"MINE!" He roared!!!!

"...there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!'" (Abraham Kuyper) Key board is weird. I am now convinced that is something to do with the connection with the phone and my laptop. I don't have internet at home so I connect my phone to the laptop and pull the internet from my phone (data plan) to connect on my laptop. Anyway I probably explain that to you every time. Well sometimes we need things repeated until they sink in, at least I do.LOL. So I had more blood work done .... Big Sigh!!! I feel good, I'm told I look good well, not the kind of good I would like to be told at 42 after so many treatments, but good none the less and I'm feeling a heck of a lot more confident in my body regarding it's reliability but the blood just won't get on board. It still going up. "HELLO stupid blood you're going in the wrong direction!!!!" I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree I rarely go the direction i'm supposed to go in either. God says "left" I go right, He says "forward" I stand still and the one I am famous for and i'm sure it's His favourite (sarcasm) He says Be "still & silent", I make myself busy and I pray and than decide what the answer was and do just that. It makes God's job easy. Well that is of course until He just puts His big puffy finger on me and says "stop" and then i'm squished so I have no choice. All metaphorically speaking of course. I haven't actually felt God's finger holding me in place, many other things but not that. So you know about my sucky blood work, well I also got to experience the wonderful joy of having my organs pushed down on by a lady who held a little odd shaped 'thing' with warm goop on it. Well let me start off by saying Thank You God for pushing humans in the direction of developing a warming unit that heats up the jelly goop so it no longer goes on with an "I'm sorry this is going to be really cold." to start off the ultrasound experience. Instead, she got towels all tucked into my clothes so just my tummy was showing and started to glide the thing (I don't what to call it so it's 'thing') around my tummy and as soon as she went to the right side where my liver was up went the level of pain and the ooching! and ouching! and then she started the apologies as she asked me to roll onto my right side to have a look at me kidney my pain went through the bloody roof. I justify using that word because tecchnically it's not a very polite word in England but we don't live there so..... and God knows I'm thinking even worse right now at the thought of the pain that ultrasound caused. She didn't check the right kidney or maybe when she did the liver she could also see the kidney??????? I'm no expert, so I don't know what they see so I just laid there with warm goop on me, if not for the pain I think it would feel quite nice. (giggling in remembrance) I told her about the ultrasound that I had at the BCCA with the man the had the spa music playing and the lights were dim, remember that? I blogged about it a while ago. She said there was no spa music here. I didn't weigh myself but i'm pretty intune with my body, always have been, since before I was pregnant with Alex. So I'm feeling like I weigh about 108-109 now but definitely not less than 107. Many thanks to my friends that are continuing to make me some healthy foods for me to get my liver functioning properly. It has truely been a huge help to me. Alex has found a part time (although a decent amount of hours for part time)job at Body Mods in Park Royal. It is a jewellery booth that sells body piercing jewellry and other items such as after care products etc. My mum and sister just popped by there I think it was yesterday and bought 2 funky leather and rope bands that you tie around your wrist and they each bought one so they got a deal on the third. One of the great things about where she works at Body Mods is that they always have some awesome deal on and what they sell is good quality. I'm really stoked on this for her because she is so excited & the company offers a lot of sale incentives for the staff and growth potential within the company so Alex is very excited so this is great for her. This is really helping her transition back into North Vancouver. She also has found a room to rent close to the my family & that is also a positive thing. I see my liver dude April 7 for my ultrasound follow-up, obviously nothing wrong or I would've heard by now same with the blood. I'm just praying that they don't need to take a biopsy because I know that involves a very BIG needle thru my poor little tummy all the way down into my hurting little liver (said in feeble, weakened, decrepit,tiny voice) Thank you for your continued prayers for myself and my family. Once again I am going to try to link a song, Click the title of the blog to hear the awesome song. I was just about to publish this and then I remembered that I have a prayer request. I have been praying & thinking about; getting back into my Psychology program with Thompson River University. They have a Psych.2 that I would take just to make sure my foundation was strong enough before I went into the Criminology program which was what I've wanted all along. There is one issue that has already presented itself, they have expired my account which means I cannot log in, that makes sense it's been almost 2 years, the problem however is there's money in my account because my intention was always to return so a portion of my fees (all be it a small portion)was kept in my account. So I've emailed them pretty much what i've told you so if you can all pray for that and if God's ok with me going back I'd really appreciate it. Now that my hours at work have been cut it's a great way for me to spend time doing something i enjoy and can really sink my teeth into. I remember the nail biting feeling last time I did it but I also remember the confidence it built in me when I passed each assignment and how good I felt. My Toronto dad always said "education is never a waste!" It needs to be God's decision and His funding, and TRU has to OK the whole thing so I would really like this so please pray about it. I'll keep you updated as I hear anything. Gotta say it's nice to have something cool to look forward to for once instead of "when's my next stupid Dr. appt.?" or "heh look my hairs starting to thicken, I hope I can grow it by the summer so I can get it cut!", "I have been seizure free for over 6 months, I could actually get insurance and leave Canada now!", I don't know about you but I'd much rather say,"I'm starting University again!!!!!" In our busy days it's important that we, "be still and be silent". That's about as profound as I'm able to get today. Bless you all MeL CLICK ON THE TITLE FOR THE AWESOME SONG FOR THIS BLOG
