Hot flush day!

Hot flash! " Hot flashes, a common symptom of menopause and perimenopause, are typically experienced as a feeling of intense heat with sweating and rapid heartbeat, and may typically last from two to thirty minutes for each occurrence. The sensation of heat usually begins in the face or chest, although it may appear elsewhere such as the back of the neck, and it can spread throughout the whole body. Some women feel as if they are going to faint. In addition to being an internal sensation, the surface of the skin, especially on the face, becomes hot to the touch. This is the origin of the alternative term "hot flush", since the sensation of heat is often accompanied by visible reddening of the face."

Today I tried to get out and run some errands, yep run cause man all the sudden my bff came Hot flushes!! Yep it flushes my brain out!! Just as I finish taking a bath with "cold"water, ell it says cold but here in the tropics there is no such thing as cold! I start my flushing period! Those hot flashes come more speedy than a bullet!! I get all sweaty and everything I try on makes me flush more!! All the menopausal dwarfs visit me at the same time!! hat is when I definitely say God is not a women! Just imagine Him with all the meno symptoms at the same time! Not a good idea!!

I heard a Christian speaker once say that thank God, Moses and God were not mad at the Israelites at the same time! They would of extinguished that generation till the end! So that is how it is to have a hot flash moment!! If you had the capacity you would eliminate humanity or at least those close to you! When I feel that hotness coming up to my body I feel like I am in war! Well I looked for the most comfortable clothes I could find, no make up cause all the sweat makes it worse and off I go! Not the nicest looking person on the street all sweaty and my hair dripping but did all my errands almost killed one not so nice mailman but succeeded and only gave him the "look".

Its hard to be menopause and hypothyroid at the same time! Don't know which one is worse! But it must be harder been God at a time like this! Things are very hot these days! There are wars and rumors of wars! People killing any one on the street! Violence, rape, incest, robbery, killings, you just do not feel safe and secure! But we have the promises from God that He will be with us till the end! He gives us hope and cools our spirit with His loving Holy Spirit! Thank God his mercy endures forever! When we come to Him in prayer He refreshes our soul and uplifts our spirit! He can make those hot flashes feel cool and welcoming when we hang on to His presence! He changes everything and makes it bearable! Isn't my God so awesome!! He refreshes and uplifts my life!! And He can do it to you also just give Him your life and you will see changes!

God always wants the best for you!! He always has plans of good for your life! Accept Him and give Him the authority to spread throughout your hole body! He"ll refresh your spirit and uplift your soul! God bless you and guid you always! God is the best!!

Spring Cleaning 2013!!!!

Psalms 51.10 (NIV) Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

I've been part of a "Spring Cleaning Challenge" reading and meditating in God's word. Man can we accumulate junk in our house in one year even in six month!! We say we are going to use something later on and we just put it away and pile it up!! Been learning with this and other challenges that your home reflects who you are, and yes it reflects God! That was one of the questions she asked "Does your home reflect God?" Our God is a God of order! No chaos in His vocabulary! Jesus even took time to fold His sheets when He was Risen from the tomb (John 20.7)! Wow! I had to look retrospective into my life and meditate on it!..does my home reflect God? Does your home reflect God?

I had a Psychiatrist who told me once that when a person was depressed it as hard for them to go into their closet and clean it up! Well yes it is cause their is chaos in your mind and you feel lazy and not in the mood in other things! Well Mario and I moved into our own apartment on December 2012 (thank God!!!). An apartment that I had asked The Lord for. Two bedrooms cause now we are only a household of two. We did all the moving and placed as I was able cause I was too sick, but their was a room that we just left all the boxes there. O we'll get to it we said! I think we passed a couple months avoiding the room till finally on march I looked at Mario and we decided hey we are in a depression here for what? for a empty next syndrome? No way! We might be losing our heads but that doesn't mean we have to get depressed here! What the heck?! Our son is getting married and finally we are getting rid of him!! Lets live!! In one day we cleaned up!! Placed everything where I wanted, cause it's always where I want it, and yes! A beautiful office space was born! Aww an office with air conditioning and so peaceful I just love!

