It's back!!! My oldest sister stopped by to use my computer. She asked me what I was up to and I said, "No good." I was in the middle of my hair butchering mode when she knocked on the door. My sister asked me if she could do anything for me. I said, "Not really Sis. I've lived with this most of my life and am so used to it. I've accepted it as a part of me and will be the same person when I have no hair left." I don't have much hair now, but you know what? The Lord still loves me and my friends, family, and dog still love me. Amen? Amen!
Wearing wigs and hats are my forte. I've acquired a variety of styles and colors which do get complements from an on-looker when I'm out for public viewing. We have the pixie style with silver and black tones. We have the longer wedge style with wisps of hair that flip up behind the ears. This one is my blonde look. I do love my wigs and do find pleasure playing with them. Lest I not foget my collection of hats of different colors and styles. They work well with my older wigs. I fool my psychirotrist all the time. "Your hair looks great," he will comment. Then I always have to remind him that I'm wearing a wig. Gotta love it.
My BDD has been dormant, but it seems the stresses of my life have resurrected it. The Lord is my joy and there is indeed strength in this kind of joy. Adversity has come in to my life as of late, but I have not stumbled. This the day the Lord hath made and I will rejoice in it. He has made me glad! If the devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack.
This morning I woke up to Joyce Meyers discussing guilt and shame. I caught her comment, "The devil thrives on your feelings of guilt and shame." Joyce quoted scripture and I felt the Spirit of Christ spring up from within. When this happened I suddenly heard the chattering of birds outside my front door. I got up and looked outside to find two Sparrows singing to one another under the porch. God is with me. God is in me. God surrounds me constantly. Despite my negative circumstances, the Lord remains present, sheltering me under His wings. He lifts me up when I cannot do it for myself.
Praise and thanks to God. I shall rejoice in this day as I walk along His way.
"I have just begun to fight."

What a wonderful reminder to cling to the Lord, even when our circumstances seem to indicate that He's forgotten us.
I love the way The Message translates Psalm 9:10 ~ God's a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. The moment you arrive, you relax; you're never sorry you knocked.
Keep clinging to the source of Life, Love, and Hope! :)

Shallandra, kentlass, scottie. . . your words are a gentle ray of sunshine for me. Little blessings (the kind words of the heart) prove to be the greatest blessings. I testify here with you three that this is, indeed, fact. I love you all so very much. God has blessed me greatl with your loving nature and nurturing souls.
I do thank you from deep in the core of me.
Abundance to all of you!
Kim
