Thank God, I get a do-over on yesterday. It's called "today". I can now try again to accomplish some/all of the things I had hoped to do yesterday.
In my life time, I have watched God heal a dwarf hamster, a teacup poodle, my daughter (of two very serious conditions), myself, my grandson, a tape deck, and a freezer's ice maker, as a result of my prayers. The dwarf hamster had a "huge" growth--huge by dwarf hamster standards. I laid a finger on it, prayed for it and, by the next day, the growth went away. It never returned and the hamster lived many months thereafter. The teacup poodle was bitten by another dog and her spinal cord was damaged. The vets forecast that she would be paralyzed for the rest of her life and recommended we put her down. We prayed for her. Over time, she learned to walk again and lived another 8 years. My daughter, during the first 20 years of her life was diagnosed with bilateral mirror image JRA and with another life threatening illness. We prayed and she was healed. My own back, with no more muscle spasms, is another testimony, one I'm proving every day. My grandson had two different tests confirming Celiacs Disease. I prayed, receiving the witness of the Holy Spirit that he was healed. Subsequent tests by a very hoity toity specialist in the field of Pediatric Gastroenterology confirm--no Celiacs. I used to listen to religious tapes during my long commute back and forth to work. I prayed over the tape player in my car after it ceased to work and it started up again and worked til I bought another car. Not long ago, the freezer stopped making ice cubes. It went several days without making a single ice cube. I prayed, it started up again and hasn't quit since. So, I prayed over this computer. I'm counting on it being "healed" too. In the last couple of months, I've had to buy a mouse and an EHD. I've taped my gel-filled mousepad together with strapping tape so it would stop oozing sticky stuff all over me. I've taped the keyboard together. I am NOT wildly enthusiastic about spending more money on this computer. So, I've prayed for God to fix it. I'm sure He knows how.......... And this morning, it is not screaming at me as it was the last two days....... I'm sure the computer guy would fix her up and do so at a very low price. But I now think it was the hard drive that was misbehaving and I know if that failed, I'd be stuck buying new versions of a lot of software. I can back up everything, but "installing" software on a new computer or on a new hard drive generally requires original software. That means buying a new edition of PSE, of Office, and lots more that I use continuously. And that would mean lots of cash I am not prepared to spend. I know that the money I have now may be what is used in December to buy food!
So, what about this gift of today? Well, I got new product uploaded for the CT late last night, but I had forgotten to do a preview for the glitters, so I have to do that early this morning. Then I need to get it uploaded for them. Then I can go back to finishing up those two kits I've got in the works.
Around here, pretty much everything that was on yesterday's to do list needs to be on today's to do list because I mostly just got all crazy in trying to get that CT update done and in watching this computer churn away on back ups. I did put in some time working on this desk, and it looks some better, but it needs a lot more done to it! Well, none of that today. I have "better" things to do! So, I'll just flip back to yesterday's morning post and start there!
Alright. I got new product uploaded late last night but I still need to write the new product update for this blog and I need to post a new product update in the A Cherry On Top forum and those things need to be done immediately. So, I can't linger here. You be blessed today!
Phew! I'm sort of caught up. I've read from Christmas to the latest post which is timed at 4:54pm in my Googlereader although I'm sure that's not the time you've posted it. Ooops! Just noticed the time under your post is 8:54am so that means Googlereader must be timing it in MY local time and not yours. It seems I'm 6 hours ahead of you so I'll have to take that into account in future.
I'd love to be able to read your trials and tribulations for the past year but not sure I'll be able to however, I will be dipping in and out of that period of time when I can ... perhaps a few posts a day :0)

That sounds about right. Didn't you say you're in England?

Yes I am Marci. I'm born, bred and live in Brighton on the south coast, about 50 miles south of London.
