Thank you Sue! It has been eye opening that is for sure. Harder than I expected and better as well.

I talk to God all throughout my day and always have. It’s as natural as breathing to me. But sometimes I wonder if that is not “good enough” so I have challenged myself for the month of October to get down on my knees once a day and pray more formally. It definitely feels different and I will report back at the end of the month. I’m a day late but hopefully someone will see this!

In reply to Kris.

KRIS – Agreeing with you and Cee Gee. I have multiple types of prayer. In the morning I like to write my prayers down, as a reflection/meditation on what I read in Scripture. In the evening, my prayer is much more like a talking-to-a-friend kind of prayer. Including distractions and the sudden end when I fall asleep… Other times I read prayers written by someone else. One-sentence prayers, breath prayers, a Psalm, The Lord’s Prayer… I think these different types of prayer help me even more to communicate with God and to know Him (and myself..!)

In reply to Traci Gendron. Maria, I'm so sorry. I am praying for peace as you navigate this loss and wisdom in the countless decisions in the days ahead. So glad you are safe.

In reply to Cee Gee. Thanks for asking. I need to be praying for ME on this…I have no answers. Makes me want to not keep seeking them. I’m thinking of cancelling my 3-month follow-up appointment with the neurologist. (I didn’t love him anyways.) But I am also thinking of finding a functional medical doctor. I do have an appointment with my gynecologist to discuss hormone stuff. I am making myself read out loud… kinda my own speech therapy. I’m starting to feel pretty anxious, and feeling like it’s “all in my head”. I get that feeling from medical staff, and I’m tired of no answers after an MRI, a CT scan, two ultrasounds and a bunch of blood work. I’ve invested more time and money than I would like. I’m feeling like I just let it all go until only gobley gook comes out of my mouth! I don’t know what to doooooo. I feel like I sound like an idiot and one that s intoxicated at that. Grr!! Keep me in your prayers, please?

In reply to Maria Baer. Oh my goodness, MARIA! So thankful all are safe! But still … so much to process, especially in these early days of figuring things out and regrouping. We’ll be praying, and if we can do anything else please reach out.
