How frustrating. I really hope they'll be able to figure out what's going on so you can feel better and be back to normal soon. I loved seeing the photos of the flowers. It sounds like spring is finally there. I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day today!Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-74152590864697543852017-05-14T13:23:04.772-05:002017-05-14T13:23:04.772-05:00Dear, precious Betsy! I am SO sorry to know of yo...Dear, precious Betsy! I am SO sorry to know of your continuing health issues. I want you to know that I am praying for you and believing God to heal this...whatever it is. HE is the Great Physician, your Creator, the One who knows every detail of your anatomy and composition. Since He created you, He absolutely knows what to do to heal you. I do know that if your Vitamin D is deficient, this could certainly be contributing to much of this. I had no idea how many things are affected in the body, until my own Vitamin D was found to be so low. I am seeing some improvement as I continue to diligently keep up with taking Vitamin D supplements. I do trust the Lord that they find out what is going on soon, and that He will just heal you and make you whole. Don't ever feel that you cannot be real and honest here...life isn't always happy, happy, happy...far from it. We are here to help see each through this uphill climb called life, and we are to bear one another's burdens. I am so thankful you shared your heart and let us know exactly how we need to pray. You, my friend, are so faithful to pray for all of us when we need it...it is the least we can do to pray for you. Please keep us posted on how you are.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-34495479684418865592017-05-13T23:47:34.551-05:002017-05-13T23:47:34.551-05:00I just posted a comment but the box disappeared so...I just posted a comment but the box disappeared so not sure what happened.

I know first hand with my lyme how discouraging it can be when you can't get answers. I took time while reading your blog to pray for you. May God strengthen and encourage you. How refreshing it must have been to have sunshine and a walk in your park and see all the pretty flowers. Thank you for the towel pattern. I will probably run it off and add it to my discouraging long list of things I would like to make! LOL I hope your have a wonderful Mother's Day!

I am praying that you find answers and healing! Have you ever listened to Pastor Rick Warren of the Daily Hope podcast? I find his podcasts very uplifting. Your flowers at the lake are beautiful and those cabins are so cute! Isn't C2C fun? I should make one for myself as I really enjoyed making them for others. I faved the shawl for the future...it's a beauty! Thank you also for the towel pattern. I'm going to Wally World today and I may pick up a towel to try it. They are so handy! Great for gifts too. Have a lovely weekend!

We may call them different names here. I love trap hyacinths. <br />Prob should grow some as it's time to put them in here, in Oz.<br />Mm, I rather thought that it seemed like you bone hasn't healed. And definitely chasing up the reason why and God willing there is a solution out there for you. You most definitely have my prayers you're on my daily list. I've been concerned for a while as you well know. However I think at such times of that hymn https://youtu.be/7g9WTXihqa4<br />Is one I was thinking of I'll try copy few words for you... this hymn always blesses my heart and goes back to my childhood and early days of salvation as I went through many health trials. I took them almost fifteen years to properly diagnose me as endocrine was very new area at that time.<br />Have you started for glory and Heaven?<br />Have you left this old world far behind?<br />In your heart is the Comforter dwelling?<br />Can you say, Praise the Lord, He is mine?<br />Have the ones that once walked on the highway<br />Gone back, and you seem all alone?<br />Keep your eyes on the prize, for the home in the skies;<br />God is still on the throne.<br /><br />Refrain<br /><br />God is still on the throne,<br />And He will remember His own;<br />Tho’ trials may press us and burdens distress us,<br />He never will leave us alone;<br />God is still on the throne,<br />He never forsaketh His own;<br />His promise is true, He will not forget you,<br />God is still on the throne.<br /><br />Burdened soul, is your heart growing weary<br />With the toil and the heat of the day?<br />Does it seem that your path is more thorny<br />As you journey along on life’s way?<br />Go away and in secret before Him<br />Tell your grief to the Savior alone;<br />He will lighten your care, for He still answers prayer;<br />God is still on the throne.<br /><br />Refrain<br />You may live in a tent or a cottage,<br />Unnoticed by those who pass by;<br />But a mansion for you He is building<br />In that beautiful city on high;<br />It will outshine the wealth and the splendor<br />Of the richest on earth we have known;<br />He’s the architect true, and He’s building for you;<br />God is still on the throne.<br />Refrain<br /><br />He is coming again, is the promise<br />To disciples when He went away;<br />In like manner as He has gone from you,<br />You will see Him returning some day;<br />Does His tarrying cause you to wonder,<br />Does it seem He’s forgotten His own?<br />His promise is true, He is coming for you;<br />God is still on the throne.<br /><br />Refrain<br />Oh I love the assurance God gives us, through good old Bible based hymns. My family weren't saved but God used a Beach Mission to be my means of salvation at twelve, right when I needed it. <br />You know dear sis, God has a higher purpose in the way He is taking us, I would not swap one part of my trials for smoother ways, as I'm so much richer in Him as a result of them.<br />Love your knitting as always and yes I've had patterns like that one you kept undoing, curious isn't it. I've made up my own crotchet pattern for towel tops too.<br />Prayer hugs dear sweet sis.<br />Thanks for sharing your heart and surroundings!<br />Shaz in Oz.x <br /><br /><a href="http://calligraphycards-shazinoz.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><b>{Calligraphy Cards - Shaz in Oz}</b></a>ShazInOzCardsCalligraphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246279405851387500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-80677818077383317262017-05-12T21:31:32.027-05:002017-05-12T21:31:32.027-05:00Being shuffled from doctor to doctor is frustratin...Being shuffled from doctor to doctor is frustrating.

It was quite the cold, snowy winter for you. There were alot of plants and flowers at Costco today. I saw one man with a beautiful lupine. I should have gone and bought one....but I didn't. Instead I bought clothes later. I enjoy those towels that you made. I had a friend make a few for me a couple years ago and gave some away. My dau-in-law made one that's all knitted! I will be praying for your health and hope you heal up soon in your back as well. I always like reading your blog and you sharing life, good and not so good.

It is rainy and cool here and supposed to be for nearly a week. I am fighting off cold symptoms again and I am grumpy. Your beautiful stitch work is lovely to see, but I am sorry you had to do so much frogging of the shawl. The lake photos are so pretty, and I especially enjoy seeing the flowers and the sail boat. I hope the garage sale is a great success, and I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day! 💐🤗Gracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-91238646235490312182017-05-12T17:26:45.826-05:002017-05-12T17:26:45.826-05:00Enjoyed your photos!
