trials, troubles, ohhh my

I feel like a mess!  it is weird how things just sneak out from one incident to another...Life happens!!! No one warns you that relationships are hard especially if you don't want to keep the unhealthy patterns of the past.  No one warns you that life is hard when you try to follow the right path.
When it rains it does poor which is crazy...especially when you find yourself overwhelmed with because life is!
Well I don't have any wise things to say I feel like sharing that trials and troubles are apart of life no matter.  

Celebration time!!! Happy Birthday, 35 watch out!!!

Thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for my life!  That I am more than a statistic in Christ Jesus!  That I am alive in spite of being involved in the world of darkness for many reasons.  That I am more than a conquerer even in sickness for the LORD IS MY STRENGTH.  Thank  you Lord for being my song, for giving me a voice to sing and reason to sing your praises.  That in everystorm I trust you!  I love you Lord till the day I die and I thnank you for the people you have allowed to cross my path.  You know I ain't perfect lord so for all the times I mess up I see your face and you are true to  your word even in my weakest, darkest moment no testing has seized me.  I thank you!
To you my friends and to everyone!  For prayers, support, love, notes, calls, text, etc, etc (in my king & I voice)!  Thank you!  The Lord is amazing and I am sure that this 35th birthday the Lord will continue to bless my life and those around me:=)
 As for the job I will start as a f/t counselor at the Norris Square Civic Association nscaonline.org/ and I have to say that I am excited.  Much love and blessing to all in this New DAY, NEW YEAR to take advantage of the good things life has to offer. 
I am so grateful!  Thank you for celebrating with me in various ways.

Fighter Lyrics: by Christina A.....
After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end I wanna thank you
'Cause you made me that much stronger

Well I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you, cause it...

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Oh, ohh

Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh

After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanted to haunt me
But that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust, so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You won't stop me

I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There is no turning back
I've had enoughhhhhh

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Thought I would forget
But I, I remember
I'll remember, I'll remember

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Music and its expression

I am taking this Psychology class finally doing something for counseling that makes sense.  And, I am writing this paper about my life.... Should be easy right!!! But no way this sucks!  
but its interesting that as i preparing for my birthday and just a bunch of stuff music is helping me expressing myself.  Gosh!  the post of As I am by Mary J. B.   and artist like pink, shakira, reba and so many others help me to really feel what I need to.  I also know that as I think about singing hymns and positive music make such a big difference.  I guess what i am saying is that we need to revisit music and the words it expresses because it is important.

"The place to start is with a sober reminder of the consequences of sin. What happens when I fail to resist temptation? James 1:15 says, "it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."

I am so grateful to God that even when I am a Hot Mess, ever since I surrendered totally to Him and continue to surrender He Provides a way out.  I have seen how this month when I especially wanted to give up God is holding on to me.....The thing is we have to heed Gods' warning and not let the enemy isolate us!!! Our God is faithful even when we are not!!!!  Let's not lose our focus when for all we know t he blessing is at HAND! For we are all more than conquerors in Christ Jesus!!!
"

1 Corinthians 10:6-13 (New International Version)

 ⁶ Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. ⁷ Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”^[a] 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. ⁹ We should not test Christ,^[b] as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. ¹⁰ And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.

 ¹¹ These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. ¹² So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! ¹³ No temptation^[c] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted^[d] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,^[e] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Yana of all Trades.....

Well, it has been fifteen months of recovery, transformation and moving forward.  While I realize that things have change I refuse to believe that God has called me to be home like a blob!  I can cook, I love making desserts that people request for.  I love making my beads as gifts and some by request.  I also love helping people organize and plan; IE weddings, parties, etc.  So this is what I hope to focus on while I continue to learn what it means to deal with some permanent disabilities.  For resting is something I am still learning!

God waits...

Its been awhile.
Its been a lot to write in a public forum.
It has been a lot of things, kinda the good, the bad and the Thank you Lord.
It has been a season of pause, of reflection and what I most realize is that God waits for me to start my day with him. It is an amazing love!
God truly wants to hear my concerns worries and smallest of cares.  Yet, sometimes I tend to be so task oriented I forget.  Let us not forget that God is the the I AM THAT I AM.  While people fight wars, religious debates, families hurt all the while God waits for us to seek HIM!
PSALM 77 and 139
Take time to ask the Lord about your day!  God waits because God loves us!

