God is blessing

I've exercised 3 days in a row now without the fibro symptoms coming back. I have sore muscles, but not fibro pain. And I've been having tons of social interactions that sometimes can be very stressful... went to the dentist to have two fillings replaced, talked to my sister for her birthday yesterday, went to visit my friend with cancer going through chemo last night, attended my daugthers scout meetings yesterday with the other (more perfect) moms.

I've been walking with my mother-in-law every morning for the last three mornings. Our water has been contaminated and we've been advised not to use it for consumption or washing dishes, thus a very messy kitchen, and kids are home from school. I also had a surprise visit late last night from my dear friend who has decided to keep me accountable for reading God's Word. She is the same one who was so discouraging a year or so back who told me that God has already healed me and that I just need to claim it and walk in it. She has become quite an encouragement to me. And the lady who was so critical of my housekeeping was hosting the scouting meeting at her home and asked me to overlook her mess as I went to find a place to change Olivia's diaper. There was no mess, not even a speck of dust as far as my eyes could see. I laughed and told her she's kidding me, right? She lauged too, and I didn't become over-stressed. Also, I've been working evenings with Mike trying to finish up a hotel we started wiring a few months ago. They finally have the drywall finished and we are putting all the faceplates on...like 120 of them...lol. There are a lot of toxic smells from the new construction, but I seem to be tolerating them well. It's obvious that God has interviened. So many people are praying for me, and I'm being faithful to start each day reading God's Word, and to finish each day as close to 10pm as possible. My church has gone on a 21 day fast, and those who cannot fast food have been asked to fast an activity they crave. I have chosen to fast from the activity of staying up late. God is blessing.
