It's been awhile since I last posted. Last November I almost lost my daughter in a diabetic coma. She is alive and well now, praise God. This happened 14 months after losing my son. As my daughter fought to get her life in order and healthy again I began reviewing our time together. My daughter is in CA and I am in SC not very handy! In the last ten years we've seen one another four days here and five there. Not much and no real quality time. This needed to change.
I called my daughter and asked if she thought we could get along together for about three to four weeks for some mother/daughter time. One of us speaks oranges the other apples! My daughter was so thrilled and excited!! I guess when your children hit middle age they get it or us. We talked about all the girlie things we could do and the shopping etc.
Later I thought I really needed a vacation since the last three years have been so nuts and I don't believe times will be better next year. I checked on line and booked us five days in Maui!! I am thrilled. My daughter is well...off the charts!
I am a senior and very white. What was called shark bait in my day. Checking out spray tanning (upon hair stylists recommendation) I have become confused, so watched a u-tube which helped. I still am curious about what to do with my boobs. Since becoming a senior they have quite taken on a life of their own! Should I wear an old swimsuit? Go nude? If I go nude and there isn't any boob support I will have white under them. Do I throw them over my shoulders as I turn? I can see this is going to be quite interesting.
I will leave soon for my special time with a special daughter. We may or may not be able to do this again. I do know one thing though - each of us will always have this visit and vacation to remember!! Pray we don't kill one another in the process. Aloha!!

The Step Off a Ten Story Building
Three years ago I stepped off a ten story building and put the fall into the hand of God. The building is known as my control of my life and the insurance of my life because of my job. Because of my position. Because of my abilities to perform my job. I have many medical problems and had been able to will myself to work despite my physical pain. The time came when my will could no longer sustain me and I had to recognize my inabilities and take ownership.
I have been a reborn Christian forty years. Member of a church and attended regularly. Gave of my time and am a tither. The last twenty years I have been trying to turn over my life to God. This is more than just belief and faith. I wanted and needed to trust God with my life! I had no idea what would happen to me and my world once I left my position and employment to go on disability. I prayed and gave it all to God to handle in His time and in His way. I did ask to please not let me hit bottom if possible. So I jumped and began the free fall!
Passing the first floor was a since of relief and excitement! Relief of work stress and the excitement of seeing God's hand in my life. I praise Him everyday for His faithfulness to me. Yes, God is faithful to His children as we should be to ours. Hubby asked when will this check arrive, has such-and-such been approved, etc.. My answer? I don't know, God is working on it. Don't get me wrong I didn't just let things slide. I did do the part I was responsible for and continue to do so. God has fought every insurance and legal battle. God has provided every financial need to the penny. I don't have extra but I do not worry. Every time a financial need arises He is there with the answer. Thank you Jesus!
Sixty days ago my medical insurance expired and no other insurance company would pick me up. I thought Medicare would cover but no for another six months. God has seen to it that my doctors have lowered my visit costs and lowered it further than other patients, I see very specialized doctors that are very expensive. Even this lower rate with two of my drugs equals the monthly insurance payments I had been paying. One drug that is very costly was switched another brand. This new brand does not work as well but there are no generics but affordable. That leaves one drug with no generic or alternative company and is very costly. My discounted pharmacy rate is $200.00 a month. This is not affordable. I do have mortgage and other bills. I just found out yesterday that my Medicare has been approved and goes into affect in May. Today I called the drug company and have been approved for their "help" program. I expected another hundred off but - get this- it is going to be free!!! Thank you Lord!!
God has seen that once I truly was willing to jump off the ten story building of pride and let Him handle my life he has does provide every need in my life. I never HIT bottom. I landed safely and walk in His steps. I enjoy His love and have the joy and peace in my life that can only come from God.
I have no idea what your ten story building is. This is just the story of my ten story building and a leap of faith. Have a truly blessed day!
