🦋How I Am Feeling🦋
I have had a hard week. Sle lupus is not for the faint of heart that's for sure. The fatigue is the worst of all. It makes doing anything hard, yet I always find a way to push through it.
Even if it makes a flare last longer. There has to be more than setting on the chase waiting for covid to ever be under control.
I want to experience adventure.... Not watch the cars pass as they go by....
Please pray for me if you will my ulcerative collitis has began to rear its ugly head again.
🦋What's On The Breakfast Plate🦋
This morning I ate a 1/4 cup of plain grits to see how my tummy would react and well it wasnt happy at all!
🦋On The Reading Pile 🦋
I just finished reading Redeeming Love for about the third time. Every time I read the book, it touches my heart even more! I also ordered the Redeeming love devotion and it is among the very best devotionals I have ever done. I most likely will do it again when I finish it.
🦋On My TV🦋
I started the white queen on starz. I really like so far it kind of gives off that reign feel.
My husband I both are watching the spanish princess!
Does anyone have some good recommendations I would love to hear them!

🦋From The Craft Basket🦋
One of my goals this year was to spend more time in my craft room! To get to the point I could sell some of what I make. I have to share this shirt with you! I am so pleased with how the finished project turned out!
🦋Today's Devotional🦋
God's love is perfect, He purchased our freedom at no cost to me. I am so thankful that even though I can not comprehend how deep His love is for me. I am however overwhelmed He would. love someone like me who doesn't deserve it. However, I am so thankful I feel His love and presence each and every day like never before.
I believe this turned out to be the most perfect devotion for today!💗💗💗
Please keep me in your prayers. After several very difficult diagnoses over the past year. All of my doctors have come to the conclusion my biologic I take now Benlysta has stopped working. So they just came out with a new biologic for lupus patients in October! My rheumatologist is going to try to get my insurance to agree to pay for it! Please pray this goes through with no issues. This is a big need, this is the bridge between the pericardial stripping of the heart in the future. Or keeping my lupus controlled so there is no more constriction that restricts the heart to beat properly.
Thank you ahead of time for stopping by! I know your time is so very precious. I don't take that for granted! I am honored you chose to spend a little of your time with me! I pray that you have a beautifully blessed weekend! I pray that we both find ourselves walking in footsteps of grace this week! From my castle to your's Happy Valentines Day!
Prayerfully Yours,
Shellie
Hello my name is jackie collins. I understand your difficulty as I have ulcerative colitis, fibromyagia, sjogrens and am constantly tested for lupus. I will add you to my prayer journal and will lift you up in prayer.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling up to blogging again. Thank you for visiting me. I'm glad to hear you're trying the detox diet. When I was first diagnosed with SLE many, many years ago the VERY BEST thing my rheumatologist did for me was to first allow me to decide how we would proceed after trying numerous meds for the first 6 months and second to advise me on diet. Flare ups were sometimes still quite difficult, but I could almost always trace it back to deviating from the necessary diet. Her advice: avoid all chemicals, preservatives, carbonation and sugars. If it's orange and not an orange or blue and not a blueberry don't eat it. Stay positive and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI have come and gone from HHMM for years! I absolutely love it but I get pulled away from blogging so often. I am hopeful this time I will be able to keep it going!
ReplyDeleteRedeeming Love is one of my all-time favorite books! I want to see the movie so so much! I can't wait!
I will definitely be keeping you in my prayers. I hope this week is going well for you.
