Several weeks ago I was hit with something so intense that it stabbed into my heart faster than a champion butcher could debone a chicken. Not childbirth, broken bones nor even a hit in the chest by a seven hundred pound wild~eyed bovine has come close to the pain I have endured. I feel as though I've had a Cardiectomy. Just like a star in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, this chick might as well been a living sacrifice in the underground temple of the Thuggees and let Mola Ram reach into my beatin' chest and yank my heart right out. It has left my spirit lower than an Ozark black snakes belly in a muddy tractor rut. Sadly I am in a position I can do nothing but pray and believe me I've prayed. Forgive me Lord for I am not a patient person...I'm Nezzy, your action figure, a doer, a fixer and a peacemaker.
Yep folks....I'm a Martha. I'm the gal ya see speedin' across the room or yard like a flash of lightin' makin' sure that everyone is well fed, havin' a grand time and gettin' along with one another. I take action. It's the way I fly....I'm just that kinda chick. I see a need, I get~'er~done! Now, will ya'll see me sittin' at the feet of Jesus' soakin' in every sweet breath of His Word like Mary??? You bet your sweet bippy ya would but you could wager your bottom dollar I'd be trimmin' his toenails and scrubbin' his callouses while makin' sure he had his favorite snack within reach along with a nice cool tall glass of iced tea in his holy hand. I'm about as confused as a hungry cow on AstroTurf just waitin' and prayin'. It's Hubby who reminds me that we don't have the answer but we know the Almighty One who does. It is Hubby who recognizes the helplessness in my gaze and tells me, "it'll be allllll~right!" He says it so well. I know it will be all~right 'cause I know who holds tomorrow but that sure doesn't mean I sit still well or the pain is any less consuming.
Barry and Robin Gibbs touched on the subject in their soft~rock adult contemporary ballad sang by the Bee Gees in 1971 released by IBC Studios in London on the Atco Label, "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart." I sing out the words, "please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again!" I know God is in control and I covet your prayers. I'd be much obliged if someone could tell me " How Can You Mend A Broken Heart ???"
Note: A Cardiectomy is a scene outta Indiana Jones Temple of Doom where the heart is removed from a living sacrifice. I have not had a heart attack, surgery,my heart literally removed or any physical ailment concerning my heart. What I'm experiencing is totally emotional.

ReplyDeleteHave some heart and give it a try. ;) I'll be praying for you, that you can.
He is the Great Physician and because He can - so can you.
Ohhhh my I don't know what to say. I'll be thinking of you and have you in my prayers. Keep a smile on your face - smiles help alot.
ReplyDeleteOh, Nezzy, sending prayers from NC faster than the hilarious Nezzy-isms fly out of your fingers!!!
ReplyDelete'Lucy'
Thinking of you, and praying that He gives you peace, and the answers you need!
ReplyDeleteBlessings...
Oh, sweet Nezzy I was so hoping you were doing a lot better than this by now...still praying for you sweet friend. You truly are gifted with a sense of humor that even works through pain. Can't wait to hear the pain is gone and you are doing wonderfully well. Bib hugs!
ReplyDeleteNezzy, my heart is with you.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what all is breaking that beautiful heart, but I know that you have the faith to leave it to the Master Healer.
Prayers for you.
I know the painter of that beautiful picture, he lives in my town and I know the model of his rendition of Martha.
She's a beautiful woman.
There is a need for a Martha everywhere.
Doers of good.
Hugs to you my sweet friend.
Faith and time...and people praying for you. Count me in. :)
ReplyDeletePraying for you! God has a plan, sometimes we just need to put it in his hands, it's all we can do.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Jill
Good Morning Nezzy Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I will be storming the heavens with prayers for you sweet friend. I looked up cardiectomy and I do not like this one at all. Please slow down sweet friend, rest as needed and have a little FAITH. This too, will heal in time. Maybe God is trying to tell you, that it is time for a little vacation. He doesn't want you running any more marathons for awhile. Listen to him Nezzy,please.
I know this is unfamiliar territory for you, but it is time you staked a claim here. Rest and enjoy. Pick up a magazine or two and read a little. You MUST take it easy.
You are in my prayers sweet one. Please keep me posted. R-E-S-T. I love ya girl, Sherry
Oh, my sweet Nezzy ~ You are having quite a time. Know that you are being lifted in prayer, sweetie.
