Trying to get my computer desk up the stairs (because I was too impatient to wait for someone to help me
), I tumbled down the stairs with the desk. My neck/shoulder is very sore, moving toward stiffness.... but I could have been hurt much worse if you weren't praying!
Angels were looking out for me. Even though I was moaning about it and "How come you didn't give me a word of knowledge that I would fall if I tried to get the desk upstairs, Lord?" I now realize that your prayers had me covered. I cracked my head on the wall, but my neck is getting the brunt of it. I already have been having neck pain on that side, and now it REALLY hurts and is getting tighter as I type. BUT, how can we know what worse shape I would be in without those prayers??? It's one of those things we will never know this side of heaven. But, I definitely believe things would be much worse without those prayers. Thank you so much, Sis, for obeying God!!!
Where DOES one get all the stuff? Tow big boxes, four small boxes plus a couple even samller ones of craft stuff alone.... Wowza!!!
!!! Shoulder WAY sore and stiff.... Just pray! Can barely type....
FRUSTATED!!!
the devil, I guess....
(you're my human angels) to uphold me in prayer, Thanks for all prayers; they really make a difference.
really fast, so that was an answer to that prayer!!! What I realized (Praise the Lord!!!
), is that in the past I did not have my anointed.net friends praying for me. This is a testimony to how powerful the prayers of this group of warriors is!!! I saw so clearly how DIFFERENT the whole situation was this time. I haven't had to miss any work. I haven't been doing the usual rest it and take Ibuprofin. I have been taking Exedrin and doing all I can in the natural, but normally there is no way I could work.... I had to rest from unpacking. But God let me get EVERYTHING moved and the old apartment cleaned and most of my stuff upstairs.... when I figured my shoulder would be freezing up to where I could do nothing. See, at Taco Time I have to find my own replacement, which is kind of hard for an entire week. But I've been able to work!!! Anyway, I just
Him for His goodness in all this!!!

Thanks for the prayers, guys!!! I can FEEL the difference!!! Just after posting this, God sent me a revelation. Usually when my shoulder or arm or neck or back get into these "frozen" or "out" or "tendonitus" situations, I can't use that arm or part of my body for anything. This time, after I fell, I was able to: ~Keep moving stuff from the old apartment to the new (lots of walking while carrying stuff) ~Lift and carry boxes up the stairs ~Scrub and clean in the old apartment ~Do my job at Taco Time sufficiently -- dropped a few things (in the past, was out for an entire week, because I could not lift my arm to do anything) ~Cook (usually my arm is ueless for anything!) ~Sleep!!! (With the other problems, there was so much pain I could not find a comfortablel position to lie in and would just doze off for a few minutes.... This time, I have laid on the hot pad -- heat is recommended for stiffness -- and gone to sleep quite quickly and easily and slept long ~lift my arm over my head, when in the past -- youch!!! -- could not lift it at all without screaming or flinching And this was the most major accidednt leading up to the pain on my body. Usually, it was preciptated by things I do every day. You don't fall on the stairs every day, so I stand by the earlier post that says it could have been much worse! When God reminded me of that, I had to start a praise and thanksgiving session to make up for all the negative things I had been saying. And, of course, my attitude improved immensely! That took care of really fast, so that was an answer to that prayer!!! What I realized (Praise the Lord!!! ), is that in the past I did not have my anointed.net friends praying for me. This is a testimony to how powerful the prayers of this group of warriors is!!! I saw so clearly how DIFFERENT the whole situation was this time. I haven't had to miss any work.

Anyway, I just Him for His goodness in all this!!!Now, just pray I will keep on the posotive track and not let those negative thoughts back into my mind! Shoulder is majorly sore as I type, so pray for it's total and quick healing. Thanks, guys!!! ~JeriRose~ Finding HIM in 2004 ![]() |
