Back To Gimping

Well my surgery IS in a week and someone asked me yesterday if I was nervous. OF COURSE I’m nervous! And I was trying to block that out of my mind, was doing really good but then voila here I am again with my humaness taking over. I must remember the verse I had on my "Antique Flowers" Header about how God cares for the wild flowers, ya that’s right!, THE WILD FLOWERS, go figure hey? Who ever thought? Even after we step on them going on walks they some of them anyway seem to bounce right back up as if nothing happened don’t they? I love walking in nature, feeling the dew of morning grass against my bare legs in the summer I haven’t done this since I was at camp many moons ago.

I need to remember that God loves this wild flower and will help it bounce right back up from the surgery whether it’s minor or not, I will still get cut open with a camera inserted and a breathing tube will be put down my throat.

Thank-you for your prayers!

Did you know that ER is one of the shows I watch? Well, watching that does make me so nervous too. I also watch HOUSE, another hospital show, and it too opens my eyes to all those scary things that happen in the hospital. I don’t fear the Dentist as much as I fear the hospital, weird I know, considering I had a moment where I envisioned myself working in one, but THAT was quickly evaporated by reality. I think I could handle working in an animal hospital though, why? Well, the animals are helpless, they can’t even talk and that is what I work best with. Because as many of you know, I don’t talk much as it is, unless I know you really well-then I’ll open up like a snap dragon being pinched.


Anyhow, have you seen my new header pages yet? You can find them on my sidebar under: Demarablog Headers. So far, some people have said they like the "Antique Flowers" one the best. Have you see the latest one I’ve done? And if so, which one is your favourite? Also, do you have any ideas as far as careers that involve Photoshop and no deadline??? I don’t work well under pressure!


Can you guess what this is?

    Demara, I love your creativity and your heart that you share here. Will pray for your surgery. As I was reading your posts these thoughts came to mind

    “Have you ever been told your beautiful?
    Just because you’re you?
    Have you ever heard your precious
    Not because of anything you do - just being you

    Did you know that you are beautiful
    Like a rose that is ready to unfurl
    But there seems to be a reticence
    A fear that keeps your petalled curled

    Did you know that you are beautiful?
    There’s a beauty that is as gentle as cool air
    Did you know that you are precious?
    Because you’re Demara, because your Father cares”

    I sense such a tenderness in you, a beautiful heart, but having to be strong and assume responsibility from a young age has put a false burden on your shoulders, a weight that I see the Lord taking off you. I see him rubbing your shoulders where the weight off the false burden has made imprints in your shoulders, which hurt in the same spots over and over.

    He loves you. Loves you. Loves you. You are loveable, you are valuable. Let it go, let it all go, do not be afraid to cry, to let go. You are beautiful.

    Praying for your surgery. I know God will keep you safe, but at the same time I know how you must still feel scared. Just try to feel reassured that you have many people praying for you!
