“Two Awards In One Week Shine On and WordPress Family Award”

Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm

I have been blogging for three years now, I am grateful to each and every one of you who take the time to read my blog.  Some of you read each and every post I add to my blog in my wildest dreams I never imagined how wonderful blogging would make me feel especially since I am disabled and not able to work anymore. I worked from the time I was sixteen years old and well I guess you could say I find purpose in working, my blog has become like a job for me as it takes time, effort and most importantly prayer.

Blogging is a way for me to stay creative, use my brain muscle and stay connected to our fragile world via your life story and your blogs.  I find blog news to be much better than the television news.

Some of you have reached out to me and we have exchanged some very personal things we share in this thing called life. Perhaps one day I will write a book about my life but for now I share what I can to help inspire, give hope and remind each one of you that GOD in Jesus Christ name is real. GOD creates miracles today, I know as I am a miracle, I am a child of Jesus Christ and so are you. JESUS loves all of his children each and every one of us.

I received two awards this week; WordPress Family from Connective Tissue Disorder Ms. Kati and Shine On Award from PIG LOVE the adventures of Bacon and Friends blog.

.  

Now for a description of the award in the words of the Creator Of The Award:

 It is my honor to start this award.” from Shaun @ http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/ 

This is an award for everyone who is part of the “WordPress Family” I started this award on the basis that the WordPress family has taken me in, and showed me love and a caring side only WordPress can show. The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before. This represents “Family” we never meet, but are there for us as family.

I love awards to add to my blog as they remind me that what I am doing is important as my blog affects people, animals, our environment and most of all I pray I am pleasing Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.  I am a child of GOD and so are you! I’m honored to say that my friend and blogger Katie (Connective Tissue Disorder blog) has nominated me for the “WordPress Family Award”. I particularly like and understand the essence of this award because so many of my fellow bloggers have become like family to me. I am really honored to be nominated for this blog with all the blogs in WordPress and I am grateful to have met Katie she is an inspiration.

When Life Is Just Too Hard

Friends Of The Donkey Whisperer Farm

Seems the most difficult times are amongst all of us living in this fallen world but this I know for sure, “When I was in my darkest place, most pain not sure what the future held Jesus was holding my right hand. Jesus was helping me stay strong keep reading Psalms over and over and speaking the word of JESUS CHRIST out loud, Never Give Up as GOD has a plan, GOD’s plan is always better than my plan.”

When I could no longer hold my bible due to weakness and pain (8 broken ribs and more), I would listen to my iPod with Max McLean reading Psalms and John over and over.  This helped me so very much to fill my head with the word of GOD. No room in my head for satins lies.

Several times when the pain was the most unbearable I felt like I was being punished by GOD, that he did not care about me and I just did not understand why I had to endure such horrific amounts of pain for so long.  The  absolute worst part was not being able to sleep more than four to five hours per night.  Prisoners of WAR understand what sleep deprivation can do to the human body, mind and soul.  I lost many long time friends of over thirty years during this most difficult time in our life as trauma burns away all the non-essential things in our life including people. 

April 13, 2013 was the three-year anniversary of the semi-truck accident and I can finally say the pain is manageable.  Select GOD created a miracle for me to read more. I am still in physical therapy two days a week and massage therapy one day a week but slowly and surely I am getting stronger.  The most difficult part of rehabilitation of injuries like mine are the back slides, I work so very hard in physical therapy and then boom can’t do much of anything for a couple of months due to the insane pain and rib, back and hip spasms. Winter is the most difficult as well the arthritis is building fast in my body and the cold is extremely painful I wear snow pants, long johns and layers of clothing from October into April living in the Pacific Northwest. The mind is the battlefield and I think we need to keep listening, reading and speaking the word until things change even if the only thing that changes is how we think our brain is connected to our joy and peace.

Nothing stays the same forever nothing except GOD’s Love!

I pray GOD releases his angels from Jesus Christ to surround you with light, love, healing and hope, I pray GOD binds the two of you if you are married to one another in a way so strong a way that you have never felt before.

I pray these angels from Jesus Christ make you a Warrior For Jesus Christ no matter what the final outcome is with your health, finances, family, job (trauma), I pray you can be a witness to the sweet grace, peace and hope that only GOD in Jesus Christ name can give us in our darkest times.

