Yesterday was a very busy day for me. After Sunday, yesterday I didn't have time to process anything that I was feeling or going through. So today I got some rest and now I am here, to process all that has happened and went between Sunday and Monday.
When I have busy days like the last two days I've had, I need some down time to consider and regroup my thoughts, else I will get lost in the sea of anxiety. I am an introvert so when I have to come out of my comfort it takes a lot out of me emotionally and mentally as well as physically due to my body still healing from all the surgery. So while I sit here and drink my delicious smoothie I made, I will process in the quiet my thoughts reactions and emotions.

So where do I begin? Let's begin with this past Sunday. Humm, let's see?
Sunday was a big day for us in that we had a meeting with one of the pastor's of the church we go to. Now we are not members of this church right now due to all the stuff we've had to go through for the past 3-4 years. But when we located to a new town we had to find a new church because the car we had couldn't make the drive to our home church. So we found another church and began attending there.
Well since making that connection we have been connected ever since through a small group which we just love and adore. We have also been calling it our church even though we are not members. We have fallen in love with this particular church and we thank God for leading us to it.
Well anyway, get on with it. The meeting we had was to discuss a marriage ministry that we wanted to start or at least add to what they were already doing. We had already been doing this ministry per se out of our home for about three years. (As some may know ministry begins at home and then into the church.) Well after such time we felt it was time to move out and into the world with this service we were doing. So we contacted our church for a meeting to discuss what our next steps should be in making this thing a legal entity.
Well, that meeting took place o Sunday and I must say what we heard and was discussed blew both of us away, me and my DH. We couldn't believe what we were hearing in the Spirit and we couldn't believe how desperate they were to have someone come in with the organized plan and ideas we had. So needless to say, the answer was a resounding *YES* to us entering ministry there. Wow we came away thrilled and wowed at the same time.
I will not go into detail here about everything but just know that we are still in awe of what God is doing and how this door was just wide open and all we had to do was step through.

Now with all that said we move into Monday.
I went to the eye doctor Monday morning and was there for a while. Since I have Glaucoma, she had to do all her testing including the dilation of the pupils. (Wow always something I dread.) I forgot how bad the light is for your eyes when your pupils are dilated. I took them almost all day to return back to normal.
When I finally did get back home I did a load of laundry, which for me is a big thing considering. I am still making my way back to a normal physical life after not being physical or mobile for so log. Things like going up and down stairs still wear me out and my balance is definitely off, so I must be very careful and move at a slower pace. But anyway it felt good to do laundry. (I never thought I would feel this way about laundry.)
So during my laundry time I get the phone call saying my teeth were in and I could come down to pick them up. I've been waiting a long time for this moment. I've been without teeth for about 5-6 years and have not been able to eat a lot of things. So in starting this new day or way of eating the one thing you need to eat is fresh foods which I have not been able to eat for years.
Without my teeth I was forced to give up foods I really enjoyed and only eat foods that were soft and easy to digest. So with that of course I started gaining weight especially after all my surgeries. I became very distraught and disgusted over this. I wanted my life back. Well now I am getting them back and will be able to resume eating normal healthy clean foods once again.
My determination here is to be healthy all around. I want the feeling of well-being and vitality. During the time of my health and medical issues I have lost at least six years of my life. That's six years of not feeling well always in a state of depression, distress and despair. Not being able to enjoy life, my grandchildren and even my marriage.
So right now I have my top denture but the lower ones had to be remolded. Something happened and so we had to do this process all over again. While I am happy to ave my teeth, right now they will need to be readjusted. It is very painful to get them in and out, but I also know there is a period of getting used to them. The mouth will have to get used to having these foreign objects in and the gums will have to toughen up in order to get them to go in and out.
And so there you have it...and today is another day. Today I take it easy and let my body catch-up as I try to catch up with my mind.
