Yeeees!


I've been trying hard the past months to submit my blog to anywhere it can have more readers. Then I acidentally found DeafRead. I hope the human editors will see my post about my ALD.


From tonight onwards, I will try to post more about my experiences, thoughts and feelings about my deafness. As some sites have advised- Don't be shy.

Amnesia

flowers at church last Sunday



we were at table no. 5 during our church's post valentine party



I woke up this morning with a vague pain around my neck and left shoulder. The beginnings of a stiff neck perhaps which I promptly asked the Lord to heal. There was also a little headache when I opened my eyes around 7am so I decided to sleep more and I woke up at 8:30 am. Then I saw on tv that it's a non working holiday today as it is Edsa I anniversary. I decided today is my holiday, too. I deserve a break. So since this morning, I have not done anything praiseworthy or industrious in nature. I just watched a little of SIS, a little of Takeshi's then the high noon news. I am following Lozada, ok?
Youngest son left to work and eldest son came to visit as there's no work he said. There's still the stiff neck and the tiny headache so I tried to drink the left over blue pepsi only to change my mind when I read from the label that there's aspartame in them innocent looking pepsi. I even suspected the aspartame in the pepsi I drank last night caused these fair maladies I'm experiencing today. I decided to have a cup of coffee instead and from the feel of things, coffee seemed to have cleared the headache, lessened the neck pain and perked me up so now I'm blogging.
I have been studying in my mind some of the things I learned from our bible study lessons at precepts and from the blog posts of my sis MTDTee. I think another problem area in the Christian personality is forgetfulness or in some cases full blown amnesia. You see, Sunday in and Sunday out we hear from the pulpit when the pastor speaks or when the deacon prays about Christ's finished work on the cross. It was a complete and perfect work when Christ did the will of the Father, died on the cross for our sakes so we will not suffer anymore. But by the way most of us, including me, behave it seems we're always trying to finish what Christ had already finished on the cross for us. Christ's work on the cross is complete, nothing has to be added to it. We just have to believe, continue believing and not forget. In that way we can relax and not be fidgety. We can serve the Lord with gladness, worship Him in awe, and richly bless others from the abundance of His love.
