Tuesday, September 24th
Another beautiful morning :-) I slept all night in my Ned last night :-) So Happy!
Woke up to mattery eyes, swelling and an itchy scalp.
I didn't get a call from the clinic for strep yesterday but I figured out the sore throat was from a cold I caught...the cold started with the sore throat. :-(
As I move through my days. I find ways to express my heart's contentment. I try to keep a positive attitude, to stay upbeat, and enthusiastic about my life. :-)
I have so many blessings...
I was diagnosed with Dermatomyositis and Lupus around 1 1/2 years ago. It has been a long windy and bumpy ride but I'm feeling much better. I still have some of my symptoms but I am so thankful to modern medicine. If it wasn't for the steroids I would be in a wheelchair. :-( That is a very difficult thought but I want to give credit where credit is due...Thanks to the many Drs willing to help me when I needed it the most. :-)
So Thankful to God for Great Drs and modern medicine. :-)
I've been reading back through my blogs trying to figure out when my itching became worse...it wasn't my hair cut or color...it was before then. Now the question is how long do I want to suffer through the constant itching??? :-( I may have to call Dr. Danning. My next appointment with her isn't until November.
So thankful for all I can continue to do :-)

Today's Bible Study
The Lord’s Rescue Plan
Read | Romans 3:10-26
The Creator placed two people with clean souls in the Garden of Eden, but when Adam and Eve chose to disobey, their hearts became sinful. God had told them that the penalty for their sin was death (Gen. 2: 17).
Mankind’s first parents bequeathed their sin nature to the entire human race. So we are all born with hearts rebelling against God. Like a toddler who defies his parents by touching a forbidden item, we disobey our heavenly Father because we prefer to follow our own desires.
It is not our wrong conduct that condemns us, but rather the fact that our nature is corrupt. Whether good or bad, our deeds don’t determine where we will spend eternity. Apart from the Lord, no one is righteous—not a single person has done enough good to earn a place in heaven. But the Father loves us and wants us to live with Him eternally. So, before the creation of the world, He planned a solution.
The rescue plan was simple—a perfect sacrifice had to be made for mankind’s sin so that everyone could be blameless before a holy God. By accepting this sacrifice on his or her own behalf, any individual would receive a new nature to replace the corrupted one. In addition, the Holy Spirit would indwell that person to provide truth and guidance.
The sacrifice was Jesus Christ, who died on the cross, bearing all our sin. When we trust Him as Savior, our “flesh” nature dies with Him. The Holy Spirit comes to make our hearts new so we can find joy in obeying God. We are rescued and set free!
Another great day!
