Only one side effect ....

This morning I was reminded that the battle belongs to the Lord.

2 Corinthians 10:4  ~  The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.


So many times in my life I had felt so convicted of a wrong doing by someone else. It was not right, not just, didn't they see it was wrong... I used to be bothered by it and now I take it to the Lord and His justice is so much better than mine. I have seen Him move mountains (yes we Italians are stubborn and don't move for anyone but the Lord! and I mean how He has changed my heart many times.) Many times in our unhappiness it is our perspective that needs a shift and then JOY is back. The Lord works it out if we just ask Him for help.

I thank the Lord for allowing me to see His work in so many ways! I am so blessed when I hear people say they changed their minds and are going to do the wise choice. I have seen the Lord use people who don't accept Him as their Lord and Saviour yet they still do the right thing. I am so glad the battle belongs to the Lord. His justice is far better than anything I could ever do. Thank you Lord!

I feel really good today. I am ready to face the day. The only side effect I have now is my taste is still off but I just keep chewing gum and it helps clear it up. I really do love not having to overeat. I pray He allows me to keep this!

Today I have to get Josh in to see a dentist as his teeth shifted and now one of his fillings is sharp and cutting his tongue. After that it is back to school. The field trip to Indian Hills has been postponed another week due to the rain. I love this rain! I am about ready to harvest my first broccoli crown and I can't wait! :-) Thank you Lord! What a gift from the earth!

Tomorrow is the Valentines party for Josh's school and then this weekend for us! It will be lots of fun. All the men at our church spoil the ladies. We have a potluck and only the men can bring food and goodies. And they bring really good stuff! :-) I can't wait!

Now that my radiation is low enough I am looking forward to hanging out with friends again. I have really missed that. I also have a date with my closet to give it a makeover as well as my the weeds in my backyard! I have about half of the yard cleared and am ready to get the rest cleared so I can reseed soon.

I am praying for my step dad and his eye surgery and for so many people with up coming hospital stays or just illness or hardship. I especially am lifting up the little ones who were born without organs today that are alive and doing well despite their circumstances but they need a miracle. Lord I pray for the miracle of renewed life for them and I pray for their parents who never know how long they have them for. It is heart breaking. Give them peace and confort as they wait on your provision. Lord God you alone are the only ones who can restore and heal their bodies. What a blessing they are to all of us that know them! Lord bless them with JOY every day.

Hvae a blessed day everyone!
