Happy New Year Everyone!! I pray that all had a wonderful Christmas Holiday and were able to relax, enjoy family and be merry - I know I did. :) As we enter into the new year, everyone; especially churches want to put their resolutions, declarations, themes and mantras in the atmosphere, "All is well in 2012", "I'm not going to hell in 2012", "Pookie ain't going to jail in 2012" LOL - whatever it may be to get people inspired. Well, on New Year's Day, My Pastor, Spencer T. Ellis and Lady Tracey gave us a word and right now faith to go along with it; our message was, "The bleeding stops now", taken from Mark 5:25-34. In this passage, there was a woman who had an issue of blood for 12 years and nothing and nobody could help her. It wasn't until, she got in crisis mode, or experienced "Code Blue" that she got in the press and made her way through the crowd to just touch the hem of Jesus' garment. It was her press and right now faith that healed her.
In the last 6 months, things have been so unpredictable in my life, from my health to my finances. I just recently concluded a series of EPO injections and I'm still running back and forth to the Dr, because the kidney creatinine #'s are still fluctuating. Aside from the physical drain all this has taken on me, I am still dealing with the psychological aspect of having to still be going through all of this after all these years and now around the holiday. It was very tempting for me to get stuck in the state I was in, but I knew that wouldn't get me any closer to my healing, so I am pressing. I'm meditating now, which has been so helpful and God has shown me in just a week's time that he is hearing my prayers. I've made every effort to not be in neutral, my comfort zone, my state of existing in what I'm facing, but I'm in crisis mode and if I can just touch the hem; I will be okay. My source of bleeding may not be yours, but whatever it is, it's been an issue for you/I for far to long and it's time we press and get to the ONE that can stop the bleeding for good. Don't allow 2011's bleeding keep you stuck, check your gear shift - press and watch God work a miracle in your situation.
Fighting All Challeges Everyday (F.A.C.E.) with a winning and positive attitude is key to your outcome. I F.A.C.E. Lupus, but with God's help I am a survivor. Through my faith, prayers, support and most importantly a positive attitude, I have the victory. No matter what it seems like, you can overcome your life's challenges, because God has not forgotten what he's promised you.
