 I went to Muncie today, just JJ and me.  Have you ever had that moment you really just needed a breakthrough with God, and it happens when you least expect it?  That was me today!    Life has been a real different journey for me lately.  With a fairly new diagnosis of my own health, learning the tests results, trying to learn the daily routine of what I need and then learning to cope with the fact my health is not what it once was.    I knew this bothered me, but I didn't realize to the extent that it made me struggle!  Today, as I was driving and listening to this song, something snapped in me.  I realized that my health issues don't have to bring me down.  The words to a song came on and started to hit me really hard!  This is what they said "There's a peace  I have come to know. Though my heart & flesh my fail. There's an anchor for my soul. I can sing it is well."   I haven't sang "it is ...

Turn of events...

My life has taken a sudden change... everything I once knew... it feels I no longer know.  I was admitted 2 1/2 weeks ago because of my aspiration issues and a Peg tube (feeding tube) was placed in my abdomen.  I went in with the understanding this was going to be supplemental... and I came out learning this was it... This was my sole nutrition.... The words NPO indefinitely were written in bold letters across the note from my surgeon and team of doctors (NPO meaning... nothing by mouth).  You don't realize how big that word Indefinite is... until it's placed on something major in your life.  This has been a hard road.  I have put on my bravest most strongest face I can... but there are moments... daily moments...

I feel so much better now with my health that it makes it all worthwhile but for me... for many... food is social!  We get together and we eat.... we have parties and we eat... we have victories and we eat... we go on dat...

I had some friends challenge me not long ago about doing art journaling.  I LOVE to draw, but honestly, any more, it is an energy issue for me.  My hands fatigue quickly.  So, I've been trying to think what I could do.  Abby (my daughter) is doing a photo challenge right now for 31 days and she mentioned I could do it with her.  I accepted the challenge.  It's been fun trying to help her learn and figure things out.  So, here's what I'm going to do... I'm taking on the 31 day challenge but I'm going to tie it into my journaling/quiet time each day.  Being a medical mama, my life is busy and I can promise you, I won't be doing 31 consecutive days, however, I will do my 31 days and see what we come up with!  So, day one:  Up close        Looking at this photo, I see broken.  Everything else around the broken area is a blur.  For me, I think this has been life all too often here lately.  ...
