August 5 2014 Greetings My Friend, I don’t know why “God moments” tend to surprise me but they do when I experience them. I am in awe of all that God is able to do and I know He can do anything but that sense of “WOW!” continues to amaze me. Each day I ask God to put me and my day to His use for His glory. Many days I go about the day cleaning, loving Junior, the fur children and such. Then I have a day of amazement like I did yesterday. A friend at church knows someone who has my birth defect which is rare. We’ve talked a few times now. As she was going out the door she sent me an e-mail telling me that I should not see a Chiropractor. Many times I’ve heard this from MD.’s and frankly I’ve seen what they can do. Junior is able to be rather functional with his adjustments. With the shape his back is in the fact that he is able to move about like he does is amazing. This new friend mentioned about spinal fluid sacs erupting. So for now I will hold off. She also told me where she has gone for her surgery. I started researching and found a doctor that specializes in CM. I sent a message asking her if she heard of this doctor and he is her doctor. I must gather information and forward it to him but I am moving forward to get an understanding of what is going on. I have a cousin in Colorado and we have phone visits from time to time. There is a 2 hr. time difference so hooking up is a challenge at times. If either one of sees the other one online then we tend to make a call. Recently I’ve called a few times with no answer. This puzzled me but I also know she is a busy lady and we hook up when we can so I let it go. A few hours later I get a phone call and recognize her area code so I pick up. The caller mentions that I’ve called there a few times and he thought I might like to know I am not calling the number I think I am calling. We talk a bit and I recognize his voice. It is the brother or my other cousin. We’ve talked a bit here and there but I grew weary of his anger. I had that “rescue” feeling and I could tell he did not want to be rescued so I stopped calling him. I told him who I was and he thought it funny. I told him he sounds like a gentle guy and he said was unless people irritated him. At that point he lets people know how he thinks etc. I told him that I used to have lots of anger and Jesus has helped me to walk away from all that anger. He said he likes his anger. My guess is God wanted me to tell him how Jesus helped me and my anger. We talked a bit more and hung up. If I think further I’ve had other moments recently as well. I read that eucalyptus leaves helps with my COPD congestion. I had been in search of them and was not finding any. One day at Walmart I saw some wax melts that had the oil in them. I bought them and they are helping me a lot. Then there are the years and years of prayers about a relationship struggle I’ve had. Recently that relationship has turned around and we are moving forward. I am ever grateful for this renewed relationship. Many days I feel like I am not moving for God. The thing is that in the quiet times I tend to learn to listen to God more and trust forms within me. As I sit and wait and watch all of a sudden I see God working in my life in amazing ways. Again I learn to “Be still and know God.” May God bless you and keep you make His face shine on you. Love Janet
