Kate Update: Please Forgive Me

Topics: My Life

I know I should have something to say.

I know that you all understand me more than most.

I know I owe something to all the wonderful people who have had me in their prayers over the past three months.  I really do.  In fact, I think I will spend the entire month of February making up for ignoring them.

But for now all I can say is thank you.  I pray each night that you may be blessed for your selfless kindness and your countless prayers.

Please forgive me for January.

For those who may not know, I am in Arizona getting help for an ongoing heart issue and a cyst in my brain.  It’s not as bad as it sounds, but I sure am exhausted… physically and emotionally.  More details coming soon.

    Kate,
    For some reason my bloglines hasn’t been notifying me of your updates so I haven’t read your last 2 posts. I hope that you are doing better. You’re right that it does sound bad, it sounds horrible actually. I’ll tell Joe tonight and we will add you to our prayers. Take care.

    I somehow wandering thru the web found your messages about your life with fibro. I have been going to the doctor for 2 years with unbearable pain in my lower back. I was taking so many pain pills they messed up my kidneys. Just recently I went to the Mayo Clinic and discovered i had fibro. It has totally changed my life. I sell real estate and I have nearly had to quit working. I live with chronic pain nearly all the time. I get injections and wear patches for pain all the time. I was wondering how things are for you now and if you are better. Are there any doctors you are going to that have helped you and if so what are they telling you to do? I hope things are going better for you. God Bless, Sherry

    When I was a kid, our family had a house fire. I remember my family’s friends all had a big party for us and brought us all kinds of presents – things like toilet paper and flour and used furniture. My mom had such a hard time with everyone going out of their way to do all of that for us.

    And I remember the pastor of our church telling my mom something that’s still impacting my life — sometimes the best present you can give someone else is to let them give to you.

    You don’t have to make up for anything, Kate, and you sure don’t need to be forgiven for anything. This is *our* chance to give to you for all you’ve *already given* to us. It’s good to hear you’re getting the help you need. Even better to hear that you’re taking the time to relax and get it. <3

    And I will still take whatever blessings Abba decides to throw my way in answer to your prayers.

    I hope that you feel better. Try to take it easy. I hope to get to know you as well.
