“What do you want me to do for you,” Jesus asked the blind man of Jericho. “Lord, that I may see,” he said. “Receive your sight, your faith has saved you,” Jesus said.

Just as simple as that and the man ceased to be blind!

What will I ask the Lord now? That I can focus on my work, finish all my projects and be productive again. Will He say, “receive your wish, your faith has saved you?”

I’ve never lacked on faith, it is the only thing that has propped me up on my series of setbacks this year and even the previous years. I just feel so tired and unfocused with my life right now. Like a leaf being blown by the breeze, I just drift along.

Life as we all know it, can not be lived that way. What with monthly bills to pay, groceries and food to buy and all miscellaneous expenses, one really has to work to live unless you have an inexhaustible supply of money from somewhere. Well, I think I have from God’s Providence. He has provided for me through my mother and sister. God Bless them always for their generosity.

Very hot body

shivering inside

double pajamas,

comforter wrapped tightly around,

socks on hands and feet

still the shivering wouldn't stop

so cold to the bones

i longed for warmth

to stop the chills

i went to my mother's room

and cuddled up to her embrace

when the trembling stopped

sweat, leaked like a lake

i kept changing clothes

to make me dry

it kept us awake

how i longed for the night to end

for days, the fever raged inside me

my body grow weary

from throwing up anything i took in

Eat, eat my mother and sister would say

Fight the infection, don't give in to the germs

Ate i did, in sips and swallows of food

that might have been sawdust

to my tasteless tongue

for a time there

when my body got so weak

i thought it would be easier

to just silently slip away

I'd like to share this beautiful poem that i found in this site: http://www.rogerknapp.com/inspire/paintbrush.htm