You can pray Lord creat in me a clean heart but you have to do all the working for it! Jesus took His time and folded each sheet and came out from the grave to do His job! You got to move take your time if necessary and go from chaos to calm! Come on step out of your tomb!! Do your Spring Cleaning! Look around, does your home reflect God? Best of all does your life reflect God? Choose life! Awww Spring cleaning is so awesome!!

Always remember God wants the best for you! Move towards your best always!! Many blessings to you my dear!!

From my desk with love!

We all make New Years resolutions! Yep all of us do! 97% of the resolutions do not go through! We all get lazy, tie up in life and never make the a reality! This 2013 I didn't write any. I was sick and felt ugh so what for?  Well definitely got my year starting out as one of the 3% that'd something about it! The first great one is that I finally got to meat my cousin's son Lui! Awesome kid! Awesome time!! Family is just great!! Specially when you are 54 and feeling it!! You  start feeling something different!
I went to my first 10k of the year, although didn't practice much, cause yes I was feeling sick, I decided to do it! Thanks to some recomendations from my cousin Dr. Carlos Gabriel I was able to walk a bit faster and make a better time!Oh and was able to invite a good friend and see her have fun on her first 10k!! Proud of you Ivy!! Went, walked and conquored!! Yess!
This year also did something I had never done! I am an avid Women's rghts advocate! believe we are capable of everything we can put our hands and succeed!! I'm against domestic violence!!! of any kind!! My husband Mario says if I would of ben young adult in the 70s I would of been in the movement specially throwing out the bras!! (I hate to use bras) And yep I would of!! So God definitely knows best and places us in different eras! Gosh! Well went to my first march! It wasn't nothing violent or miss behaved in any way! It was a beautiful march made by beautiful women sending out the powerful word of God to those in need! Too bad other women didn't participate! It was awesome! Only one friend of mine went and I felt super cause of her! Thanks Maritza you did good!!!
One great change has been going to find a church where I would feel comfortable in the worship and receive   good word from The Lord! We had not gone for two months to any church, while I was in the hospital did not receive from the small church that we were going not even a call. I felt bad and lonely about it! So when all was a bit better I told Mario we are going to go to this church and we did! Felt awesome since the moment we arrived!! Love the worship team and felt good to se the pastor worship and dance to The Lord in spirit and truth!    
Oh and finally yep something changed in my life these past days!! My son Carlos Ivan got married!! Yep I couldn't go to be with him neither families did but he married his beautiful girlfriend!! So isn't that nice!! What else can a mom say!! My son is a married man!! A simple wedding at the court house and I know they were beautiful cause he is a fine looking man! (He looks like his mom) .  My advise to him: Finish studying or I will kill you!! Well at least I hope that will get into his system!!
And finally I got my work space ready for me!! My daughter says what work? You don't do nothing? Well ya maybe some people say that of me but my husband tells me ignore them! You have what you deserve!! Time for you!! Time to dedicate to your ministry!! He is the one that pays so I am starting to love this time of my life!
Through all this I got depressed and although I encourage everyone to exercise I wasn't doing none and eating just for relax my self so yes........drum role..........I gained 15 pounds!! So finally The Lord has finished speaking to me and yelling cause I am deaf that yes His plans are for me too! Yes He will come through!! and Yes I can do it!!
So this is what I've been up to now!! 2013 up  to now has bought me some little changes that will become bigger and greater in my life! God gives us different life changing experience in witch we either embrace have fun and join the ride or make ourselves miserable and ugly for the rest of the available time! Its up to you to choose death or life!! I decided to choose life! I have decided to follow Jesus plan for me!!I've decided to embrace Him!I've decided to start a new exercise regimen and try not to over eat, that's my bad. I do need more friends who as I do to them will be in my life to pray for me and to encourage me! I think I need some!
Today all comes from the deep of my heart with all my emotions desde mi escritorio! From my work desk to you with love and blessings! Truly yours, Evelyn
