Greetings My Friend,

I value my relationship with God and I work hard not allowing things to interfere with it. Recently I had an offer to attend an exercise class at 10:00 in the morning. For most people this is not an unreasonable hour, for me it is. I need a couple of hours to wake up in the morning, part of my wake up routine is studying the Word right when I get up. After that I wake up on line with social media, I need to see the flowers, birds, puppies and kittens that abound on the internet. I forward several jokes and I am refreshed with the Scriptures that come across the screen as well. I often finish up my quiet time with writing my blog or Letters From Janet Facebook page. I need this time for my mental and spiritual health and I have learned to protect this time with God. The rest of my day goes by rather well because I have spent time alone with God. With the stronger medication for my Parkinson's I also have more energy, the revival showed me that I could handle one more day of activity outside the home each week so we began attending Wednesday night prayer meeting last week I did very good and I plan on doing it again this week. A year ago I needed a wheelchair to go shopping with Parkinson's medication I have so much more energy, I do not need a wheelchair to get around and God has blessed me beyond belief. I don't know if I will do even more than I am doing at the present if not I am very good with the energy level I have. Because I been consistent with my time alone with God I have been able to "hear" what He has been teaching me to bring me back to a measure of healing and I am able to reach out to others through social media to give the hope I have which is Jesus Christ. God has been honoring me by waking me up early on mornings we have doctor's appointments and I am grateful to have spent sometime in alone with God before we head out for the day. With my 2 hour nap in the afternoon I have worked towards taking a walk in the evening which helps me get to sleep at night. Some nights we have cleaned up the clutter in the yard, our front yard and porch now are looking so much better as well. I asked Junior if he could see the difference and was surprised when he said he did not see it. I marvel that people truly can't see their clutter. Again with quiet time alone with God, Junior heard God tell him to clean up the front yard and God taught me how to approach Junior gently which did not make him defensive. I now am able to move about the yard better with my walker, I enjoy the more picked up state of the yard and Junior and I have grown closer together as a couple. I definitely love my walk of faith and cherish it. May God bless you and keep you make His face shine on you. Love Janet
