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18, Rejoice, Pray without ceasing. Pray on the spot for that person whose in the hospital, you can even text prayers to people, Keep a prayer journal, just a little notebook of people and things you have prayed for and when you get your answer. Write out beside it. It will be a great faith builder, in those times when we get down. Now back to those times when we want some alone time with God, you have unloaded a lot of what you had during the day. So now you have time for some praise and worship and some self examination. And if anything had come up at the end of the day. But I tell you it will help you sleep better. You can set this up anyway that works for you. And you can switch it around. The key is to not get overloaded so that your mind and your heart are so heavy you can't function. In the Bible, Jesus said, Come to me all who are labor and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, For I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-30 There is nobody like Jesus, that can comfort the brokenhearted, heal the sick, and uplift the weary my friend! In times like these, people need prayers but we also have a trusting, confident, loving, everlasting Savior, if you belong to Him,
He is there, listening, and will be right there on His timing for our needs.

I love the Sunrises that God provides us first thing in the morning, it's the chance to start a new day. To give praise to our loving Jesus, who was crucified and shed his blood on that cross and died. He was raised on the third day from the grave so that we could have eternal life The 3rd Chapter of John is wonderful to read. I wish everyone a Happy Sunday ✝️♥️✝️