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a way of sharing ... makes one laugh & cry ... keep your humor up as it will be your best medicine.
You are such a jewel, Nezzy. I'll writ eyou an email now.
Hugs & love,
Marydon
Hi Nezzy, Well I am worried now..something must have happened..of course you can count on my prayers. I am encouraged that your husband says things will be all right...it is hard for the fixers to be the ones that wait. Keep your chin up ..and do whatever you can do instead of dwelling on the things that you cannot change. I am sending you a hug:)
ReplyDeleteWonder how many of us thought they were writing that post....just not saying as well as you....Praying for you....There are so many broken hearts ..seems everywhere I turn I know of another one....Love you
ReplyDeleteMy dear Nezzy, I don't know quite what to say other than be assured that I, along with many, many others, will be thinking of you and praying for you. You are a special lady and we all love you and your witty way of writing! Take care of yourself and rest up and let the healing begin. (((Hugs))) Cheryl
ReplyDeleteWell Ms. Nezzy, I'm praying there is a 3rd definition to that big word. Not knowing what truly is going on I'll put in God's hands and know he will see you through. Sending prayers.
ReplyDeleteNow if the heart that is broken is the pictured above; get rid of those band-aids and try duct tape :)
Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
Nezzy, I don't know what's up but God never gives you more than you can handle.
ReplyDeleteLearned that first hand in Cleveland recently. I was passing a kidney stone in the ER as my dad was gasping for breath. Had I of been there, in ICU, I'd been kicked out for smacking a doc and a nurse. God knew I couldn't handle it and the only thing that would take me down is a kidney stone! By the time I saw dad his eyes were open and he wanted a kiss from me!
Yesterday was a horrible day for my daddy. I thought I was losing him. I'm only 42 and very selfish, not wanting to let him go yet! We still haven't went trout fishing like we said we would for the last couple of years!
I don't know what's going on with you but just trust in God! He's holding your hand right this very second!
HUGS!!!
Oh my friend, you are sooooo entertaining! Praying mends broken hearts! I'll be praying for you my friend!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs! Love and prayers coming your way!
I also just looked up the definition, and I'm so sorry you are going through this. It sounds pretty awful, but your sense of humor is shining through as well. For heaven's sake! I am so sorry and am wishing you well. If wishes were all you needed, it sure looks like you would have enough. Hugs (light and gentle ones).
ReplyDelete*hugs* i am sending lots of healing vibes your way!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Nezzy, you sweet thing, sorry you are in pain and have to sit still, but it is a doable position. I was so like you, doing everything myself and for everyone else. The hardest thing for me when I went down was watching everyone else do MY jobs. There is a reason and God is in control. Maybe there is some job he wants you to do sittin' on your butt. I have found plenty of things to do here in my chair. I will let you in on a little secret- the more you help someone else- the faster you will heal and the more the pain will go away. Figure out your new mission. You probably know what you need to be doing. Something he has put on your heart.
ReplyDeleteI did a post about Angel Dawn this morning asking others to join me in making easter bonnets (hats) for her for spring and summer. My plan is that everyone have them shipped to you by April 1st- and if there is a truckload, she can share them with her friends at St Judes.
Honey, how long are you going to be down while you heal and what did the doctors say about the future?
Hopefully it's not going to be a forever thing, but if it is, he still has things for you to do.
You touch peoples hearts and your example of how you handle this will inpsire so many. Your words are priceless. God's gift to you will make your world and everyone else's so much better just by being you and being His light in this world.
Hugs- Tete
Oh, Nezzy, you have my thoughts, my prayers, my love and any thing else you may need or want.
ReplyDeleteIt will be Allll right!
Healing love flying your way!
This too shall pass Nezzy girl. I know it doesn't feel like it at the moment. Not a fun time at all. I am praying and know you will be out chasing those ladies in the field soon. Sometimes we just need to set a while and get re-energized.Have you tried whistling or whittling? LOL! I kid you hon. Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteWow ! Nezzy, it sounds like you have had bypass surgery. My hubby said it felt like a semi truck and trailer landed on his crest. You have mt prayers.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say. You will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that you have been feeling so bad. Sending well wishes and prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteWHOA NELLIE! Are you speaking literally or figuratively or both? What in the world happened? WHY did you have a cardiectomy? Was it a HEART cardiectomy or a cardio stomach cardiectomy? Did you have a heart attack, or some underlying condition that we didn't know about? Lord knows, you've had enough on your plate lately; you sure don't need this.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, through it all, you've kept your sense of humor and good grace. You are an amazing lady and one of the strongest I've ever known.
