For a while now I have been getting weaker in my muscles but have been able to keep plodding around. But the last few days I've had a lot of pain in my joints and it has sidelined me today. I would appreciate your prayers on my behalf.
I remember that you have one of the auto immune diseases, can't remember which one however. Lupus maybe? (I miss my mind so much.) I also know that stress is one of the worst things for such conditions. I do hope now that all the hospital trips, caring for everything alone and such stresses have hopefully subsided, you will be able to take care of yourself and get back to feeling better again. I will pray really hard to that effect for you and that the Lord will get you back to normal really rapidly. I know you were already under such teriffic stress knowing that Knock will be leaving for Louisiana soon. You have had a tremendous load to carry. I will pray that the Lord will give you a peace about things and that you will be able to turn over some of the anxiety and pain to Him and let him shoulder it for you for a while. (Actually that should be for all time and not just a while.) I am praying that your precious hubby will recover rapidly and get back his health right away. By the way. I loved those pictures you posted in your forum of you and your family. You are quite a handsome bunch (of Cajuns). Must be because of all that good Cajun cooking and fun loving ways that you people have that just seems to come so naturally to you all.
Thankyou so very much for your prayers. I have MD. It has not advanced in a while but I am having a time with it right now. Thank you for your kind words. I sure do love my family and don't get to see them anywhere near enough. I wish they lived close. The older I get, the more it seems I need them.
It is always a priviledge being able to pray for others, especially friends. I remember now that you tell me your illness.
I can't help but wonder if you might one day consider going back to Louisiana where your family lives. I think that if I were away from my family I would consider doing just that. It also seems that the hard work that you guys have to do with all of your animals might just get too difficult for both of you considering the fact that both of you have health issues. Just being nosey...but I was most concerned about both of you when your hubby was in the hospital.
God has called us here to the mountains to minister. Until he says otherwise this is where we will be. I really love it here. The only 2 things I would like different would be to have my family here and to have good seafood. LOL
We are looking to scale the herd back from 12 to 6. It's just hard to let any of them go because most of them are rescues and you hate to think that they may end up needing rescuing again. It is hard to rehome them because of the economy but I know we can't save the world as much as we would like to. We don't try to make a killing on the horses. Far from it. We just need to make enough to take care of them properly and keep us out of the poor house. Please pray that we will be able to move 6 of the horses into good situations.
Is there some place you can advertise that the horses need new good homes? Maybe some veterinarians would let you put up a notice or Craig's list would have a catagory for that. I know that times are rough for lots of people right now but surely there are folks out there who aren't suffering financially, who love horses and have always wanted a horse but just never took the plunge at getting one of their own.
