Sunday Sermon on the Meningioma Blog Part 1

So, I’m sitting at home in front of my laptop recovering from arthroscopic surgery, hooked up to an ice machine that keeps cold water flowing through a bag wrapped around my shoulder, wondering what’s next. 

With zero growth of the meningioma over the last year, I’m wondering what I should do with this blog.  Let it go dormant?  Keep researching diet and nutrition for brain tumors?  Turn it into more of a women’s health issues journal? 

Let me set the scene for you…  I’m wearing the cutest little pink and green-striped capri pajama bottoms with a kitty-kat pj top, just in case someone stops by.   The beeper on the oven is going off letting me know that a yummy vegetarian lasagna made by a friend is now ready.  There are three cats curled up on the air mattress that I dragged into the front room… makes it easier to stay hooked up to the ice when visitors drop in.  There’s a wickedly delicious fruit basket arranged to look like flowers in my refrigerator, dropped off by some dear friends from church yesterday.

It’s expensive to pay all the co-pays on the medical, and now I need a new wardrobe to accommodate a bad shoulder.  Thanks heavens for half-price days at the thrift store!  Men’s tops, big enough to get a shoulder bandage through, were the easiest to find.  I had no idea there were so many pastel-colored, floral print men’s shirts out there, but they go great with my stripey pajama bottoms!

As I was sitting here taking it all in, wondering what to write about,  I received this comment on one of my posts.  I’ll be darned!  It provided the answer!!  So, yes, I think I’ll  continue with the blog… because it seems like it really DOES do some good for some folks.

Here’s what one of my lovely readers wrote:

No doubt in my mind why you have experienced these unusual ailments. You are here to quell the spirit of fear that tries to undermine the light of the Lord. Thank you.

That comment — and THANK YOU to Jackie, who took the time to write it – reminded me that I’ve  journalled through the many episodes of my life.  I wonder if those old journal entries might contain treasures that could light the way for someone else’s journey?  I could resurrect some of those old entries, couldn’t I?  THAT’s what I could write about, and along the way, continue to surface news on natural healing for what ails us.

I am not sickly, mind you.  I am in terrific shape, now well-documented by my surgeon and anesthesiologist, who think, on paper, that I’m only 29!!   I’m actually training for a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia Society. 

On this Sunday, for those readers who might be inclined to seek a little “tender mercy” from God, I think I’ll share a few of the scriptures and journal entries that lifted my load a bit.

I’ll share these under the Sunday Sermon series so that those who are inclined to seek out articles of a more spiritual nature can easily find them.
