Picture Dees~~moving forward

Expect good things. Expect them. Get your "expectors" out of the back of the closet. Dust them off and start expecting good things in your life.

Too often in life we sit around waiting for the "other shoe" to drop. Which means we are waiting for more bad things to happen. That is the wrong way to live. In the year 2014 I was living that way because of all the bad news I was getting one time right after another.

It started in March when my cancer medicine stopped working and my cancer spread. Next a spot on my brain was found. Later I got a blood clot in my lung. Next my cancer spread to my liver. Every trip to the doctor brought more bad news.

It wasn't hard to expect more bad news. It was hard to try and expect good news but it was a choice I needed to make. It's all in our attitude and the kind of choices we make in our lives. It's a focus that will help us to move forward in life.

If we expect the bad often that is what we get because its what we are looking for. However, if we expect good things it puts a spring in our step, a smile on our face, a song in our hearts. If the best or good doesn't come we still have the strength to go on because we have the better attitude to endure.

Good focus. Better attitude

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