Feeling to deep to write

I got a lot on my mind.  Its one of those times when you can be in a room full a people and still feel alone.  Or you just don't know wheather to laugh or cry....

I just want to be held........  Mary says it best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOGmtnChKec

It has been awhile.................

It is weird the things that make you think about how much time has passed.  My nephew is here with us; who is like the mini version of my husband which is bitter-sweet.  The last time he was here is when I fell.  Which was July 28th at 5am in the morning and I am so emotional about it...........

I feel like..... I am not even sure but 8 months is a long time to be dealing with Chronic Pain like this.  Yeah, I have always had health issues but this, this is insane.  I realize that I can't be anything other than me at this moment.  That I have to take care of me first which look like GOD, ME, and my hubby!!!!!!!!Then all the other crap.  Because boy people sure know how to bring you down.   I have to take care of me.   I am not trying to be selfish by no means because I know God has given me a gift of being a care taker but people sure know how to suck life and joy out of you.  I am speaking in general terms because for each of us it could be friends, family, television whatever.  I think sometimes we have to learn to Pause/Selah and think about things!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Why am I doing thing?  For who?  you know what are my intentions is this a relationship that is good for me?  All those things.  Life is short and the more we allow others to Sabotage we (if you your anything like what I am trying not to be) then you can really destroy things.  I believe that God sent his son to bring us FREEDOM; we are the idiots who make all these rules.  The Creator wants us to see we are connected and we need to love and respect and be kind to each other.  I believe that Christ is my Prince of Peace and if I put him first I will find my healing.  And so I have to set some real boundaries again in my life and realize once again that some people just love misery Search Amazon.com for boundaries

When you no longer have the choice................

It is weird because there is a lot to be said about choice.  
IT IS ONE THING WHEN YOU CAN BELIEVE IT IS  YOUR CHOICE WHEN AND WHEN NOT TO HAVE A CHILD.  BUT WHEN THAT CHOICE IS MADE FOR YOU.  WHEN A DOCTOR TELLS YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE NO WAY!  NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.  YET, MANY DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT WHAT A SURPRISE.
 
Whether you are a man and have problems with your sperm or the women being told it not healthly or physically possible I am not sure anyone but God can understand that pain. I  just think people think they understand but its hard to understand.  With God all things are possible but what if in the same way the Creator chooses some to be single and others to be married; what if he calls some to raise their own children and some to raise none or that of others. 

Just a thought.  I am praying for my friend, my spouse and those of you knew that know the pain of future dreams Greif & Pain. 

I am just not cured of all this stuff but I am free, I have hope, I have the love and light and I know that my Redeemer Lives....

This was my devotional this morning as I get ready to find out a lot of things including if I have to do another 8 weeks of injections and Bladder installations...... 
Cured or Healed? http://www.upperroom.org/Devotional/

Read John 9:1-11

[The formerly blind man] answered, "... Jesus made some mud, rubbed it on my eyes, and told me to go to Siloam and wash my face. So I went, and as soon as I washed, I could see."

-John 9:11 (TEV)

It is hard to wake up early in the morning knowing what I have to deal with!  Yes, I am grateful I am not dying but the pain sometimes sure makes me wish I was....  Then to top it off this morning is another bad day its been  a bad few days feeling sharp pains  as if its labor from both ends; anybody understand what I am talking about.  Then I am trying to make summer plans but can't because I can't even guarantee what I can do this week.  We got stuck in traffic in NJ yesterday and I missed my turn because of the new construction and not only was it a pain in the ass then it is NOW!  Its just too much and when people cannot comrehend how can you trully share.  If people do not get that I am healed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am free!!!!!!!!!!! I have hope.!!!!!!!!!!  But I am just not cured of all this stuff but I trust one day, one day whether that is in this life or the afterlife God will complete the good work he has begun in me; even if I don't get it so thats that!  

Now I gotta get ready!  Happy St. Patricks day!  Have one for me since I can't drink!  

Relationships....................

