God Speaks I Listen

Ask my family and friends. If someone is suffering…. I am there for them. I will do anything to encourage someone!!! Every day I’m motivated when I get up to help people. This motivation is why I feel I’m still here on this earth. My husband has a genetic illness and every day I ask God for strength to be here to help him. I also want to be here for others.

I have written many books on dealing with suffering. I search out people on Facebook who are going through a hard trial and I send them my book for free.

This is just who I am. This is why I have a blog for over 14 years now trying to help other people and encourage them to keep going.

I pray for anyone who reads this blog and are going through a hard time. That you will have peace and strength to get through what you’re going through. IJN. Hang in there. God bless you!

I write to share my experiences with my faith and how I deal with my health and world events.

I don’t enjoy it because it’s so hard to do because of my learning disability. It takes sooo much effort to write!!!!

I do get satisfaction when I hear how my writing has helped someone.

Surprisingly, I do like answering these questions of the day and reading others responses.

The number one thing that brings me peace is my faith! That has been a real blessing to me. Surprisingly, for the past few years I’ve been writing books. It all started with blogging on wordpress 14 years ago now. This has been so amazing because English was my worst subject in school. I barely graduated from high school. Many of my blogs have lots of mistakes.

In the past few months I’ve written 4 books, 6 in total. They are about the many life challenges I have had for most of my life. It has been very cathartic and has brought me so much peace. Never in my wildest dreams did I think writing can be so soul satisfying!!! Thank goodness for WordPress, for giving me a platform to express myself!!!

I am 72 years old now. I’ve made it this far so I must know something. We all have natural instincts that has helped us with life.

Most of the time mine are very good. But you can’t rely on them 100% of the time because we are not perfect human beings.

Sooo, because of that we do make mistakes. We grow and learn from this. I do have an extra advantage now. As a Christian my faith and trust in God also helps me with instincts as I do pray for guidance. But being the human I am, I sometimes ignore even that wise guidance. These days as I’ve matured, I notice my life experiences have helped me a great deal.

So going forward I trust my instincts because of my age, my experiences, and my faith.

My favorite saying is “when you know better do better!” I guess the bottom line is…follow your natural instincts!!!

I have to KEEP rereading my own book I wrote. Why? Because I’m STILL going through a lot of hardship!!! I wrote this book to remind myself of just how I’m managing all of this. It was like journaling. Life can be sooo hard. I took lots of notes. Take care of yourselfs everyone!

I may be a little odd and a little quirky, but I am a person with real feelings and I have some insecurities. Having been bullied as a child and as a adult I just need a friend who sees me as a person and whose not judgemental. A person who will not take my behavior personally. A friend that’s with me for the long haul. Someone who can handle someone who’s been sick with a medical condition all my life. Quality I value?….A person who is CARING AND PATIENT!
