Wisdom from the Word (and a few thoughts from me)

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. (Proverbs 18:10 KJV)

~Safety! Great concept that many people are longing for.

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. (Proverbs 18:13 KJV)

~We've all heard that we need to think before we speak but how often do we hear that we need to listen before we speak? If we don't know the whole story, perhaps we should abstain from speaking.

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24 KJV)

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. (Proverbs 19:5 KJV)

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. (Proverbs 19:9 KJV)

~There's something to be said about God repeating Himself.

Operator's Story-FMS-Part 1

My Amazing Journey-the beginning of the Operator's story

September 7, 2009, is a day etched in my memory, a turning point for my life. Hopeless is the choice word to describe my life physically, emotionally, and mentally. Living with the chronic pain of fibromyalgia had taken its toll on me. Only two things kept me functioning-my faith in Jesus and my sheer stubbornness.

Fibromyalgia had impacted my life in such a way that my life style had changed, my thought process was altered, and even my personality was transformed. That disease had slowly impacted my life in such subtle ways that I had not realized it until after my amazing journey had begun. In fact, I am continuing to see areas in my life where fibromyalgia had changed me.

My life is dramatically improving thanks to a friend who had compassion for me. My friend, Jake Witte, told me that he could change my life if I would let him. I am so thankful that Jake saw a need and knew how to help me. He introduced me to Zija--the miracle tree product. After only three days of consuming Zija, the first result I had was energy. When you have fibromyalgia, one struggle you endure is fatigue. The fatigue I faced was caused by the combination of not sleeping well (which Zija has also take care of) and the constant battle with pain.

Growth

Life is about growing; if you're not growing, you're dying. Because I choose life, I choose growth. I don't know about the rest of you out there, but for me, I learn lessons the best when they are hard. Since the lessons are sometimes hard, I work to not repeat them. This blog will be filled with my times of growth, which will cover growing spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, and socially. Join me on my journey!
