I passed up an opportunity to buy this, um, intriguing bit of artwork at an estate sale this morning, but the damned thing may haunt me for a while anyway.
Thank you all for your continued prayers for me!
After months of waiting and not knowing anything new, there is positive progress! My mom and I are flying to a specialty Chiari clinic in Colorado (2/15-19). They will do a 3 day evaluation to determine if they think I would benefit from brain surgery. If there is a surgery, it will be about a month later, after the insurance pre-approval is processed.
It has all come together in the last two weeks and God’s hand has clearly been on all of it!
The neurosurgeon I saw in Seattle, in October, was concerned that on top of Chiari Malformation, I also have MS. I was referred to the MS clinic at OHSU, in November, and I’m still waiting to schedule with them. I don’t think that I have MS. I have no brain lesions and different symptoms. Chiari is still being…

In this post we will briefly answer a question that was asked by one of our clients. Here is today’s question:
“I am afraid to trust again. My husband was betraying me behind my back for years, and I had absolutely no idea. So, my question is how can I know it’s safe to trust another man.? I’m afraid that I’ll be duped again.”
When we’ve been betrayed, especially if it’s multiple times, or over a long period of time, then it absolutely natural to fear trusting again. It’s also natural to be afraid that you might miss something important – because you were successfully deceived in the past. It’s sad but it’s very understandable. Your fears here are normal, and are actually very healthy.
Let me beginning by saying : What you did in your previous relationship was right.
You were right to trust your ex-husband. We…

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Waiting for the moment
Will I know when it is here
Am I waiting in vain
What I heard, was it clear

I don’t know how it will come
Or from whom it will begin
All I know is, it is coming
I just don’t know when
So many questions
I can’t begin to ask
Just thinking about the day
Is more than a task
Can my heart take the waiting
Will I stand till then
Will I start tomorrow like today
Waiting again
I will not make it happen
Through deception or strife
I will fulfill my destiny
But through His plan for my life
He promised, He cannot lie
I have a purpose to fulfill
I’m still waiting for the promise
You know, the one in His will

You’ve made me last
So that I would be first
You’ve given fresh water
To those who thirst
And hunger after righteousness
For they are truly filled
With your Holy Spirit
The One who reveals the Will
Of the Father
His purpose in the earth
Equipped to complete assignments
Given to them at birth
Pains from creatures’ travailing
Waiting for sons to manifest
Bringing deliverance, salvation
Hope, redemption and rest
From labor to reward
What we’ve all been waiting for
The prize of the high calling,
What we’ve all been working towards
Has meet us at the back
The very back of the line
For he was always waiting there
For he had First in mind

So apparently my toddler was born with something called a dermoid cyst.
I noticed it only when he was 2 (not 2 months, 2 years old!). I was looking at him and noticed a small lump by his inner eye.

I started researching up and right, asking on line. It was in the middle of the pandemic and we had a Zoom visit with his pediatrician who dismissed it as a clogged tear duct or a stye.
I wasn’t satisfied. I knew it was neither.
I researched and researched and researched for weeks till I found something that looked similar. It was called dermoid cyst.
I found a small Facebook group dedicated to this subject and I joined it.
I quickly learned that dermoid cysts usually are formed in the womb from extra skin and hair tissues and they mostly present as a pit in the middle of the nose.

I love experimenting with poetic forms especially when there is a liberty to play with words. Because I find it hard to go with the technicalities of the pattern.
And I have flubbed up Sedoko into tanka. So have I rectified it later. But to go with the structural aspect of poetry is very important.
Today’s Poetry form is Cinquain and I am delighted to share few of the very popular Cinquains which are chosen among the most.
A Cinquain is a nifty five-line poem inspired by Japanese Haiku. It was invented by Adelaide Crapsey. She was an American poet who took inspiration from Japanese Haiku.




Here is my take on Cinquain poetry form. Hope you like it friends.


Thanks for the beautiful read friends. Your views and comments are much appreciated.
Much love and gratitude.