I know it has been awhile and honestly I am not sure I have much to say..........more because I am digesting it.  Today's devotional from Upper Room Ministries really spoke to my heart this morning as it talked about prickly people. 
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live." ), which includes my prickly neighbors, too.
I know we all have family issues; my own got a little crazy in the past few weeks; today's blog is dedicated to my Abuelita who by living her life has taught me patience, strength, consistent love, laughter and a belief in God in all things.  Loving our neighbors is not easy, especially when one is in pain, moody, or just not in a loving place.  It is hard to love family, friends and sometimes even oneself.  My big struggle has always been loving me and so being a Believer for me has more to do with receiving Gods' love for me and loving me.  All this stuff lately with this PTSD has a lot to do with learning to take care of me.  How to put myself first because I am so good at taking care of others and making excuses for taking care of me that.....................Well, there is no good excuse!  For I am to Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." This is the way God has called us to live Jesus said this to a rich man who had it all..And he said to him, "You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live." ), which includes my prickly neighbors, too.  It is hard but in this lenten season again I am just meditating on what about me and my habits need to change so I can be the woman God wants me to be.  So, today I need to remember I have to love me if I expect to love anyone!!!!!!!!!!! Even in pain, depression, etc I need God to deal with it all.  
So, to my Abuelita Gracias por tu amor y por siempre estando ahi por mi. Por tu fe en el Senor de como nina me enseno lo bueno!  Tu eres mi heroina hoy y para siempre!  TE AMO!


Celia Cruz Y Gloria Estefan Tres gotas te agua bendita
En la campiña sentada
Esta mi abuela, Luciana
Que aunque esta vieja y cansada
Tempranito se levanta

Justo al cantio de un gallo..........................


Y pa’ que nada le falte
En el transcurso del dia
Saca su pañuelo rojo
Y un poco de agua bendita.....................
Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Y se te cura el lumbago
Y se te aclara la vista...............
Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Con agua bendita, negrita
Todos los males se te quitan

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Y un poco de hierbabuena
Se curan las pesadillas

Tres gotas de agua bendita
Y se te aclara el futuro
Nunca te falta el trabajo
Y vas hasta el fin del mundo

Con el pasar de los años
Mi abuela no compendia
Que el mundo va progresando
Que existe la medicina
Que existen computadoras
Que existe la geografia
Que todo no se resuelve
Bañado en agua bendita

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Para el dolor de cabeza
No te hace falta aspirina

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Y un poco de hierbabuena
Te quita las pesadillas

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Pa’ que te cure el espasmo
Y nunca sientas envidia

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Pa’ que el muchacho de al lado
Te diga los Buenos dias

Tres gotas de agua bendita
Y se te aclara el puturo
Nuncia te falta el trabajo
Y vas hasta el fin del mundo

Con tres gotas de, de agua bendita
Para el dolor, para el dolor, para el dolor de cabeza
De agua bendita
Ay, mi abuela no vive
So no tiene el sabor
De agua bendita
Con tu pañuelo en la mano
De agua bendita

Para que nada, para que nada
Para que nada, te falte de agua bendita
Agua bendita pa’ ti
Agua bebdita pa’ mi
Y pa’ mi abuelita
De agua bendita

Ese es mi abuela
La quiero con locura
Y a ti tambien, celia

Playing with images................

I think the only one that as a child helped me use my imagination by the shows we watched and the stories she would tell is my abuelita/grandma.  She has not been feeling well and the thought of it all had me thinking about a lot of things so I decided to share with you.  I love my Abuelita she raised me and I have always admired her strength, tenaciousnes and humility.  Gracias abuelita por tu amor!  So here is a big secret, some days I want to be some exotic Greek goddess; just because!

The Phoenix rising.................
I used to read X Men comics and I was obsessed with Jean Grey and Storm because they both were complicated like me.  

http://graphicnovelscomics.suite101.com/article.cfm/xman_jean_grey  this site tells more about her background........

Jean Grey has always been portrayed as somebody with a strong moral background. Indeed, many of the pivotal stories about the character involve the inner battle between Jean Grey's innate virtuous character and the evil or amoral influence of the Phoenix Force which came to inhabit her body. Jean Grey has even willingly sacrificed her life so that she would no longer pose a danger to others. In the famous "Dark Phoenix" storyline, Jean Grey is said to have sacrificed her own life so that the world could be saved. A number of writers have described interesting parallels between these events and the New Testament account of the Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the Cross. These stories are not exact parallels, however, because Jean Grey's character, under the influence of the Phoenix, had a dual nature and evil/destructive component which is not present in the New Testament account of Jesus.

