Pain No Gain
I have suffered greatly for 5 months with drs and ER that all misdiagnosed based on age stereotyping. If I have excruciating pain in my knees and I am 50+ then it must be degenrative joint disease/osteoarthuritus then as pain increased ER called it severe djd/oa. Every Ortho i tried to get appointment with couldn’t see me till March and April. I thank God for interceding by having Ms. Gardner with insurance co. calling me to follow-up on my ER visit. The call was just out of the blue. I told her my delimma and she got on the case for me, immediately. Even called and got me appointment within 3 days with Orthopaedic doctor with knee specialty. Also I have a new primary care doctor and clinic. Based on exam, ultrasound, and X-rays from other doctors, he says that the pain i was experiencing was not arthritis (only mild case of that) but said I have torn cartledges in both knees! Thus, difficulty walking and severe pain. He ordered MRIs to confirm. Next step prepped by my primary care dr. for surgery. God heard my son, my grandbabies prayers. And as I shared my testimony with Pastor Omie, she told me that she has been praying Psalm 70 back to God and personalizing it with my name. She was excited to hear my testimony knowing that God honored her prayers too. Thank God for praying folk all around me.
Psalm 70 (New International Version)
For the director of music. Of David. A petition.
1 Hasten, O God, to save me;
O LORD, come quickly to help me.
2 May those who seek my life
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
be turned back in disgrace.
3 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
turn back because of their shame.
4 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say,
“Let God be exalted!”
5 Yet I am poor and needy;
come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O LORD, do not delay.
You are on the threshold of spiritual breakthrough
You are on the threshold of spiritual breakthrough, and the enemy is frantically doing all he can to keep this from happening. You are a threat to his invasion. Watch closely for his intrusion into your life through circumstances, interaction with others, and even your own thoughts and emotions. Give him no ground whatsoever. Resist him at every turn, and he will flee, says the Lord. That is a promise!
James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Ordinary Days When Dreams are Born
Daddy Michael and Son, Arin 4
- Michal Zoe, 5
My granddaughter, Michal Zoe, at the suggestion of her father, my son, Michael, recorded
Nya Jo 4
her first CD of a song that she wrote. When I asked her, where the inspiration for the song came, she replied, “While I was in the bathtub. It just came to me, Grandma.” So i wrote it down. She showed me a piece of paper, with what looked like piano keys, along with words, she said they were musical notes and words of her song, Three Best Friends. She sang while she read her “sheet music.” Her 4 year old sister, Nya Jo, found the beats and background music on the keyboard. I found the melody line on the keyboard and served as studio engineer. Her Dad Mike, burned the project to CD. Arin, her 4-year old brother (and twin to Nya Jo), generously gave spiritual support. I gave her a special embossed lime-green CD case. And Michal Zoe, wrote the name of her first song, the date and year onto her CD, as she too, realized this was a milestone moment. Before Mike and the kids, left for home, I said a special prayer over each of 
my three grandkids, and encouraged them to keep making music. I must add here that Michal Zoe allowed only one other song to be recorded onto her CD. That of her musical mentor–no not me, but Alicia Keyes.
“Michal when you meet Ms. Keyes, be sure to tell her about this moment with your first CD in hand; just how positive a role model she is to you.”

Run Silent; Run Deep
I’ve been a bit silent. To be honest,I’m in what feels like is the most difficult process of my life–coming to grips with the aging process and how it is affecting my body.
I finally found a way to describe the pain that’s had me in its’ grip for well over too long. It feels like my thigh bones are stapled to jack hammers. With each step, such pain I’ve never known–including childbirth. It’s too soon! Severe DJD/OA. My body has very seldom failed me.
Did I not think that an attack on my legs was inevitable? Afterall, as a friend reminded me, “You’re the one trusting God and walkin’ on water when the ground ain’t enuf!” So I’m praising God with every step, allowing Him to put me with the physicians, He assigned for me in this season; and working to alleviate the inflammation and get me stablized. Of course, this has not been a smooth process, obstacles at every turn, but STILL I PERSEVERE–Still I am destined to win in 2010.
This is worse than AARP sending me a membership card when I was 49. It was too soon! None of it is too soon. I am right where I am supposed to be. So am I; perhaps so are you.
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
