My kryptonite

If you were a superhero, what would be your kryptonite, draining your energy?

Yeah, that one is easy. Self doubt, worry, and stress.That's what drains me now, so I think it's safe to say that if I were a superhero it would still be the case.

As a christian I know better than to allow these things to rule me. But they are sneaky little demons, slinking their way into my thoughts and my dreams. They start small, but slowly build and grow until they overwhelm me spirit and cut me off from all that I hold truly dear.

Can I tell you a secret? These demons have come very close to destroying my marriage. My worry, stress and doubt coupled with his drove a wedge in our relationship. It created a deep well of hurt and uncertainty. But we are overcoming this. We are working together to rebuild what has been torn apart. And we will succeed. Because we truly love each other, and because we are joined together by God on this life journey. He is my rock, my shelter, my best friend, my biggest fan. The man placed in my life by God himself to be my other half, my mate, my earthly comfort and support. And with him and God, I can overcome my kryptonite. The 3 of us are a team. I may not be a true superhero, but with God and my hubby beside me I know I can do anything I am called to do.

Life is scary sometimes and we aren't superheros with superpowers. But we have a Father who has all the power. And in my case I have a partner who is my reason for living, for facing each day head on. That is a mighty and powerful thing. I will take it over superpowers any day.

I am definitely with the right one!

Strength or Speed?

As a superhero, would you rather have extreme strength or extreme speed?

Hmm......

Watching my cats zip around this morning, I think I might have to pick speed. They wear me out just watching them. :)

For those who tuned in yesterday, the procedure went well. By well I mean there were no unforeseen problems. Hubby is in a lot of pain and we have been up and down all night. This was expected (though not appreciated) and I arranged to be home with him today. Not that I can do anything, really. But sometimes just being here helps (I hope).

Please keep praying for him, that this procedure will help his pain in the long term.

but I really don't want my love to endure this pain....

superpowers

If you were a superhero, what would be your hidden superpower?

This is a "no brain-er" for me. My hidden superpower would be healing. I would heal all the physical and emotional hurts of everyone I love. And then the world. But my loved ones first.

My husband is scheduled for an out patient procedure today at the pain management doctor's office. Some shots in his neck and back to hopefully relieve some of his chronic pain. We have done these types of shots before with little success, but it's been a while, so we are trying again. Oh, how I wish I could magically remove his pain! To wipe out the last 20 years of doctors and surgeries and procedures that have caused only more pain. To eliminate the need for pills and shots and all the things that drag him down! That would be an amazing thing!

Do me a favor, say a prayer for my sweet hubby today. Pray that this procedure will help him. Pray for his body to be pain free. He is an incredible man. He doesn't see all that he is, how courageous and strong he really is. He can't see the man I love through the pain. Pray for him to see himself as I see him.

Prayer is our real superpower. I don't always understand it. Sometimes it seems that my prayers aren't being answered. But I know my Father hears the cries of my heart and that He is moved by them. The creator of all worlds listens to the smallest heartfelt cry of His children and answers. Maybe not in the way we want or think we need, but He always answers. Reaching the heart of God, if that isn't a superpower, then I don't know what is.
