Exhausted...

Anyone else exhausted??? I am completely and utterly exhausted. It's hard to realize what a medicine can do to you. This immunosuppressive seems to be causing some anemia and that just wreaks havoc on my body. It causes me to have tachycardia, very achy legs, shortness of breath, and extreme fatigue. But, it's nothing a little iron won't fix. I need to eat some spinach! ;) I love fresh spinach salad so I'm going to start with that. I haven't taken a regular vitamin, so I'm going to start that, too. :) It can be a struggle dealing with a chronic illness. BUT, I don't struggle alone. Jesus is right there with me giving me the strength I need for the day to day. NOT the strength to get things done mind you, but the strength to cope with whatever the day brings. He doesn't promise us physical strength, but spiritual strength. I'm so glad He is there to comfort us and keep us in the palm of His hand. :)

    It was a rough weekend. I did eat some steak and salad though. That did help quite a bit. :)

Do you make agreements with satan?

Many of us make agreements with satan and we don't even realize it. It may start out small like a small thought popping in your head. Satan fuels that thought with mores lies until you have made up your mind that you agree with satan. For example...I can't watch Dancing With the Stars...it is too much of a stumbling block for me. Why? Well, just look at them. They have beautiful bodies that seem to move effortlessly. I made an agreement with satan that my body is just not up to par. It's just not good enough. I went from a small thought of "wow, they are beautiful" to "I'm not that beautiful...I don't have those nice curves... I could never be graceful like that" Those are all satan's lies and I AGREED with them. Sure, I don't look like that, but I don't have to fall for the lie that my body and grace are any less good. But, to keep those thoughts at bay...I just don't watch it. Another example would be realizing your