We believe in miracles because I am a miracle and I know GOD can create a miracle for you too!
Never give up as GOD will never give up on you.  Perhaps tomorrow will be your big day a breaking of sunshine is coming never give up!

Prayers that have helped me, I pray they help you!

The Lord causes my enemies who rise up against me to be defeated before my face; they shall come out against me one way and flee before me seven ways.
Deuteronomy 28:7

Guide me in your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for you are the GOD

 of my salvation;

for You (You only and altogether) do I wait

(expectantly) all day long. Psalm 25:5

When I am deficient in Wisdom, I ask of the giving GOD who gives to everyone
liberally and ungrudging , without reproaching or fault-finding, and it
will be given to me.  James 1:5

Peace I leave with you ; My own peace I now give and bequeath to you.  Not
as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled,
neither let them be afraid. Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and
disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and
cowardly and  unsettled.  John 14:27

Remember FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real – Satin whispers fear into
our ears but GOD screams the truth of peace, hope and eternal life.

Waiting On GOD

Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm,

The last couple of weeks have been beautiful weather here in the Pacific Northwest and I have found myself dreaming of the ocean just one more time.  The cold from the ocean and damp is not fun for me anymore as the long screws in my pelvis do not like the damp and cold but still my soul and body ache to smell the beach so here is one of my photos.  I take photos of things I can later write and dwell in I pray my essence has in some way touched your mind, body and soul to bring you to your knees for Jesus.

Attempting to live in this fast paced world without Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior well this would be impossible for me, you see for whatever reasons I have had many horrific things happen in my life that could have left me cursing Jesus and living another life.  Once I accepted Jesus into my life as my Lord and Savior he came to live inside my human body and help me make good decisions.

When I leave this crippled body and move to heaven I will ask GOD why so many tears, why was my life so difficult and painful?  But for now I am content to let my life unfold like a flower does in the spring as GOD takes care of his children he is the Alfa and Omega the beginning and end of all things.

I am not comfortable talking about the most difficult of things I have faced in my life as well I believe GOD gave us two eyes to look ahead not look back.

This I know for sure; Satin is a liar and he puts this little thing in our minds that says What are you going to do? Hurry time is running out make a choice of what you are going to do!  

GOD says “WAIT ON ME I AM WORKING ON THIS TO GIVE YOU FAVOR” the key is to wait on GOD, pray, and wait for the peace only Jesus Christ can give us humans.

Waiting on GOD is always the most difficult thing to do but if we wait, stand tall in our faith in Jesus Christ GOD will not only show up he will show off.  The bible states GOD will serve our blessings up in front of our enemies another words GOD loves to show what only GOD can do!

GOD is looking for people who will slow down in life sit down for a moment and talk to GOD like a friend would talk to a friend.

How to pray to GOD?

GOD is not looking for anything complicated he just wants us to say “LORD Jesus Christ come into my life I make you my Lord and Savior, forgive me of my sins for I repent of all of them.  Please don’t think you are the only person to sin each one of is a sinner.  Call our 700 Club Prayer Center 1-800-823-6053 I promise these people will help you as they have helped me so very many times.

If you can find a good bible based church that believes Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins than go to church as I promise you will feel better.  If you can’t find a good church listen to preachers on t.v. or the internet that inspire you to believe in Jesus Christ.

Prayers for Waiting On GOD In His Timing Not Ours

Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the GOD of my salvation; for You

You only and altogether do I wait Expectantly All Day Long.  Pslam 25:5

I trusted in, relied on, and was confident in You, O Lord; I said, You are my GOD.

My times are in your hands.  Pslam 31:14-15

My eyes wait for You looking, watching and expecting and You give me

food in due season.

 You open your hand and satisfy me with favor. Pslam 145: 15-16

If it seems slow, do not despair, for these

things will surely come to pass.

Just be patient!

They will not be over due a single day!  HABAKKUK 2:3 (tlb)

I highly suggest picking up Joyce Meyers little purple pocket-book The Secret Power of Speaking GOD’s Word. All the prayers came from this book.  One more thing I would like to share pray to GOD in Jesus Christ name as we only serve one GOD and this is precious Jesus Christ.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged! Melody

Update On My Health, Farm Life, Marriage and Car Insurance Dirty Little Tricks

Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm

Thank you for reading my blog, taking a moment to comment and share posts you are a huge part of the change our world needs.  You can be a human angel to a human, animal or our most precious environment this thing we humans call earth.  Our world needs more human angels!

