This is the first of a handful of Speaking/ Reading events scheduled for this fall. When I look back to where I was last year.. it’s surreal to see where this path the Shepherd has had me on.. has led to…although feeling tremendously honored…
sometimes I’m a little bit overwhelmed by it.. and the concerns I have about my health…
For those of you who have prayed for my health.. I would say that overall it’s improving.. some days I can be up for several hours.. up to 8 or 9… so thank you for praying:)
and yet still.. I often feel the weight of concern as to whether or not my body is up to this.. I have some issues with my right eyelid and vision.. frequent bouts of asthma.. sudden episodes of dizziness and fatigue.. and worst of all.. frequent bouts of severe itching over all of my skin… and muscle cramps/ spasms… all of which have rendered me pretty much house bound for the last two years… which has been very challenging because I love people.. and engaging in physical activity..
Some days can still be hard… and then I struggle some with dread.. about how I will manage these speaking / reading events… silly huh… after all that the Lord is doing…
( I used to be the kind of person who viewed a trip to the grocery store as an exciting opportunity to socialize with other shoppers… I love to make friends.. and laugh… used to ride my bike regularly in 100 + weather, was a total gym rat.. and still miss the 10 K runs I used to compete in years ago.. )
Sorry if this is too much information.. but I am reaching out to you as my friends for continued prayer that all of this long term Covid stuff would just… stop.. I would really like to be able to enjoy the wonderful places the Lord is taking me…
Hugs,
Kimberly

I understand your concerns, Kimberly, as I had similar health concerns. Travel and speaking are exhausting and exhilarating. It’s invaluable to meet your audience around the world and receive feedback. Perhaps you can do a limited amount of long-distance travel.

Thank you:) I think my biggest concern is that one of those symptoms might hit while I’m up front speaking…

I’ve been able to spend bits and pieces to work outside in our beloved Meadow Arc.. but I know that if something starts up.. I can deal with it right away by laying down… or drinking rosemary tea or olive leaf for asthma… and that I can walk around and drink aloe or pickle juice to alleviate cramps…
