I'm feeling better today, as I knew I would after some sleep. Thanks to those who prayed for me.

I got to take a walk today with my mom. Then later this afternoon, I got to relax in a hammock in my backyard. A good way to recoup.

I went for a jog last night (yes, learnt my lesson about jogging in the dark) and ended up tripping, twisting my ankle and gracelessly sliding in to the pavement. I lay down for awhile, comprehending what just happened before slowly sitting up. I felt the blood dripping down my knee and my elbow, and slowly began to pick the rocks out of my fingers. My ankle was raging with pain, and usually I suck it up and macho my way out of it, but I just didn't feel like being tough at all last night. I didn't want to take it like a man, I really wished someone was there to help me. Realising that the situation was I didn't have my phone on me, I started to cry. And I don't cry in public if I can help it.

I then hobbled the last 2kms (1.24 miles) home, nearly the whole time praying and speaking over my ankle to heal, and at some point my tears of pain turned to tears of prayer for the Lord to make His presence felt and close to me because I was feeling sorry for myself. He was there, and at some point I had the strength to walk at a fast pace the last bit of the way home.

A part of me wants to continue complaining about how much my ankle hurts, but a deeper part of me wants to see it miraculously healed. If you could pray for that miracle, that would be great!

Oh Arlene, this sounds terrible! Ouch! I'm glad you made it home. I'm praying for your ankle.

I just realized that I haven't been to the doctor since...2011? I think? I guess I should go for a checkup or something.

I also haven't gotten my hair cut in about 9 months. I should probably get on that, too.

I have all of my CDs, some posters, and most of my books packed.

I've been really achy in my legs lately, but then again, I've been having a lot of foods/drinks I shouldn't be eating/drinking because they're all right there in front of me, and it's all too easy to just be like, "Yeah, I'll have some." That'll teach me. -_- Now I need to make an appointment to get to my doctor and I also need to completely stay away from those things for the next few days. I mean, I'm going to have to REALLY restrict myself of anything processed or refined, and other things that might be triggers. (Yeah, this isn't going to be fun)

Ever thought this, our own desires, and wants could be in the way to waht is best for us and we ourselves bring on troubles that do not need to be, as we listen to others negative thoughts, sometimes effect us and bring doubts to the table and cause us to maybe not walk by Faith

Well, I'm starting to pack my room so we can be outta here by the end of the month.


I hate the new house. I'm sorry, but I do. It's like...there's anything and everything counting against it. Well, I have a place to sleep and it's not going to fall to pieces in the immediate future. Everything else is just awful. I don't know why we picked it and I can't wait to get out of it, and we haven't even moved in yet. The house feels so restricting. I'm someone who likes space, and there's anything BUT space in this house. But hey, at least is has a dishwasher!


I think I might cry.

Is there anything good, in this move? anything that is well that you can hold onto, forsaking the bad that you do not like?

It's permanent. They aren't going to move again unless some kind of tragedy happens that destroys the house. See, I wanted to move, just didn't want to move to someplace where I'm going to be cramped beyond belief.

And this is your foreknowledge from what you see and are predicting future here, and your emotions from this future is bogging you down to keep you from making the best out of the facts true or false Sister?

Things I have learned lately-

Oh snap, typing on a keyboard is pretty weird, not having done so since...wow, two months ago. Nice to know that typing is like riding a bike. I mean, it isn't, not at all, you don't have to pedal while you type...just...ok, yeah, so anyway...

Right right, things I've learned. Yes.

Stories mutate further and further from the truth at an alarming rate. Sometimes the story gets all skewed two or three people down the line, sometimes the first person to pass it on messes it up- it's always best just to go right to the source if there's something going on that leads you to want to speculate or assume things.

I've been kinda really like a spineless jellyfish (is that completely redundant or what?) for a very, very long time.

It's not all that difficult to just NOT be a spineless jellyfish. Who knew?

Three flights of stairs are killer when you've got two small children and a big load of groceries.

I'm not ashamed to admit I make mistakes, that I don't always do the right thing, that I may even completely ignore the right thing and go for something I know is wrong. I live and learn. I screw up, realize I've been an idiot, and go forward. I think, a lot of times, people expect me to be embarrassed about the choices I make- particularly the ones they don't agree with, or don't understand the reasons behind...and when I'm not...I don't know. I've completely lost my train of thought because my 15 month-old is standing beside me playing peek-a-boo with the computer screen.

Anyway, the most important thing I've learned recently is that I am not responsible for other people. Not for what they do, or say, or feel. I can't "make" anyone feel/not feel something. Just as nobody else is responsible for my feelings or actions but me.

Also, life without internet is...full of canvas and paint.

The end?

Awesome and welcome back Sister, and over it all, you are growing, god is teaching you truth over error, and I am elated over your discovery, yes Sister you are free indeed

I see more than healing physically here Sister maybe you do too, take a look deeper and I know you trust God, all in all, is there a deeper lesson, and as you see this your physical follows right with the spiritual healing that is being shown you

Malachi speaks of the sun of righteous Who shall 'arise with healing in His wings'.
