Text of the page (random words):
so i wasn t scared in the full sense of the word it s been three months since then and yes my life has changed i don t go out as much because these two incidents practically back to back really hit my physical body hard i don t have the stamina i used to i get tired really quickly and my brain doesn t work like it used to but i m still here i praise god for that i m going to end this post with a song that recently came out i love it because it so describes me right now i m ready to go whenever my savior calls me until then i keep spreading the message the chorus in this song is now my theme song mercy me odeath posted in anxiety death fear tagged bible certainty christianity death faith fear god hope jesus trust worry leave a reply angels in my life posted on august 15 2025 by beth ann reply having all of these recent things happen in my life i have been very reflective on where god has led me that made me think of all the people he has put in front of me to lead me in the correct way also there are things that have happened to me that has made me think that there are actual angels out there like a guardian angel people joke about having a guardian angel but i have found that i have one in my late teens early twenties i had a really bad car accident three friends were also in the car when i lost control on a country back road i still can bring up the image of the telephone pole directly in front of the car i turned the wheel and the back part of the car hit the pole for you car people i drifted into the pole my car happened to be a 1970 chevrolet impala and it was a tank i know that if i had hit that telephone pole straight on we would all be dead the reasoning behind that statement is when the car hit the telephone pole at 45 50 mph it bent the frame of the car 11 inches that is a lot of bend for a car built like a tank bottom line is that all four of us walked out of that car we had bumps and bruises but we were alive after the accident some of the local residents came out and looked over the accident scene one gentleman was walking looking at the skid marks when i approached him he asked whether i was the driver and when i said i was he said i ll quote him as much as i m able after all these years girl you had an angel sitting on your shoulder to drive like that sometimes angels come in human form i when i was in high school i was invited to sing with a local christian group that met at a church in our town this group was all teenagers from ages 13 to 20 this group was led by a man called darwin his nickname was doc we would meet during the week for practice and over the weekend we might have a church to sing at the group went on several tours through pennsylvania virginia and one tour went up to maine and back this group that i joined was a life giving activity for me i grew up in an alcoholic home and even though my father had stopped drinking there were still problems i was beginning to go down the wrong road when i was invited to join i loved singing so it was a no brainer for me and while i sang about the love of jesus i also experienced it i know that if i had never been in this group i wouldn t be where i am today i think i would have killed myself at a young age i look back now and i wonder how in the world doc managed up to 20 teenagers at a time doc and the group were such a blessing for me and a wonderful memory i m still in touch with some of the people who were in that group i know i ve been talking about angels a lot but i ve seen too much in this world not to think that god has his hand in everything we do the writer of hebrews says do not forget to show hospitality to strangers for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it 13 2 i think if angels can show up at your door they could be anywhere all of us have had these kinds of events in our lives take the time to think about them and then thank the god who brought you through even the events that have a lot of pain and sorrow have the hand of the lord in it sometimes you can t see it until you look back and reflect posted in reflection tagged angels bible faith god god s grace hope reflection leave a reply my thoughts or here we go again posted on may 4 2025 by beth ann reply i was struggling with what to write about for my 3rd blog after my helicopter ride when i was again interrupted i had to have an angiogram to check up on my fistula that caused the brain bleed my fistula was gone praise god the dr said that this wasn t unusual i come back home in good spirits and thoughts of now i just have to gain my strengh back then the dr reviewed the scan the doctor found an aneurism oh boy i just stepped into a whole new thing get a ctscan stat come to york hospital stat had another mri did you know there are mri s that are like angiograms i probably had one of those dr tried to fix the aneurism with embolization couldn t do it soooo i ve had brain surgery yep i have railroad tracks up the back of my head aneurism was in a different place right on the back of my head not a good place if any place is good with an aneurism i woke up in neuro icu not doing very well the dr had given me keppra a seizure drug as a preventative i get it i really do but i don t believe too much in preventative medication before you even know you have the thing if i have seizures i will talk to my dr about it well my husband had brain tumors and he never really had seizures except after surgery keppra rage it even has a name my husband wanted to kill all the doctors and nurses i was at least not that bad i was in pain in the urinary area it s too complicated to explain fully and i couldn t make the nurses understand why i was so uncomfortable of course i just got out of surgery and on pain killers the pain killers didn t take care of this pain i yelled and screamed and called them all names i was horrible i remember that i heard a small voice that said you weren t like this before if you ve read my blog from when i was helicoptered to york you will know that i loved those guys at icu they were and still are my angels they finally did as i asked once i explained it to them through tears and it was such a relief when i was discharged i had my son wheel me to neuro icu and i apologized to the nurses of course they didn t want to accept an apology i didn t do anything wrong but i needed to let them know that i m not usually like that they needed to hear that i love them and i treated them badly as our talk progressed their faces had big smiles and there were a few tears in the eyes including mine nurses in the hospital deserve respect most of them are wonderful people with wonderful hearts when you acknowledge that you were wrong or that what you said was hurtful the other person can either ignore you or you may have just repaired a relationship say thank you to your next service person even if they are in a bad mood and if you yell at someone go back and tell them you re sorry eat a bit of crow be humble like the lord has told us to be posted in anger frustration anxiety fear loving others worry tagged acceptance anger apologize family fear health humility life

