I haven't blogged on my page for a long time. I have had a lot of personal, physical and financial problems for the past several months; but who hasn't had the same issues.
I think the only difference is that with complete kidney failure my stresses seem to feel as if they are more traumatic. You're fighting for your life with each dialysis treatment as you wait for a transplant, while fighting daily stresses. Sometimes I just what to SCREAM!

lts one of those nights. Not feeling well, causing me to remain awake with the vivid knowledge of it all. I'm listening to music to try to relax. Songs that have touched me as a reminder of who I was then and now. The lyrics of the two songs and links their audio are just a few that speak as testaments to my faith in God.
Throughout the the various seasons; the hilltops and valleys, Christ Jesus has never left my side. I am praising Him through ALL circumstances.

1 Timothy 6:12
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Amen; do as you did at your baptism, and when you joined by Christian faith in front of the congregation, family and friends.

Dec. 31, 2014 - Happy New Year's Eve! Just a quiet evening on a very cold night at home with Bosco. I wish that I was attending Watch Service at church; but I have been fighting off some type of bug since IChristmas. Dialysis is the only place that I need to go to, and that's on New Year's evening.
So the game plan is to try to put more food on my churning stomach, reflect on how blessed I was in 2014, and how mućh better that I can become in 2015.

1Peter 1:6-7 - "In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, So that the tested genuineness of your faith--more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
Dec. 29, 2014 - I'm still recovering from Christmastime. For the first time in years, I cooked a full traditional holiday dinner, thanks to the help from a Christmas Food Gift Box from the Salvation Army. God bless the organization and all the food pantries for providing me with food itemsHis that allows me to have food most of the month.
I enjoyed preparing the food. I love to cook. My microwave cabinet is stuffed with cookbooks and recipe clippings. The problem with all the preparation is that I no longer have the stamina to successfully complete it without causing myself to become ill. I had to take to my bed three times whole preparing Christmas dinner. Christopher finished preparing the dinner rolls when he arrived, where he found me nearly passed out on the sofa.
Christopher did the serving and clean up, walked, played, and cuddled Bosco, besides providing me with intellectual and comical conversations. His thoughtfulness means so much to me. He truly is my greatest blessing.
I thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for the gift of the meal to commemorate His holy birth; in these financially times of hardship His grace that allows me to scavenger food through local pantries; providing Bosco and I (and Chris) with shelters; for maintaining the good health of Christopher, family, and Bosco; and cradling me in His loving and calming arms through my extremely long rainy season. Amen.

Merry Christmas Eve! I hope everyone has their shopping and food prep done. Yeah right! I'm moving as slowly as a turtle crossing the road. I think I just been clipped by that one piece of prep work.
Before I necame ill from poly cystic disease whch resulted in kidney failure, I could manage to muster up just enough energy over my other disabilities to get my house and meals ready for the holidays. Now, I'm so very tired.
I lost my trained helper, my son Christopher. It's for a good reason and cause. Christopher and friends are helping to feed the hungry this Christmas. He'll join me when they are finish. I'm very proud of him.
Well, back to work.
