Life has been hard the past year. It seems sickness creeps in when you least expect it..I've had alot of ups and downs after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have had two surgerys in 2008. One on my foot and one on my shoulder. In October of 2007 my husband lost his job and we lost our home and car, and lots more. Depression set in, and I've had trouble with depression and insombia for years..treatment is just now doing some good..it seems the pain gets worse at times when the depression lurks in and out of life. We had to move in with my daughter in 2008 but God is so good...in May of 2008 God finally supplied the right job for my husband. We got another car which is a 1975 Nova ..its not as good as the last one but it gets us where we need to go.

Hubbys job isn't what we are use to the income is lower but God gets us through and some brothers and sisters in Christ have helped us with needs for gas and food at times.

I was born in Detroit Michigan and raised in Warren Michigan, in 1994 we moved to Grayling Michigan and pretty much raised our kids there..In 2005 we moved to Ohio for a job offer that fell through after nine months..after a few months hubby got another job installing dishes for a dish company, that lasted about one year due to their mistakes that job fell through. This is when we lost our home and car and we had to sell our stuff just to keep food and lights on..well we lost that house after two years, thats when we moved into my daughters house, then in June 2008 God gave us the house we are in now, and gave hubby his job in May. The landlord we have now is christian and she is really so sweet, she told us after she found out we are faithful with rent that if we need a brake she is willing to give it.

Hubby and I have been married for 20 years and we have been through so many hard times and good times..In Michigan we we're never eligible for medical through the state because income was good, in Ohio we seem to be eligible...for the four years I have been finally getting treatment for clinicle depression and fibromyalgia..we have raised three kids and we have two grandsons whom we love so much, and another grandbaby on the way in October of 2009.

I hope you enjoy the photo's of me and hubby and our two precious grandsons.

When I'm going through a hard time with pain and depression I always remember even when I feel God is far,

He always said he will never leave us nor forsake us, and also this one, I know the plans I have for you,

plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

Sometime during life we cause our own pain, and when we realize this we have to suffer our own consequences..God is good all the time and His ways won't lead us astray.

I really don't know what caused this depression I live with day after day, and the fibromyalgia, but one thing I do know, I have suffered alot and I know Jesus has suffered more, but in my heart is a Savior that will always be there, no matter what I'm going through..during our time in Grayling Michigan we went through some trials...my mother got really sick and had to come and live with me for a few months until me and the doctors and the Lord of course got her into shape to where she could live on her own..then mom moved into her own apartment..she is now in Ohio with me and in her apartment...she had a few set backs and God pulled her out..We have had war with family I have dealt with a 16 year old that came to me telling me she is with child and we accepted that and got a new grandson, who will be two in June..I've had my kids move in and out of my house, but God gave me wisdom in this matter to love them the way he wants me to and not to turn away because he would never turn me away. God is so good..all the time..

I will be adding more to this testimony soon..

Love BettyB
