Another Quick Update
So much going on, so much to see to and to take care off. There is not much time for blogging these days but hopefully I will be able to catch up with y'all soon. I will try to keep y'all updated with some of what is/has been happening:-)
Maaike got her diploma too. Congrats, girl. We are proud of you as well!
She is now specialized in child-care development and has a contract for one day a week in a child-care centre, with the prospect of a full-time job. We pray that will happen soon. She loves babies and little kids. Just like her mom, hahaha.
We had a little celebration last night. I got to "poke" myself yesterday!!! Yep, I gave myself the Humira injection under the watching eye of the nurse. She asked me if I wanted to do it myself and I was determined to, so I told her I did.
She looked at me and said: "Really?"
"Yes!"
"Okay" and she numbed the injection-site some with a cold-spray and told me to hit it on the count of three.
Well, I hit it on the count of six, haha. But I did it! I was so relieved and so grateful. Next time, I won't even go to the nurse anymore. I will do it all by myself :-)
That was one major fear to overcome, but God gave me the strength to do it. It's fear that often prevents from doing or even trying. We can't know how it works out, but we have to step out on faith, do our part. God will do His. Thank You, Lord!
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

And... we celebrated with pizza, hehe.

It's sounds like you are so busy, but you are doing well and that's the main thing.
I'm so excited about the victory over that fear...it will be a great thing to not even have to go to the nurse and just do the injection at home when needed.
He's truly amazing, isn't He? He gives strength and peace in all situations and such amazing things happen when we are able to step out in faith, look past the fear and do our part and He'll always be there to do His.
Blessings and love to you!
Ok, Corry, the pic is on your side bar on this page and the woman has short hair, blonde, wearing a red something, maybe a jacket and a black top. Is that you?
Congrats to your daughter! And, mega congrats to you for giving yourself your injection! I'm so proud of you! :) If only I could be so brave!!!
Cinder,
I was so excited myself! Kc said I was like another woman coming out of the hospital, all happy with a huge smile on my face, haha.
I was extremely grateful for the strength God gave me to overcome this.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! :-)
God bless you, Cinder. Love you, girl.
Claire,
Ahhh yeah, that's me:-)
Thanks for the congrats. I will pass it on to Maaike. And thanks for mine as well. A world fell of my shoulders!
Oh Claire, I didn't think I could do it either. Just the thought gave me the creeps. But with faith, prayer and determination I could. And I have every confidence that, in case you ever had to, you could too. I hope you never will though:-) I keep you in my prayers!
God's Grace.
Praise the Lord!
You have a lot to be thankful and joyful about. Thank you for letting me share in it.
Bless you Corry, but I rather think I'll begin having to inject after the 18th of this month. We'll see though....
Karen,
I agree, I have much to be thankful for and to rejoice in. One of those blessings is a very dear sister in Christ, who encouraged me greatly by telling me from the start that I would be a pro in no time! Thank you :-)
Claire,
I pray you won't have to! God bless you.
God's Grace.
Yeah!
My beloved lieve zus did it herself.
I'm so proud of you :)
Take care.
*HUGS*
Audrey,
Lieve zus, I know this may sound odd, but I wasn't proud of myself at all, I was so grateful to God for giving me the strength!
Ik hou van jou, lieve zus :-D
God's Grace.
Praise God, Corry. I lift my hands in adoration and awe at all my Lord does. He is good all the time.
Stepping out on faith is something I am grappling with. I think I need to move on, but I'm not sure.
Gina,
Amen!
How are you, dear sister?
Kitty,
Always do what you know is best.
Never do what you know is wrong.
And when you don't know what to do, do nothing, but wait and pray about it.
Another good thing to do, is ask yourself whether you are reacting to fear or to love, hope and faith.
God bless you, girl.
God's Grace.
oh, wow! you're so brave! i couldn't even do injections on another person. wow! wish i could do that too.
Pia,
I had that same impression but it's facing the fear and determination that overcomes it. I have no doubt once you set your mind to it, you eventually would be able to do it too:-)
Love you, girl.
God's Grace.
