World Without A Filter

I've been totally reliant on sunglasses to make being outdoors more bearable. In late 2016, I was diagnosed with status migranosis (a perpetual migraine). That went on for a couple of years. It was rough. That has since settled down and I'm receiving a monthly injection, but I still get chronic headaches and the odd migraine pops through. It's resulted in what I call a reverse panda face. My complexion is two-tone due to constant eye wear usage outdoors.

With the pandemic going on, I've been pulling my mask up any time I enter a business and in winter time, I'm wearing a hat, so it's hard to just move my sunglasses on to my head and some days I've left them on my face, only to have my shades fog up. I don't like not removing my glasses in most circumstances (I don't wish to appear rude), but I'm usually carrying something also, so I'm trying to be efficient.

Today, I went into a business, put my shades on my hat and pulled my mask up and then decided, I'll see how I go. It's bright. The sun is shining. It's only a few places today that I'll have to keep shades off my eyes. Maybe I can manage for a few minutes without winding up in pain.

And then I noticed I was able to keep them off. And they stayed off. 

Get Ready

 In October 2021, I was curious about whether we might have an incident with gas shortages and possibly even electrical power outages as a result of a possible extreme winter weather issue, such as several states had experienced in February that year.  

And then an urgency came to me in my mind: "Get Ready".  Sometimes that's how the Holy Spirit speaks. Through a thought.

God Answers Prayer

Last night my husband came home looking somewhat crestfallen. He was short some dollars from his register. I know him to be an honest man. I also know him to be pretty nonchalant about a lot of things, but the look on my love's face was deep concern. 

And I said there were a couple of reasons this may have happened and I went outside and prayed. He is not a Christian, but I claimed the promises Jesus gave us that if we ask something in His name, it would be answered.  

  "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."  -John 14:13
