Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Sunday, June 9th

This morning we didn't wake up until 8a.m. So we were running behind schedule, church starts at 8:30a.m.  We got up and started getting ready for church but I wasn't ready in time to go so I told Paul to go ahead and go without me.  It takes me longer to get ready because of the pain I have and I'm just getting around slower.  I have swelling and other issues slowing me down.                            :-( Age :-)

For some reason today I am in extreme pain on my right side and swollen all over. Can't imagine it's the weather...we've been having cloudy and rainy weather for months.

I've been reading additional info on diet again and how it affects people with autoimmune diseases.  Some swear that changing your diet helps and orthers have said it doesn't work.Not sure who is right????

I have cut back on milk products.  That was hard for me, I love my milk with ice cubes.  I could drink 3 large glasses a day...somedays more. :-)
I have also been trying to stay away from anything in the night shade family or anything with sugar.   It's not always easy expecally when you have graduation parties and weddings to attend.

Following God's Will

By Dr. Charles Stanley

Abraham knew how to listen to God and follow Him—even when His commands were difficult or painful to obey. Although the patriarch made some mistakes, his life demonstrated remarkable faith and obedience.

The Lord revealed His plans for Abraham. He will be faithful to show us what He wants us to do as well. Listening to God is essential to walking with God (Life Principle #13).

Abraham’s Example

1. The Lord revealed Abraham’s future and guided his steps.

Note: Abraham (“father of a multitude”) and Sarah (“princess”) were originally named Abram and Sarai. For the sake of simplicity, we’ll use the names God gave them, which indicate their destiny as patriarch and matriarch of the Jewish people.

What did the Lord reveal to Abraham about his future (Gen. 12:1-3)?
How did he respond to the command to “go forth from your country” (Gen. 12:4)?
What fact makes this particularly impressive (v. 4)?
What details does Genesis 13:14-18 add to the original promise?
Why do you think God reiterated His pledge at this particular time?
God promised Abraham—a man with a barren wife—that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars. How did He view Abraham’s belief (Gen. 15:1-6)?
In Genesis 17:8, what new dimension does God add to His promise?

Another great day!
