Hmm, have you thought....
OK, first things first....will be making payments on an EEG requested by the EXPERT and the EEG was "normal" even though I was jerking through the thing. I show no epileptic brain activity. To which I replied to the nurse, "well, was there a brain to show activity?" She giggled. Anyway, another "expert" shot down and I am back to MY DX which is Dystonia and Familial Tremors. So, there. Hubby, when I told him the results, joked and said "I don't know why you keep going to doctors." I quickly replied with a dead straight face, "It's my hobby." ROFLOL He lost it and said "You always have a come back." Well, at least my humor doesn't jerk wildly. LOL NOW - I will be the first to admit, my attitude has been in the tank for some time. Was so low that I could walk upright under a pregnant ant in a gutter! Now, honey, that's LOW. Anyway, the Holy Spirit was talking to me the past few days about my attitude and I admitted my wrong, asked for forgiveness, and help. So this AM I got up and those old bad attitudes tried to come in the gray matter. I began to think on what God says, Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. I then began to think about how God had everything planned, each moment, each day, each of our lives, each of our very movements BEFORE THE DAWN OF TIME. Ps 102:25 Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands. Isa 48:13 Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. I began to realize Ps 118:24 This is the day which Jehovah hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end. This made me realize that God's already got it all together so why do I struggle? I just need to TOTALLY SUBMIT to His plan and enjoy HIS REST which He gives instead of the discord, unrest and bad attitude which changes nothing but wastes my God given opportunities for JOY, PEACE, REST in unmeasurable portions!!! Now I am not saying there is some "magic" wand I waved but I did have to make a choice to DO God's word and not just hear it or read it. I have to do my part and applying the solution God has given to me. God & I are in partnership....He is the Leader, Lord & Savior of my life and as long as I follow Him, do as He asks, hold on tight, it will all come out ok. I only have fear and unrest when I believe the lies Satan whispers. It doesn't matter WHAT THINGS LOOK LIKE! The above verses prove God knew about it loooooong before I hit this planet, I am created for this specific time & situations, and my outcome will be good. What I go through may not be peaches & cream, but in the end, which is all that matters, the OUTCOME WILL BE GOOD. So, to all who are disparing or wondering what is the meaning of life......read the above again and again until you get it down deep so you know DO ALL THAT YOU DO AS UNTO THE LORD. His opinion is the only one that matters anyway! Big hugs & God's love to all!

Phillipians 4:8 has been impressed on me over and over this summer. If we live this way we will be satisfied, and those who live with us will be happier.
It is so hard to stay up with the Lord when the reality of pain hits, but you are so right we have to relax , surrender and submit and let God lead us in this dance of life!

Nan, the longer I live the more I realize that my Savior is CONSTANTLY WATCHING MY REFINING PROCESS and therefore, I will not be in so much \"heat\" that I burn nor boil over. He\'s just getting the gunk out. Not saying that the fire isn\'t hot sometimes, but it is ONLY AS HOT AS IS NEEDED. Love & hugs sweetie.
Yup that\'s what happens , we get the GUNK out!

Hmmmm, I know the Holy Spirit is listed as Comforter, Teacher, Guide, etc......not sure about the de-gunker. No disrespect. Maybe that falls under \"and He will bring all things to our remembrance.\"??? Yepper, that\'s probably where that job fits.
maybe the DeGunker is the fruit of the Spirit like fortitude and self control, I like that! He will bring all things to our rememberance, yup that goes right back to thinking on all the right things Plp 4:8. PTL!

Yes, I\'m really trying to pay attention to my \"attitude\" and my urge to fall into a critical/judgmental spirit. MAN CAN THOSE SLIP UP ON YOU! Like today we were at McD\'s and the poor cashier\'s thing for card swipes wasn\'t working, needed re-booted, it was crammed, and two older men behind me were gripping about the waiting, etc. I found myself get a bit testy then I realized to STOP AND THINK UPON GOOD THINGS, so I went briefly to my happy cove beach place that Jesus & I hang out at and took a couple of deep breathes, and was FINE.....just like that! I laffed when the poor cashier was so apologetic and just told him \"Hey, that\'s life.\" I was calm & at peace while the 2 men behind me lost all their patience, joy, peace, etc. Not saying I got it all together yet, but PRAISE GOD, I\'m a workin\' at it. Love & hugs
