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.

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!

Prayer For Courage and Determination

I am strong and of good courage, I do not fear nor am I afraid for the Lord my God he is the one who goes with me. He will not leave me nor forsake me! Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV)
I am strong vigorous and very courageous. I am not afraid neither am I dismayed for the Lord my God is with me wherever I go. Joshua 1:19
I am strong and courageous as the Lord my GOD is with me to help me fight my battles. 2 Chronicles 32:7-8 (NIV)
As I wait on the Lord with courage he shall strengthen my heart. Pslam 27:14 (NKJV)
He spoke to them saying take courage I AM Stop Being Afraid! Matthew 14:27
Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real
When Life Is Too Hard – Hold On To GOD’s Promise
We must never forget that most of life is about praying, waiting, dreaming, having faith and then one day GOD answers our prayers and we move to the next level.
Blogging has become a way for GOD to wipe my tears, recharge my mind, plant a dream and finally write down what I see in faith. Big difference between faith and pushing to get something my way without including GOD in my plans. I have learned the hard way that GOD wants to be part of every single inch and detail of my life. GOD does not want me to pray only when I am desperate and nowhere else to go, give GOD a try nothing else to do. GOD wants me to pray each morning after I open my eyes, during the day, before I get in the car, before I go to sleep. GOD wants to be the most important part of my life and GOD does not like to be second or the last plan he wants to be driving our life.

GOD wants us to share how GOD helped us, How he did what no other human could ever do
GOD loves all his children and GOD is a GOD of Justice and Mercy. GOD can make the mountains crumble, GOD can restore what has been betrayed, broken, destroyed and make new again. GOD can not make us love GOD as he gave us free will, if we choose not to believe in GOD how can we expect GOD to release the angels from heaven to go to work for us.
When life is just too hard, everything has went wrong our mind, bodies and soul seems to be physically defeated this is when we must dig in, Hold on to GOD’s Promise and never give up as GOD is in control of his children. We are not in control over much other than the ability to pray and have faith Jesus will hold our right hand and make a miracle, crooked roads straight. We must never forget GOD’s children are to lend not borrow we have been given favor to help others.
When we are weak and shattered this is the time GOD can use us to help others, it’s really hard to use us humans if we think we never need GOD. This is the time when GOD can show up and show off to share with the world he is the great I AM. GOD can show the world what GOD accomplished not what we accomplished. No human can do what GOD can do.
Prayers For Hard Times
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
And my people shall never be put to shame. Joel 2-26
I am just a person I shall live by faith. HABAKKUK 2:4 (NKJV)
He Spoke to them, saying, Take Courage! I AM Stop being afraid! Matthew 14:27
It is GOD’s desire that I be free from all anxiety and distressing care. 1 Corinthians 7:32
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither (wearily) toil nor spin nor weave; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory (his splendor and magnificence) was not arrayed like one of these. Luke 12:27
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

If We Get Quiet and Pray GOD Will Tell Us What Is Next In Life
Howdy,
My 50th birthday was going to be in Maui, Hawaii or at a minimum some place dry and warm as I am a planner, I had been thinking about this big milestone birthday since I turned forty. Sadly just weeks before my 50th birthday I found myself fighting for my life in Harborview hospital, Seattle, WA intensive care. My 50th birthday sucked and was horrific I will never ever forget my 50th birthday.
Just weeks before the trauma hit with the semi truck I was planning a huge surprise 50th birthday party for my husband. I had a fun party space with old cars, motorcycles, Elvis stuff, music, catering planned out and I was going to have a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle sitting in the party spot with his name on it. I had called many of our life time friends and family and it was to be a huge deal. Just a few weeks before the accident GOD placed a heavy weight on my heart to not do the party cancel it, I have learned to listen to the nudges of Jesus so I cancelled the party. Received all my money back and took my husband to pick out his Harley many months before his big 50th b-day, it was indeed the right thing to do as GOD knew what was coming and I did not. I took my husband to get his Harley just weeks before the semi truck accident and three months before his birthday, chilling how GOD works. GOD is amazing.
Interesting thing; when I think back to this event I would pray and GOD placed a heavy burden of pain and suffering over my body, “I felt like my husband was weeping, crying and in great sadness.” I thought something horrific was going to happen within his family as his parents are aging, this sixth sense I was feeling was all about me. I did not know it was me that would be the cause of my husbands tears, loss and stress but this I can share I knew something horrific was going to happen and I knew he would need a great escape. A Harley was something he had wanted since he was a young boy just like I had wanted a horse since I was a young girl. Since my husband made my dreams come true I wanted to make his dreams come true.
What if I was too busy to not pray and get quiet every day? GOD could have never ever given me the sixth sense I needed to take care of my husband. Remember to always take time for GOD, make time for GOD as he knows everything that is best for his children. GOD is amazing.
Me & my husband on his 52nd Birthday 2012
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Prayer For Favor

God is rich in mercy, and he loved me so very much, that even while I was dead
with sins he gave me life when he raised Jesus Christ from the dead all due to my sins.
It is only by God’s special favor that I have been saved!!!
For he raised me from the dead along with Jesus Christ as I am seated with him in the heavenly realms
all because I am one with Jesus Christ.
And so God can always point to me as an example of the incredible
wealth of his favor and kindness towards me, as shown in all he has done through me
through Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 2:4-7 (NLT)
The Donkey Is Humble

A donkey is truly humble he/she is Not concerned with who he should be. He isn’t concerned with himself at all, but instead he’s concerned with his pasture buddies and the most special human in his life who does not abuse him.
I think we humans can learn from the Donkey making our most fragile world a much better place.
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
Donkeys and Elephants
Select Donkeys Vs Elephants
Copied from http://www.peta.org/issues/Animals-In-Entertainment/elephants-broken-spirits.aspx
Elephants are so intensely emotional and protective that it is well documented that they experience great sadness over losing their young, and it must horrify them to watch their babies tormented in servitude.
Most elephants used by circuses and zoos were captured in the wild and forced to leave their freedom and families behind. Some people mistakenly believe that captive breeding will help prevent elephants from becoming extinct, but elephants who are born in the breeding centers of circuses and zoos (also known as captive-born elephants) can never be returned to the wild.
Animals used in circuses live a dismal life in which they are dominated, confined, and violently trained. Workers routinely beat, shock, and whip them until they learn to perform meaningless tricks that are confusing to them. If you love elephants, never go to a circus that uses animal acts.
Want to learn how you can help Elephants select Elephant Advocay
