“The RoseBouquet”

So? What happens next? Well, everyone tells me to take care of myself first, so this week I’ve been going slow and resting mostly so my back can heal up. I went to a chiropractor yesterday and sent me for an x-ray. (He just phoned me with the results; I have 40% compression wedging in the T6 vertebrae, meaning curvature has set in, and it will take 4-8 weeks to heal). But my pain is less today for the short treatment I did get.

Monday I made another trip to Mennonite Trust about the estate, and closed some joint accounts, or had Dad’s name taken off. When I’m upright, I’ve been trying to answer a flood of emails. My last count is about 70+ to go yet, and I haven’t dared try to check email at the one address where all my online program mail comes through. That will be a huge dump of emails!

Because I know I need to tidy up the house for realtors and also start packing stuff for my move - but I still want to get back to my daily business routines as much as possible… I’m thinking I’ll sacrifice my promotional and marketing hours so that I can give about 2 hours a day to packing and sorting. I’ll try to maintain my blogging times, my email afternoons, and my evenings for clients. That’s assuming my back will allow and heal up quickly,and that things don’t start to happen all at once. For now, what time I can get to the computer I’m trying to deal with emails first and foremost.

Hey, I want to thank one and ALL of you, who have written words of encouragement and sympathy! I appreciate each one! You are an enormous blessing to me!

Yes, I need to find myself a new place, and I think I’d like to move to the city to be nearer conveniences, and not have to spend gas-money on commuting, but as I’ve said to several now, it’s a bit like anticipating Christmas gifts. I KNOW I’m going to be richly blessed of the Lord, but I can’t see into the packages yet.

Your prayers DO help tremendously. If you want to join me in asking for some specific blessings, try some from this list;
for speedy healing of my back
for a little cottage in the city and funds to buy it
for clear direction in my business and ministries
for incomes to meet my needs (I’m awaiting a Google check, and some affiliate commissions would be nice!)
for the best price and timing of the sale of this house.

At the beginning of the year I claimed this verse as God’s promise to me in 2007;

“Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38 NIV)

I gave 23 1/2 years to caring for my parents. Now I want to see what it looks like when God gives in return. Naturally, He’s given many blessings already, and the rest may not all come this year, but I’m sure He can out-give me any day!

You want to stay tuned here, ’cause I’m bound to report some miracles before long.
