that's it in a nutshell. I'm still here, still doing beadwork almost everyday, still praying and studying the Word, along with creating new beadwork designs (when inspired to do so); still dealing with the Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet and legs; still working on my weightloss (-77 lbs to date); still unemployed since mid-June of last year, with little to no income these days.....yes my FAITH is getting a complete and total workout this past year.
you could say at the very least I'm getting STRETCHED within my Faith in God.
especially when it comes to being 'still' and 'waiting on God and His timing'...wow does that hurt somedays. Especially when I'm constantly resisting the temptation of old bad patterns and habits, like self-medicating with almost anything especially food or painkillers.
I know it's worth it, getting through to the otherside of whatever HE has in store for me.
