This is just a note to tell you why I seemed to have disappeared from my blog the last few weeks.  It has not been intentional.

I could just say that it’s because my life is so busy and I haven’t had time to fit writing into the cracks of time left when everything else is done.  And that would be true.  But it wouldn’t be the whole story.

The honest truth is that I am currently experiencing fatigue mixed with pain that is affecting everything I do.  I can’t seem to hold a thought.  I’m fearful of falling asleep at the wheel.  Everything seems foggy and in slow motion and I can’t seem to clear my head.  When I sit down to write, I end up nodding off.

I say all this, not to get your attention or sympathy, but to just explain why I haven’t been doing this thing that I so enjoy for people that I so love.  The spirit is willing, but the flesh right now is very weak.

I have an appointment set up with a specialist in a couple of weeks.  Until, then, I will write when I can.  I don’t have any answers right now, so instead of questions, I would just appreciate your prayers.  I’m not worried.  Just annoyed and frustrated.

If nothing else, God is using this as a time to slow me down and speak to me.  I know that He will use it as a time to strengthen the inside of me, even if my outside isn’t cooperating.

I don’t want to wine or complain.  If you ask me how I’m doing, I think I will resort to saying, “God is good.”  That will clue you in that I’m not feeling great, but don’t want to wallow in it.

I will post answers here, if answers come.  And if they don’t, then I will continue to rely on Jesus to be my “strength and my song”.  He is, after all, the final answer.

I miss being here with you.  Thanks for your patience with me and your support and encouragement that I receive from so many of you daily through notes, messages and emails.  God definitely uses you to lift me up.

Romans 8:28 – And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Kisses and squeezes,
