Had an insomnia period, thoughts

Oh, let’s see… I’ve been very preoccupied with the fact that Diabetes treatment can be helped with a vitamin supplementation, and the thought that it’s linked to my winter SAD insomnias. Over the last week of December I started having strong issues with falling asleep and waking up much too easily, and it led to a jumble of confusion and obsessive behavior, including tons of self-study online about nutrition. I ended up buying a bunch of vitamins and changing eating patterns, and it freaked my hubby out wildly.

So I’ve had trouble sorting out the results of vitamin supplements on 1) blood glucose levels and skin health, and 2) mental clarity, sleep and mood. Right now the name of the …

It happened again!

I was still in a heart-leaping OMGwtfWheeee! state of excitement, and in my dream sort of wiggled to my stomach, so that I wasn't lying funny-prone while flying. Yes, flying, and I remember thinking that I should be scared of the highway pavement racing under me- but then again, it didn't matter any more, did it? I was flying! Floating, perhaps? Anyways, hubby and I were beginning to move towards the person in the sky- slowly, as if we were figuring out how to move ourselves that direction, and following. It was kinda in the opposite direction of where the van had been heading, but at that point we weren't even worried about oncoming traffic.

Dear ones, I must say that I am still quite shaken in my boots over the rather painful news Mike and I deal with today. We have saved for a 4316 kw/h electricity bill, and it is due in February as an 8,000 kw/h bill. We are $1,400 short to pay the upcoming bill...

Even masturbation, which everybody is all quiet on, because doctors and the internet and scientists and even a lot of christians will say there's nothing wrong with. You know, my grandma said it'd give you eye problems, but I betcha she didn't have a christian perspective on it...

A little miracle

It's one thing to worry about an expensive bit of equipment, but another thing to see a body part go plopping on the ground and have one's dog listen obediently to the 'no' about lurching. It's not a problem to repair.

… When we need answers to prayer.

A post from an online christian forum for a woman who needs a believing, loving husband. I was inspired to try and tell the story about my father’s prayers and answers to prayer for the very same thing, and much of my earlier personal story came out in the writing. It’s geared towards people in great need for answers to prayer and for love and fellowship. Encouragement, always… ~<3
Dear Brokenhearted,

Let me share with you my dad’s story, which I think will be a bit of comfort for you. <:3

My dad grew up in a classically blue-collar family where his parents went to chrch regularly, but didn’t have a born-again faith …

Psalm 23 – Personal study and notes

To fear God... he is absolute authority, power, creator, father, sacrifice -- the missing part to a life that feels empty, hopeless, miserable, frustrated, angry, depressed, stressed. He is the reason we don't live with real love in our lives every day, and why we struggle so hard to feel good about ourselves. Fearing God is knowing more and more of just who and what he is.
