Today was a glorious day! I had my carpel tunnel surgery yesterday. I'm able to wiggle my fingers and feeling is coming back. Better yet no extra pain killers needed!  I went to visit my friend in the hosp today. She's been battling complications from breast cancer surgery since last month(more surgery done two days ago). The peace of God and His Joy runs out of her(she makes me laugh until I cry)! Another friend showed up and we had Bible study. The weather was great and I walked a mile taking in the sunshine! I caught a sale on soft ladies underpants(I can't pull up my expensive girdles with this cast thing on my hand), they were 99cents a pop and in my size(ha, lol)! Now I'm chillin on the computer typing with one hand and hay I'm faster than I thought! What a glorious day. Dear Lord, I give you thanks!

Smooches!

Dear Lord,

You are placing my feet in marching position today again and I give you thanks and praise! I am convinced that if you want the rocks to cry out they would. You are the potter and I am the clay. I did say to use me. Where ever you want me to go I'll go. What ever you want me to do I'll do. I truly believe you oh my Father do have a sense of humor.

My phone hasn't stop ringing lately with your precious sons and daughters with real issues and circumstances beyond beleif just looking for prayer, a hug, an ear, assistance to and from surgeries ( shall I go on). Your children are being shaken on this website, in the nation and across the world. Your people are losing their jobs and homes, are in mourning, suffering from pain and despair, deppression and oppresion. Everything that will shake is going to shake. I give you praise Lord Jesus. You are preparing a people in and thru a season of wilderness for your final coming once again. PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD, FOR HE IS COMING FOR HIS BRIDE! PREPARE YOUR LAMPS! HAVE ENOUGH OIL IN YOUR LAMPS!

As for me, my situation and circumstances have not changed, but Oh God I know you my redeemer lives. You have changed my heart! I thank you for your ever increasing faith, hope , love, joy and peace thru it all!

Oh what joy has come to me the last couple of days! I  met and visited a lady who is alive from a hit and run car accident! She had severe brain injuries and  was in a coma. It was Labor day when we(the group that was to play for an up  coming wedding)were there when he recived the call. Her nephew cried precious tears for his Aunt. He explained that she was his favorite auntie but the last couple of years had been very rocky. His aunt was on drugs and there relationship grew very distant. The family had been strained for various reasons. We all prayed for his aunt and for him and his family. God spoke to me and said I was to visit and give her a manicure. Sounds simple. I asked my friend for the adddress of the Hospital and her name. He was reluctant to give the information. He felt it would be a waist of time. I insisted. I prayed and went. There has been a great connection. She has been calling me, she has use of her hands, PRAISE GOD! She has a long recovery though, two broken legs, collarbone, head injuries. From Wed to Fri she has a body cast on her torso. She is grateful to be alive! I prayed with her, she aked the Lord Jesus into her heart and forgiveness. She called me and asked for a tunafish sandwich on white bread(Bless her heart! I made two with Lydia's Special sauce!It can make a grow man cry!lol) I brought her a salt, pepper shakers, a CD walkman with some great praise and worship music, a small bible. We read some Psalms together. I understand the pain and when God allows severe attention lessons to come our way! He just wants a little one in one time.

P.S

I've been praying for a lady I met( she was in the bed right next to me when I had the long hosp stay in 2007!) I haven't heard a word since Thanksgivivng 2007! She's another precious flower God  is watering, She called me today. What a delight! We will be able to keep in touch! Thank you Lord for bringing me joy!

Smooches, Lydia
