I'm so disappointed!! John Christian Music Codes has gone off-line!! Poor guy....too much going on in his life right now. He's been offering his music codes now for four years, and I guess it just got to be too much. Unfortunately for me, I can't seem yet to find any comparable alternatives. I really loved Nicole Nordeman's I Am. I'll keep looking...

Okay, I need some prayer warriors....for some healing prayer....for myself. Before we went to the DR, I had been having alot of pain in the back of my neck and head. It was very hard to get any good sleep. And even harder to find comfortable positions to simply sit and talk to someone. I was always moving around trying to not feel so strained. Then, on the DR trip, I was talking to our team doctor about it and she diagnosed me within just a couple minutes. She said it was my "occipital nerve" (not sure on the spelling). Apparently, I had been so stressed out that it was really getting on my nerves. Ha!! I didn't even know that I was stressed out!! I guess since emotionally I seem to handle stress well, it transfers instead to my body...go figure! I've heard of that happening...duh!!

Anyway, she said to take 800mg of ibuprofen, 3 times a day, for a week (which worked out perfect on our trip!!). Since it's an anti-inflammatory, it would calm that nerve down, give it a chance to heal, and I'd get back to normal. So I did it! And it worked!....Until this week.

I've noticed I'm slowly getting worse again each day....and it makes me really tired all the time...I guess since I'm not getting the good sleep again. So, I'm back to taking the ibuprofen three times a day again. The only problem with that, is that I really don't want to rely on it that much. You know what I mean? Help!!

Please pray for the physical healing, but also for any areas of my life that I'm trying to control too much....does that make sense? My only guess is that I'm fretting more than I think I am over things that I know only God can manage. I know that He is a Sovereign God. And I know that His plan is perfect. Please pray that that knowledge will transfer to my faith.

I know that it's one thing to say that I believe in God....but it's quite another to really believe that His Promises are really fact. He sticks to His word. Amen? And there's so much going on in my life right now, that I need to remember that God is in control...therefore, I don't have to be. =] He does what He says He's going to do.

Blessed is she who has believed that what

the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!  Luke 1:45
