- It was always in my heart to help people and a strong desire to bring them hope one way or another. As a nurse's assitant I tried to do that to the best of my ability for the terminally ill patient in the name of Jesus. God being first in all things in my life I was able to accomplish much through the working of the Holy Spirit in my home and church. My home being a refuge and home to others and the church as teacher of the gospel. I was able to take some theology and leadership studies and worked in outreach programs. I am hoping for the Lords strength to go back to expanding and studying other areas in leadership for the purpose of reaching the lost for Christ.

- I have chronic illness for a year and a half now, the hardest part was accepting the changes. Yet going through this process has helped me to understand others who are going through so much. I have definitly come closer to knowing Gods power in my life through this for by His grace I still stand and press towards the goal that is marked out for us. My faith has reached a highe level through this and its easy for me to believe that if He can do it for me He can do it for others. No matter what type of chronic illness we may have or what circumstance we confront, His strength can show through are weakness.

THOU SHALL LAUGH! WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
Laughter is an audible expression or appearance of merriment or happiness or an inward feeling of joy and pleasure (laughing on the inside). It may ensue (as a physiological reaction) from jokes, tickling and other stimuli. ...
What ever the reason we do laugh we don't get enough of it with all the troubles in this world today its becoming harder to laugh. There is so much saddness and anger and tears going around and so much fustration and "no happiness".

WHAT HELPS YOU? HELPFUL HINTS FOR EATING HEALTHY BY YOU THE SURVIVORS
Hi Cookie,
I eat normal except no fried greasy food. I bake, broil or BBQ.
Eat vegetables and lots of fruit.
No coffee! After over 30+ years that made a big difference in how I feel.

Hope my thoughts helped
