He Has A Plan For Our Lives, But.....

L lolI almost forgot out to Marcus and Lori. They were a couple of physical therapist from UIC that came to offer suggestions of assistive devices I could use. Marcus and Lori and pray that you will be encouraged by with my writings. Have a great day!

Shout out to Haley, who closed my make bag and zipped it up.



Shout-out to Sebastian who got me some hot water.  And, that's not all.

I tell you! Now that I'm living with an illness, I can totally relate to other people who have illness that totally altered our life. Yesterday, me and my caregiver were at Mariano's. I ended up getting a taste of hazelnut ice cream. Just a little spoon. I should have gotten more! Oh well next time!

The young lady at the register was named Khirian. After she got my card and saw that I was an ms activist, she mentioned her brother named Mecca was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis too. We all know that multiple sclerosis is different with everyone. Probably why it's so hard to cure. Anyway, due to the MS they found a tumor in his brain. She says that that guy still has a bright outlook on life, and he needs surgery.

Her little story of what the same di1sease that I have did to her brother, scared me a little bit. Her brother is 16 years old.  I pray for you, Haley, Sebastian, Khirian, and Mecca that you guys will have a wonderful day and be encouraged by my writngs!

On this hump day, I'm going to write about something I forget a lot and Joe reminds me a lot. Perhaps, this will totally relate to you guys who are fellow Christians.

And, that is this. Yes, God is in control of everything we do. Yes, I totally get that. But, what I forget is that God needs our help. He is no going to magically make what we want happen. He expects usm to work a little. Or, amaybe Lots? 

An example coming to mind now is my therapy. I am beyond
blessed to have my therapist. I love going to my therapist  because she helps me out and makes sure that whatever she has me to do, I will always feel safe. Many times not very comfortable but I'll always feel safe. She knows I want to be able to walk again. And, I know if I want to make that happen I need to work!

I am really blessed to have an understanding therapist. Sarah not only understands there  will be certain times when this disease is so crazy. But, she understands how stressing it will be for me to have to suddenly feel like not being able to make therapy. AKA she wouldn't penalize me for something I cannot control. Seriously, I might be too pooped to get dressed put my shoes on and my jacket....Then I have to use energy to to get in the car. Seriously, it would be therapy enough just trying to put my shoes, jacket,getting dressd,etc.

Anyway, So, God, provided by therapist and my place to go to therapy sessions. That is what I'm talking about when I say God needs our help.

I'm thinking of when we first hear that it's a little mind-boggling. Because, we don't usually think of it like that. We don't think of it like God needing help. Right? But in this case I am seeing it totally makes sense. God would need our help!

Mercy Me: Move

What about you guys? Do you feel like God has provided something, that you kind of are taking advantage of. You haven't really utilized what God has provided.

Pause break before I end this writing. Shout out to Doug then thank you so much for getting me my hot water! I pray that you will be encouraged by the writings and you all have a fantastic day! Deep Thoughts
From Samantha out!