 Storm too struggles with the trauma of losing her parents that later her confidant Jean Grey learns about.
http://marvel.com/universe/Storm
Storm was initially very naive when it came to the customs of the modern world, but her team mate Jean Grey helped educate her in the ways of society and the pair formed a lasting friendship. Jean was also one of the first X-Men to learn of Storm's claustrophobia after the two women chased a thief into the subway.
After serving with the team for many years, Storm was appointed leader of the team following the departure of former leader Cyclops after the apparent death of Jean. Storm was initially unsure about her new role, but with the support of her team-mates she soon became a capable leader. When Cyclops eventually returned to the team, Storm found herself doubting her leadership abilities once more after a mission she led went wrong. However, she soon asserted her position, reminding Cyclops that she was now team leader.

Coping with life's obligations.............

Well, been fighting off a cold and today could not speak which could be blessing for others.  Seriously, here in Philly we are whining about the snow and inside me I am whining about my comfort level.  I mean it's not that I mind people asking how are you is that I wonder do you want me to answer truthfully...............
I mean who do you tell my vagina hurts or/and itches. 
Do you wanna know that I wish I could go bare some days because my underwear hurts?  do I share that before or after dinner. Am I supposed to whine and complain all the time, I mean I am hear and I am gonna laugh about it or cry but I can't please everyone.  Especially now as I try to figure out at 34 what the heck do I do with the rest of my life...............
How do I cope?  How can I explain my fear of no bathrooms; or sitting for long periods of time. 
How do I explain oh I love that you brought me wine but its acidic so I can't drink it. 
No thank you I can walk by myself you rude ass because you are being a speed demon.  I can't walk fast when everything below my belly button is screaming can I please get some  ice, heat, drugs............
Yes, as a Christian I believe all things are possible but I tend to believe that our bodies are Gods gifts and when they scream SLOW DOWN maybe we should.
I want to just go out, have fun not talk about me; I wanna laugh of course with my poise on...............
I want to have sex that does not hurt at any point unless I want it to;-)
I want to go to the bathroom and not regret it because it hurts so much. 
I want to do more but who can when  I feel like all I do and feel comfy doing is laying down. 
I want to be remembered but not suffocated.  This is why I seek help and know I need Jesus!
I want to cope happily, without regret.................

So I share with you because who knows what your going through but it helps me to read things others write about. 

Sorry Buddies, I cannot get over it!!!!

I had a wonderful conversation with a lady named Elaine today....and I went home thinking...
Why am I  always in a rush............. Why?
Why am I trying so hard to please others?
Why do I care so much about what others think? 
Why have I been treating myself LASTLY?
Why is it so much easier to give than to receive? 
Why do people expect you to just be okay when your NOT?
Why do I do these things knowing that the Lover of my soul just wants me to be happy and yet that is hard to keep in mind at times! 

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Its late so this won't be long but I met someone today that finally got me, read me, and understood my wacky way.  PTSD has been mentioned for like the last 3 years and I have to admit I been pushing myself to be whatever I am supposed to be but you know what I am not okay.  I will be okay because I am a survivor but one things for sure I can't keep taking care of YOU!   You whoever you are; I need to take care of me.  I can't anymore plus I don't want to be alone!  I don't want to be treated as if I want to be sick.  Yeah! People can't handle when truthfully my ass hurts and today I laughed about it.  Today it was as if it was a sign from God that its gonna be okay and no it is not easy but the important thing is that I remember its not my fault. 
Well, I don't think I can make sense tonight because its way past my bed time and I am in a lot of pain But.  I am thinking of my supportive and best brother ever who reminds me this is and always has been my theme song; love you Bro................. Survivor. by Destiny Child

(Verse 1)
Now that you are out of my life,
I'm so much better,
You thought that I'd be weak without ya,
But I'm stronger,
You thought that I'd be broke without ya,
But I'm richer,
You thought that I'd be sad without ya,
I laugh harder,
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya,
Now I'm wiser,
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya,
But I'm smarter,
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya,
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya,
Sold nine million.

(Verse 2)
Thought I couldn't breathe without you,
I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't see without you,
Perfect vision,
You thought I couldn't last without ya,
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without ya,
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without ya,
But I'm on top,
Though it would be over by now,

Even in my years to come,
I'm still gon' be here.

After all of the darkness and sadness,
Still comes happiness,
If I surround myself with positive things,
I'll gain prosperity.
