Dear Erik,
I thought that was beautifully said. I also walk w/GOD daily and there's nothing wrong with that... only right. If u focus on Him and put urself into His Hands everything else will fall into place. I truly believe that and it has made me a better person,not to say that I was evil, but we all make mistakes for we are only human. I do know that I am His and He walks w/me daily. So, I will never leave His side and am proud to admit to it. I think ur a good person and that is good, but what does God think @ u. That is the most important thing.
I write a lot of songs,poetry, draw, and I love it. So, it is nice to read good positive feelings and I have done it a time or two, but I am a songwriter and try to keep things that aren't copywritten to myself. I still have hopes of singing for people. I love the emotions it brings. It moves ur heart and it can fill ur soul w/hope,faith and love.
Now, how ru doing? I seem to be doing better since I've lost 12 lbs...yeah for me. I am so glad bc I was feeling so depressed and down, but now it seems that I have hope. I think like this...we all make mistakes like I said and we all have to pay in some way to bear our crosses. I feel I have bore mine and now He knows that I will never leave His side, that my life will finally get started. I wrote a song for the first time in a long time this week. It only took me a minute or two to get it down. Those are usually the best ones. I am excited to get back into music again. Although I know I will have to have surgery again..I can just fill it and that is fine. My T3-T4 is a compressed fracture and I believe that is what is causing most of my pain that it is pressing on a nerve and maybe my surgery was a failed fusion as well. So, I think I have a two-fold prob. but have high hopes. What @ U? Are u getting anywhere in getting better. IT sounds like it from above. Do u also play an instrument or sing? It would be so kewl if we met here to do great things in the music business...:) lol
I am going to an Ortho Tues. and am going to tell him differently than any other doc I have talked to. I am going to start from the beginning and get to where I am now and let him do the math. Usually I would just go in and tell the doc that I am in pain...here or there and what is it? I have learned u have to start from the beginning of the pain and where it started to finish. I think then I will get to or he will get to the bottom of what is causing my misery. I am better bc of med. change I will give u that. Since I have quit taking Lyrica my life has turned for the better. Neurontin is much better 4 me. It seems to work better for what is going on in my body. I am so greatful 4 that.
Hey, check out my webpage that I just started @ where I worked in Nashville and I worked w/some big names...of course they don't know me now..that's okay. I don't have my nose up in the air...lol They are going to love the pics I post when I get them all up. Some of them will probably write to me then...lol...I don't mean to be mean,it just erks me when u have worked w/someone for 3 yrs and see them at their concert and they wave, but at the end of the show don't know u anymore. Really that is sad. I am glad I never made it to be famous. I like who I am...a wife and mother. I am happier now than I have ever been in my life...even in the shape I am in. I thought @ my songs and maybe letting someone else record them, but I don't know. I am going to want to record them myself. I always wanted to hear myself singing my song on the radio. maybe some day soon.
Hey, I am sawy that I wrote so much. I was just venting as u said..:) We all have to at some time. I do it a lot. Can u tell I love to talk...lol
U take care of urself and talk atcha' soon and always GOD BLESS.. Karen
Wow...I didn't know u were a reverend...I just saw that...how kewl is that. So, God is w/u and that is awsome...me too.
I almost posted my page...forgot can't do that. Don't want to get into trouble for it. I will try to post it in my profile and then u can check out some of my photos. I have two wonderful boys...I only have one posted at the time. The other son lives w/his dad...long ugly story. Sad really. Pray for my oldest son. He seems to be lost at this time and he won't talk to me. As I said it is a long ugly story...but so true. I just pray that God is w/him and sends one of good angels to protect both of my boys and family....sawy...keep on talking....:)
I, despite my ordination, am not a person who will daily talk about God and his blessings. I believe what I do, and I support what you believe with all my heart and soul. I am here to listen and be a sounding board for all who come.....never think of me as a "bible thumper" as that I can never be.
as it is said .....Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you
I wish for…
Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so that you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.

I don't do this as much as I know I should....
Peace be with you...

Oh, BTW, don't worry about rambling....I am guilty of same....Mostly because it is nice and calming to talk to someone who is as "miserable" as you are.
I have had several weeks of bad days.........not surprising to anyone reading but it must be said anyway....
Since it is spring, I think those of us who have a wife, husband or significant other, should take this time to say a very, very, heartfelt thank you...we all know that they can (and in certain cases have) left us because they cannot, or will not, handle the pressure that comes with.......God bless everyone of you who stays and fights along with us in our daily struggles...They are the true saints/angels in our lives.

Let me know the pattern names and/or numbers and I'll check to see if they are buying...I can generally tell by the amount of stock they have on hand.
