How I am Feeling This Morning:
It seems lately my depression is trying to kick my butt. I've been feeling really down in the dumps. Last week I was diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome, also known as Gorlin Syndrome. That explains why I keep getting skin cancer and could possibly for the rest of my life. I know it could be so much worse but I've already had 3 surgeries and I fear more will come. I do have faith in God and know that He has this. I go to the dermatologist in March and then we can further discuss my options but until then there isn't anything I can do. Also, my brother-in-law's father passed away on Saturday and he was such a sweet man. It seems there's a lot going on, not just with me, but with loved ones around me. It's been a tough season for sure.
On My Mind:
Ooops … it seems I answered that in the last question. See above.
On The Breakfast Plate:
I had a weak cup of coffee and a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I need to go shopping.
On My Reading Pile:
I just finished a book called Get Out Of Your Head by Jennie Allen. It's a Christian based book which discusses how to keep toxic thoughts out of our head and focus on a Christ-centered mindset. It was really great.
On my tv:
Currently I have on Amazon Music through the Roku and listening to Hillsong United music. I've been in need of worship music lately.
On the menu this week:
Oh boy, this one isn't complete. I have yet to sit down and think about what I want to make this week, even today's menu plan is a blank. I really need to do this and I really, really need to go to the grocery store.
From The Camera:
Looking Around The House:
I'm currently sitting on my bed in my bedroom as I'm typing this. The television in front of me displays the music from Hillsong that I'm listening to on Amazon Music. The room has piles here and piles there of things I need to go through. I am consistently on my kids about keeping their rooms clean but I should be taking my own advice.
Chore I'm Not Looking Forward To Today, Or This Week:
I've been trying to get our rec room cleaned for some time now. The rec room is where we keep all the kids' toys and they have soooooo much. I'm trying to figure out how to keep it better organized but it's become so much of a chore.
To Relax This Week, I Will:
Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Contemporary Christian/Praise & Worship and just spending as much time as I can in deep prayer.
On My Prayer List:
Healing over my skin cancer
My sister and her family as they prepare to lay my brother-in-law's father to rest.
A friend who is currently going through a very ugly separation
Just being thankful for the people God has put into my life
Our president, this country, this world … that's always in my prayers
Devotional/Bible Verse:
Plain and simple … "He is faithful" -- Hebrews 10:23
Wow, you have lots going on. Many healing prayers for you in regards to your skin cancer and the depression. I'm also so sorry for your loss. On a happier note, those votive jars are so cute! I'd love to read a post on how you made them. Hope you have a wonderful week.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry you have so much on your heart.

Sending prayers for you as you face this diagnosis. I, myself, battle heart disease at a young age. I'm always scared of another surgery there. But, I'm just leaning on Him and taking it one day at a time. Thanks for the book suggestion. I heard about this book on a podcast not too long ago and meant to check it out. Take care!
ReplyDeleteLove the mason jar candle holders! Praying for you. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got a lot going on, but, in the midst of it all, Jesus is there. Lean on Him. I am lifting you up in my thoughts and prayers here and am trusting the Holy Spirit to give wisdom and enough light for the step you're on. Love the mason jars! Blessings for a great week ahead!
