Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Day! 

Loving our weather...temperatures are supposed to hit 70 tomorrow :-) 
The last couple of weeks we had learned of the death of a couple of good friends...so sudden...so sad.
Life is so short...so live it to the fullest :-(  

This year we will see many changes.

Today, I go in for an interview for a part-time Volunteer Coordinator position.  I was contacted for this interview even after I explained my disability.  

I need to make sure I take care of myself so if it is meant to be, the door will open.  Please pray for God's will. :-)

Tomorrow, is the Social Security Disability hearing...it took so long to get to this point.
I am not nervous about it...I have many limits and each day is different, some more difficult than others.  :-( 

Last year we started our search for a modular home for Paul and I to move into.  
We had someone come over to look at the foundation of the barn and he mentioned he had a modular home for sale.  We decided to look at it and now we are buying it.  So this spring/summer we will be moving into a home that will have everything we need on one level, with no uneven levels.  Paul is having a lot of trouble with his knees and hip.  We don't want to leave the farm but we want to make it easier for both of us and to have help close by if and when we need it.

I am so thankful for all I can do...

The Path of Spiritual Independence
By Charles Stanley
Read | Luke 15:11-24

Spiritual independence means living outside the restrictions of God’s will and choosing instead to please ourselves. As believers, we frequently take matters into our own hands, despite God’s promise for perfect provision.

Desires can blind us. We either want what we don't have or aren't satisfied with what we do have. We chafe at the constraints of our faith that call us to deny ourselves and obey God (Luke 9:23). Personal satisfaction becomes a priority, opening us to deception. The Enemy paints a beautiful, albeit untrue, picture of how things will be if we just change our circumstances. We start believing the lie that gratification can be found elsewhere and forget the truth that our life is complete in Christ (Eph. 1:3).

When this lie exerts influence over us, our ability to make Christ-centered decisions is crucial. Unless we sift our desires through the will of God and hold onto the truth that His grace is sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9), we will choose to act independently of Him. Though we'll make a decision that sounds right, looks good, and seems harmless, in actuality we are departing from God's good and perfect will. For a period of time, we may find delight in walking outside of His plan. Sin—doing what we want instead of what God wants—brings temporary pleasure but is followed by despair and, many times, disaster.

No matter how far you have wandered spiritually, turn back to the Lord. Like the father in the story of the Prodigal Son, God waits to welcome you home. In Him, you will find all you need (Eph. 3:18-19)

Looking forward to another great day....
