Prophesy!

I Thess. 5:20 (NKJV) Do not despise prophecies.
I remember a long-ago conversation with a friend. We were discussing the book of Revelation and end times prophesies it contained. She said,"I don't like to think about all that stuff. It's just too scary!"

That statement stuck with me. It seems like Christians fall into two categories: Those that love Biblical prophecy and those who detest it. The Hubster and I fall into the former division. We study prophecy throughout the Bible, read other texts and attend meetings and seminars on the subject. To me, it is fascinating.

Every day, as I watch the world's current events, I see prophecies; governments at war, natural disasters, crime and disease. There are positive predictions, too, like how our Savior is coming back. One day, when Christ comes to Earth to reclaim His church, the prophecies will be fulfilled.

I don't want to head to Heaven until everyone I know has heard His story. The ending is the best part! Don't miss out by hiding your head in the sand.

Tuesday, August 13, 2013, is Female in Motion's 6th blogaversary! That's a lot of words, photos, time, sweat, tears, prayers and work. Thanks to everyone who reads my blog weekly, shares my posts on Facebook and talks about my blog with friends. I just want to be an encouragement. That's why I'm here.

I have been asked to be a member of a panel discussion entitled, "Point/Counterpoint," at the Kansas Writers Association's next meeting, this Saturday at Rockwell Library in Wichita. I'll be sharing my experiences as a blogger/inspirational writer and answering questions, as well.

Female in Motion's Exercise Update:  I did three disco aerobic workouts last week. Since I finished chemo in January, each time I exercise, have a hot flash, or otherwise exert myself, I get this nasty prickly feeling all over. It's like being stung all over by tiny bees. After sharing this with my comrades at WhatNext.com, I found out that it is the chemo leaving my body through my pores. Yuck! Don't worry, I'm not quitting exercise. The more I sweat, the faster that poison leaves my body!

Congrats on blogging for 6 years! Wow! Sorry to hear about the bee stings, but chemo leaving you body sounds like a good motivator. Congrats on your anniversary and continued health.

Thanks for your comment, Sharon! There are lots of little "details" about cancer that nobody tells you. I'm grateful to be healing.

Female in Motion Health Update

I am at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL, tonight. I flew in last night, spent all day in the waiting room and appointments. I have a headache, my feet hurt, my burns hurt and I'm exhausted. Man, I hate it when I'm whiny. The good news is, I'm doing well. As Dr. Citrin put it, I'm one tough woman. He was shocked that I was able to travel so soon after finishing radiation. He took one look at the burns under my arm and prescribed some aloe vera gel with lidocaine and some pain meds to help me sleep.  I will start Arimidex this week, too. In the bad news department, I am not in any state of mind to write tonight. I have to be up early in the morning to catch a flight home, so I will say good night and God bless each and every one of you: for your prayers, for your support, for being you. As I promised, I will post the piece I've been working on very soon. Thanks for understanding. *** Notable Quote:  " John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave w...

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Too much of a good thing is not good at all!  When I was a kid of six or eight, I had an obsession. It was a food obsession, particularly with Chicken in a Biskit crackers. It was a doomed relationship from the start, because even at that tender age, I realized the glaring spelling error. I found a box of those crackers in the cabinet one day, quietly put them under my shirt, and slipped downstairs to the family room, where I proceeded to watch Major Astro and eat the entire box . It wasn't much later when my tummy started to protest. Too much of a good thing was definitely not a good thing. After spending several hours in the bathroom that evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Even the best food doesn't taste good in reverse. Since that day, even the sight of one of those crackers makes me  slightly nauseated. I can't go near them. Seems like a lot of us are looking for something to fill in the nooks and crannies of our lives. The temporary satisfaction that an...
