Little tidbits of my life

Prayer Request...Sad News

I just received news this weekend that a friend of mine was found dead friday.  His name is Brian Ramsey and he is close to my age (I'm 34), so still quite young.  Since hearing the news, I've found out he evidently overdosed on methadone pills...and also, his bride is now expecting their first child!  I call her his bride b/c they've only been married a year or so.

I'm just so sad to have heard this news of him.  He was in my youth group when I was a teen/early 20s.  We were all VERY close, spent every single weekend together.  We'd have bible study, supper, swim together, take crazy rides, make home movies, just all kinds of fun things and we all bonded.  As we each got married and started living separate lives, we all lost touch.  I still consider them all lifetime friends, though and I am just so sad for his bride.

Please pray for his bride and family as I just can't imagine the sorrow and pain she is going through. 

UPDATE ON ME

Some folks here have written to see why I haven't posted lately.  I've not posted much lately b/c I've been sleeping alot and don't have much to share.  My rheumatologist had changed some meds, so it's causing me to sleep much more than usual, but the pain hasnt been as bad.  I was pretty bad a couple days ago and last night, though.  I think it was from the storm front coming through friday...not sure...I came home from church today and could barely stand from the fatigue.  My hubby put me to bed and I woke up 6 hours later!  I'm still tired, but not hurting now.  ANYWAY, I have a checkup appointment this week w/the rheumatologist and will probably get more test results.

Thank you for your prayers!

So sorry to hear about your friend, Teresa. It's so difficult to understand these kinds of losses. I'll remember his family in my prayers.

I'm also sorry that you've been feeling bad. I have too, so I do understand. The weather definitely plays a role in my health. I do not do well with cold fronts, that's for sure! I'm trying a new doctor tomorrow and I pray that she has something that can help. (My neurologist knows there is a problem, but can't find the trigger.)

Thanks for checking in with us. Praying that you'll start to feel stronger with each day.

Have a wonderful week!

Amy
