Sunday - Cold and Sun Bright

My Cat Cleo is cute cute cute.

And nice to me - I put her back on the window sill just

to take the picture.

I guess I am spoiled too!

It was so good to be in liturgy and pray.

I am hoping to be on the upward swing

with the anxiety issues.

I know in part they are from insomnia

[had it this week again :( ]

and other factors;

it is strange when one knows that the anxiety

is in part from things outside of one's control.

I am however hoping to

deepen my repentance about the

do not worry that Christ tells us to do.

It took me years to realize that such verses of comfort

were actually meant to be obeyed

i.e. really to not worry.

We praise Christ for His long suffering for a reason

during Lent!!

God is so patient with me!

I know, I know,

I do think a lot of Cleo and her cuteness.

Will end this post with a prayer request:

remember that rash I had in November

that I had to go on heavy meds for?

Well,

I have one spot of it again;

I'd been ignoring it as it was not spreading and

not really growing.

Sigh.

I showed it to my spiritual father (who is also my priest)

and he told me I must tell my doctors about this

as it is such an early recurrence.

OKAY.

I will. If Father tells me to do it then

I best do so.

So please pray for me;

the X-Ray was clear;

the blood work still has to be rechecked

and the last thing I want is to

have to go on the heavy meds again.

They made my anxiety skyrocket, my insomnia

became insomnia-with-sleeping-pills

and I felt really shaky and had to eat constantly.

Thanks for your prayers.

*

Most of all I have to remember what a holy monastic said to me

in the last while:

Glory to God for everything

which includes all of my troubles.

*

I am so glad for a new week

and for two extra (Theophany)

church services

and a friend coming over mid-week

and other things.

*

Meanwhile, I best work on a cover letter due tomorrow

in case the doctor's appointment

leads me to go back to the

dermatologist...

Please also keep my friends I mentioned yesterday in prayer;

prayer is much needed for both of them.