easter faith hope risen trust leave a reply meet aunt sarah posted on february 27 2025 by beth ann reply my aunt sarah was a hard working woman who raised four children during the depression she was twice divorced and supported herself by being a waitress sarah could have a very sharp tongue if you happened on a topic of conversation that was very controversial or very sensitive for her we were at a family get together and the topic of waitressing came up i innocently said that i didn t think that was something that i could do what s wrong with being a waitress this was from aunt sarah i stammered that there wasn t anything wrong with being a waitress i just didn t think that was the type of job for me aunt sarah huffed and turned to converse with another family member i had escaped from a tongue lashing whew sarah was sensitive about her choice of career path how many times do we hear today that they are only a waitress what a waste yes the words in the parenthesis are implied we do this with a lot of what we consider entry level jobs yes i realize that for many people that is exactly what they are but have you ever thought about what the world would be like without the waitresses without the laborers without the grocery clerks without the uber taxi drivers all these jobs that i ve named and there are a ton more i haven t named are jobs that are low paying but are essential to the world moving along at a good pace some people love these jobs and don t see them as a jumping off point to a better paying position one time when i was working temps they called to see if i would be interested in taking a one week job as a janitor they needed a fill in since the person i would replace would be on vacation i thought why not how hard can it be let me tell you i found muscles i didn t know i had that week and the only thing that kept me coming back every day was knowing that it was only for a week but i learned that most of the jobs that we sneer at are very hard jobs look around and see the small people the ones who are overworked and underpaid give them a smile and encourage them call them by name if there is a nametag say hello good morning how are you recognize them as people who are made in god s image god loves them as much as he loves you posted in loving others tagged faith family god s image life relatives seeing others work writing leave a reply all of the angels out there posted on january 29 2025 by beth ann reply at the beginning of this month i was made aware quite rudely if i must say so of how many angels of care that the lord has stationed out in the world you see i had a brain hemorrhage at the beginning of january and i m still here to tell the tale in fact as i was in our local emergency room waiting for the medical helicopter yes we did that i said a prayer to the lord and it was like this lord if you are ready to take me now i m ready to go however if you keep me here on earth there must be a reason so guide me through this i was air lifted to a hospital about two hours away 15 minutes by helicopter where they had a team that could take care of me and take care of me they did i don t remember too much of my first two days but i woke up in a neuro icu and i was clear headed i could sit up walk very slowly and discuss my condition with the doctors and nurses from the moment i woke up i was ready to go home but i had to stay at least 14 days 21 days is the norm due to a medical standard it s too complicated to write here trust me the angels that took care of me were just that angels i came across so few workers that were grumpy or discontented most did their jobs most excellently they were wonderful people yes i told the lord jesus that i m ready to go and i am but the lord has kept me on this earth for some reason with all my faculties intact as i was pondering this in the icu my thoughts turned to this blog that i started years ago and haven t written in for 2 plus years i was prodded to awake this blog turn it around and instead of focusing on me as a caregiver to my husband make it about the people in the world who give care and how we can give care to others in our world there are people in our lives every day that we can encourage and help keep a look out for them posted in uncategorized tagged acceptance angels emergency encourage faith icu jesus prayer trama leave a reply happy thanksgiving posted on november 24 2022 by beth ann reply holidays are hard if you are in active care giving you are already exhausted thoughts of having friends and family over for a huge dinner can overwhelm you my mom used to have a large gathering on thanksgiving family friends it didn t matter as macy s parade was playing in the background my mom would be preparing the turkey pealing potatoes and setting the table with the good china and silver later we would sit down to the full thanksgiving meal including the yams succotash homemade cranberry relish and several different homemade pies we would always have 10 persons over you don t have to do the whole shebang i have some suggestions don t have the dinner if you have family close let them do the dinner offer to bring a side if you must do something communicate to your family that hosting the dinner just is too much after experiencing the thanksgivings in my family i decided that wasn t my mom and had much simpler dinners one year it was just our family and we had spaghetti we also went to other relatives homes on some years once joseph started his journey we kept up this tradition if you don t have family close we don t then perhaps your church or community may have a large thanksgiving meal you can attend you should have some family or friends surround you on this holiday because that is what this holiday is about have the thanksgiving meal sometime in the weekend after that is what we are doing this year since my daughter in law and my younger son work over thanksgiving we will have a small meal turkey is on the menu saturday or sunday we haven t decided yet what is important during this holiday is that you are thankful for your blessings that come from our lord we should be thankful that we wake up for each and everyday and that we have shelter and food to eat be sure to include your thanks to the lord this holiday posted in holidays tagged anxiety faith family friends hope thanksgiving leave a reply
