Storms of Life

                          I know I am Blessed,  I keep making it through the Storms of Life.

  Now my storms may not be very big to you. You might think that is nothing. To me and my family it is a big deal. I know if you said to me "Lets trade storms." My reply would be no way! I haven't any idea what your storms are, but I do know that they would be more then I could handle at this time. Now if you want mine-- come and get them. Yes! them, We are going through many right now. More then likely nothing compared to others problems. I work for the medical field so I know that there are a lot of people out there worse off then my family and I. The difference with some and my family is, we have the Lord to help us through it.

  My husband has four incurable diseases all at the same time. Now, now, don't start! God did not do this. Yes, He allows bad things to happen to us. He doesn't cause them. They are all under control with medications.

My son and daughter are also dealing with incurable medical problems. I am thankful they are not deadly. They are manageable with medication and prayer. Each handle their problems differently. My husband and daughter go to work every day and deal with things the best they can. My son on the other hand chooses to lay around and fell sorry for himself and allow his wife to take care of him. He needs a lot of prayer.

I have had my medical problem sense I was 13 years old. I have learned to deal with it. Some times it would get out of  hand.  My mom would take me to the doctor. They would tell her there was nothing wrong with me. I was just trying to get out of going to school. When I was 23 yr. I found a Doctor that listened to me. He ran some test and said. "My God, How did you even walk in here?" My reply was "very carefully". Then I spent 10 days in the hospital trying to undo 10 years of damage to by body.

 Now the point to this story is God was with me the whole time. See at the age of 13 I fail down 2 flights of stairs and broke my back in 3 places. But because I got up and walked even though I was in severe pain  no one except by mom believed me. The doctors wouldn't take x-rays. The doctor I had at 23 didn't want to believe me either, he took x-rays to prove me wrong. He didn't want to admit he was wrong, so I didn't find out until latter when I had to go back to his office. All he had to say was, I needed to go see a specialist. The specialist told me that by the time I was 50 I would never walk again. Now here I am past 50  years of age, still walking. No Pain, God took that away. When I was 24 God touched me and took the pain away. I still get problems. They are new problems. Being a cluts has not changed, so when they take x-rays the doctor says according to these x-rays you should not be walking. How do you do it? One way is every day I thank God for being with me. Some times I forget when I am at work and He gives me a little pinch to remind me I need to ask Him to help me get through the night. (I work 3rd shift). He takes the pain right away and I am good the rest of the night.