Update on my health:

Spring has officially arrived in the Pacific Northwest we hit 60 degrees yesterday and oh my how this makes me feel better. The surgically inserted (3 long stainless steel screws) in my pelvis do not like cold!  I’m officially back to Physical therapy two days a week working with our third physical therapist.  I am very grateful to my physiatrist as she is the team leader of my rehabilitation.  This new physical therapist has advanced certification in neurological rehabilitation, a gait physical therapist.   “I see lot’s of stroke victims.”  Tears...  The screws in my pelvis along with the eight deformed ribs have left me with a physical disability one I would not wish on my worst enemy.  I continue to pray for GOD to take all this pain away.  Physical Therapy is never easy but I can say if your doctor recommends physical therapy do your home work and find the most educated therapist for the area you need rehabilitation.  Never give up!

2013 is the year my husband and me celebrated our twentieth year living together and our thirteenth year being legally married.  Nothing tests a marriage or any relationship like trauma and I am happy to report our marriage is stronger due to this trauma.  I love my husband so very much he is my best friend! My body turns fifty-three and reacts like I am 90, I still have a way to go on rehabilitation.  We live our life grateful always thanking GOD in Jesus Christ precious name for all of our blessings as things could have been way worse for us.

2013 milestones

My horse Miss Lily turns eight, Rio our Mammoth Donkey turns seven and Rocket Man our mini donkey is a stout nineteen years old.  We continue to pray one day I can trail ride again but for now we are grateful to have been able to keep our little hobby farm. All the animals are a bit to fat again so it’s diet time for all of them including the doggies and one kitty the other kitty has a high metabolism. The photo above is our rescue kitty Jasmine she just has the fat gene going on and her most favorite thing to do is eat and lay around.

Photo of Purcilla (black with her sister Jasmine)

Photo of me riding my horse Miss Lily,  Feb 2010 weeks before the semi truck accident working with Rio our mammoth donkey. Oh how I miss having my health! I have not been able to ride since 2010 nor has anyone rode my horse but that’s ok.

People ask me all the time, Does Your Horse Need To Be Ridden?

No she does not, she is just fine being a horse.  As you know I study Parelli and she is consistently being schooled on the ground with manners and rules for balance and boundaries.

I suffer from numbness in my ankles, feet and horrific rib pain and back pain with spasms, I can tell you the hips are directly connected to the knees and feet lot’s of nerves running down the leg.  The damp/cold causes the stainless steel screws in my pelvis to make my hips ache and back ache and yet I know GOD has me here for a reason. GOD has me in the palm of his hand.

Sadly motor vehicle accidents are extremely difficult to navigate here are some tips on what to do after a car accident.  Surviving a motor vehicle accident involving a semi truck can be deadly, injuries are more intense.  Take a look at Accidents involving semi trucks. 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR A CAR ACCIDENT VICTIM:

If you are riding as a passenger in a motor vehicle and you survive serious injuries you will need to find an experienced insurance attorney, who works in the town your accident was in do not pause.  If you have no health insurance it will be very difficult to get the medical attention you need as most car insurance corporations will not pay the bills until the legal matter is settled this can take three to six years. Insurance agencies are in the business to make money, NOT TO DO THE MORALE RIGHT thing for their client or the passenger never forget this.  

If you think going to trial will be easy think again….  Insurance agencies have created laws that will not authorize you the victim to tell the jury how much insurance the driver of the vehicle who hurt you has. This is all the game insurance corporations play to ensure the victim of the car accident does not receive a fair settlement and the insurance corporation will not have to pay full policy limits.  The cost of hiring an attorney is huge, the cost of not hiring an attorney is even more. Insurance corporations have an open check book for legal lawyers from Washington DC to the State and town you were injured in.

Please share your thoughts, questions and spread the news I have shared with your family and friends.  Knowledge is power and knowledge is light move out of the dark into the light and I pray you will ask Jesus Christ to hold your hand as you begin your journey into the light.  GOD in Jesus Christ name is the only way to navigate this thing called life!

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
