This has to be the longest period of time that this blog has been without a post since it was created 3 years ago.
The verses will be back up and running soon. :)
Of course, y’all know you have the LORD’s Word in your heart and heads, and His holy Spirit within you. It’s not like you need these verses. You already have them with you, always :) That was a promise from God, and He always keeps His promises.
LORD, I ask that You bless every one reading this, and every one who isn’t reading this :)
Take care Margaret. I always appreciate your insightful Scripture verses. God’s peace!

Never worry about not posting though, we will all be here whenever you’re ready to post again. I saw your comment about a health issue and a trip – I really do hope you managed to have a small break away and make some nice memories, and I really, really hope all’s okay with your health (or as good as can be – you know what I mean). Thinking of you, Margaret. Be well. ♥

Thank you Caz. Yes, I did get to make some memories. I am hoping to get a post up about it soon but don’t know when. I haven’t even typed up the Bible verses that are backed up. That will be done first, then the post on my trip. I am just worn out Caz. When this stuff hits it is just debilitating. It took me all morning to clean the bathroom and bedroom. It isn’t even messy just the normal cleaning, dusting, sweeping, moping, sanitizing stuff that shouldn’t take that long. But I feel like I have ran a marathon. The LORD blessed me though. Right before the trip I felt great, and during the trip lots of energy. That was a blessing. How are things going with you, my friend?

Thank you for asking but don’t worry about me. I’m amazed you’ve managed to respond to comments here, and I/we all appreciate that and everything you’re able to post on your blog, whenever you are able to. It sounds like you need to slow down, take a breather and recuperate, Margaret. A trip to the supermarket wears me down to nothing so I can only imagine what a proper trip does! Rest my friend, take things slowly, no rush, focus on you ♥ xxxx

Not worried always have faith that you are doing the best you are able to do. But I like to hear it :) :) LOL at amazing. I didn’t feel so amazing when I had to lay down in the floor in the middle of sweeping and take a rest haha. It is what it is. I am trying to do better about it. Doing things makes me feel less helpless about this situation. If that makes sense but I have been taking more rest/naps even if I can’t sleep I will lay down and just relax, close my eyes.

Hi miss Margaret,
I noticed that you hadn’t posted in a while, and I thought it was either…you wanted a break from the blog world, or you were busy globe trotting with your husband.
Have y’all been doing okay with the new residence and situation?
May God bless you and your family sister. 🙂

Not going to lie Brother, I had been praying about the blog. With all the changes going on, I didn’t know if it was something that could be kept up with properly. Having said that, the LORD has a way giving us ways of trying things out, doesn’t He? My health acted up, so the blog wasn’t an option. Then we did take a trip, so again the blog wasn’t an option.
Everything is good with the new place. It’s comfy. I’m still getting use to the “all” of it all haha. Not use to so much, in every direction. Thats not a bad thing, just different.
Thank the LORD for His blessings and ask Him to continue to bless you and your family as well.
How are things with you? How is Melissa, and the family? How are things at work?

Hi sister, good mornin to you.
Me and Melissa are fine, and we are thankful for the many blessings that the Lord gives us.
Maybe consider this:
Make a post that you’re going to step away from your blog for a while to see where God leads you about continuing it or not.
That way you can stay gone for months or years, without having to field constant questions about what happened to you.
And if you ever feel led to return, your site will still be there to pick up where you left off.
And in the interim, the verses that you’ve already posted will still be there to minister to whoever reads them.
God bless you.

I was hoping things were easing off. Vertigo is the worst. I have felt on the edge of it for weeks now too, if that makes sense. Feeling like I am on a boat, and the storm is making the water rough but the worst of it isn’t hit yet. The before feeling. I am sure you know what I mean. But not sure if I am wording it right :) Praying you get relief soon.

Oh, I know that feeling of waiting for vertigo to hit you right between the eyes, My whole life has been spent with some type of dizziness. Doctors have never figured my dizziness out. Getting in a real boat would really do me in. Guess we all have our burdens to bear. Would like to get well enough to go back to church.

Living at the beach all my life, I didn’t figure out until I was in my teens that boats are triggers. Even walking down a few stair steps, getting out of bed, or turning around are triggers but those are a part of life. Boats are a choice. It’s the closest thing I know to explain how it feels. Unlike you, who knows that terrible feeling, most people don’t. My doctor is great but he isn’t a specialist. Funny(or not so much) the “specialist” don’t seem to know anything either, do they? One would think with all these medical advancements, they don’t know what causes these things.

Specialists certainly have never figured my dizzy problems out. You know the feeling where you stand on the beach sand and a small wave drifts in and washes the sand from beneath your feet – well I can stand on the floor and get that same feeling without even moving. I lay down and float as if I were in a boat. There is a big long name for the floating dizziness – Mal de Debarquement Syndrome. Knowing the name does not help the doctors at all.

I just read about Angel in your other comment. :( :( It is a blessing to be friends with a fuzzy little friend for that long, and even if we know it is near, it still is hard thing to deal with. You have the right attitude, and God rewards that. You give Him the glory and the thanks and put your trust in Him. As I said to you, there is nothing any one can say in times like these that will make it all better but if you need anything, I am here.

Yes, it is a blessing. :) And yes, hard to deal with. I lost five cats one year (from the wild cat population I took in) but I always had her to cuddle and that made me feel better. Now she’s gone.
I had two cats I could pick up and cuddle. One was Angel and the other was Monkey from the wild cat population. She died on Black Friday. Losing them both close together was extra hard. Sketcher, another from that population, wants to be lovable and she truly is, but I can’t pick her up and cuddle. The others are mostly tame but choose not to interact much. I also have to keep in mind that all except Jackie are over 9 years old so… yeah. It’s hard.
I would cuddle Jackie but I have no desire to bleed. 😂 I tried earlier today and she growled at me like a dog. I put her back on the floor quick.
<3 Thanks. :)

The trip was amazing. I did something that I have never done. Ok I guess several things that I’ve never done. BUT the one thing was going to another country and walking the a whole city. Most of it anyway :) All by myself. Just exploring and looking at everything. Everything was so beautiful, and old. It was cold but I didn’t care.
I was so thankful the LORD gave me the courage, and with my health issue causing me to be so exhausted all the time, it was a blessing that it wasn’t acting up while I was there. Praise the LORD.

That is good news. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers that you stay safe, healthy and happy in your new home away from home. Now you have two homes, the one you left behind that will always be there with family, friends and love ones waiting for you and the new home you are making together, creating new friends and spreading kindness (which I know you are) where ever you step. God puts us in certain places at certain times for a reason…someone there in your new environment must need some kindness right now.