Don't you dwell on that song - it's a great song, but it's hopeless, AND YOU ARE NOT HOPELESS! You listen to that man of yours - everything WILL be alright!
Good grief, girl - let us KNOW something!!!!!!
I pray that Christ surrounds with people who can touch you with the healing gifts He gave them and bring you through this difficult time with an even stronger bond with Him. kt
ReplyDeleteI'm puzzled. I had to google Cardiectomy to see what was involved and it did say removal of the heart.. so It looks like you did have something major going on. Spring is coming so I think this is the time to stop and smell the roses. Just smell them. Not fertlize, cut, dethorn, arrange and deliver... just smell. And take care of yourself first. We're all here sending our prayers your way.
ReplyDeletei looked up the word Cardiectomy before i read to the bottom and thought OH NO, it says removing the cardiac part of the stomach. I was so relieved when i got to the bottom and you said NO surgery. But really sad that your heart is hurting. God gave you a wonderful sense of humor and He will use that to help you through whatever this is.
ReplyDeleteI missed the "did not have surgery" note, but was glad to hear that part from you. I had seen your comment on another blog giving support about pain of the heart and soul. Having had heartaches and breaks in the past I have found that some are healed with time. Others only get a bandaid and are still painful to the touch, like a bruise.
ReplyDeleteHoney--
ReplyDeletePlease know that BIG HUGS, PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS are beig sent to you from Mr. Ken and I.
I hope things straighten out for you soon.
We love you!
Melinda
Nezzie, Im so sorry for this worry about your lovely heart.

It does sound like you have a great hubby by your side. And lot's of blogging gals who care about you too!

Big Big Hugs,
Cindy
You're in my best thoughts, dear Nezzy. I hope your pain will subside soon. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your pain, and I just said a prayer for you. God truly does have us, even when we are sad, scared and cornfuzed. Rest in his arms Nezzy......and don't worry, I'm a Martha too!
ReplyDeleteNezzy, I am so sorry for what you are going through. I hardly know what to say but rest assured I will be praying for you and keeping you close in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya,
ReplyDeletePray'n you're alright! Big Hugs your way!
ReplyDeleteYou are looking the right way for help. I am so sorry your heart is hurting. I will be among the many prayig for you.
ReplyDeleteYour name is taped to my computer screen so I will not forget to pray for you.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so unbelievable and serious.
You still have that great humor and a wise husband. Hang tough and do as you are told. God has work to be done that my be something you never thought or dreamed of.
Love Katie
Oh sweet friend, I sure wish I could reach through this computer screen so I could hug you...and whisper in your ear that you are not alone. There are lots of us out here in Blogland that will be praying for you and rooting for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kat
i am sorry for your pain...a broken heart is truly deep pain...and yeah i can see that scene from Indy...yikes....hugs and prayers...
ReplyDeleteJust want you to know that I'm thinking of you today Nezzy. Just keep listening to that sweet supportive husband of yours :)
ReplyDeleteWith a faith like the one you have I have every reason to believe that your broken heart will find healing and peace. I will pray for you and hope that our dear Lord sends healing and comfort your way. I've found that many times in my life there is absolutely nothing I can do but thankfully the good Lord can and he always does. I sure am sending Lots of Love and Hugs your way and trusting that soon you'll be good as new, maybe even better.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are having such heartache Nezzy. I'm praying that God takes care of whatever is happening and your heart will feel better!
ReplyDeletePrayin for ya ! Keep up that wonderful spirit and humor !
ReplyDeleteI am alot like you in the bending over backwards to make sure all have what they need and are happy. Its part of who we are care givers, nertuers and am happy when others are happy ! Take care my friend and may the man upstairs heal and comfort you.
It seems you have 'advanced' from a physical Herpes Zoster to an emotional Something to do with your big, loving heart.
ReplyDeleteOh, Nezzy this is a sign from Above that you must slow down, take things easy, easy.
Big Hugs to you!
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. {{hugs}}
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what you are going through, but I do think I can identify. For two weeks in Jan. the dr. was thinking I had cancer and for two weeks I was a tee-total basket case! Cried myself a river all the while praying that God would take this cup from me. Feeling like a heel because I knew others out there much more deserving than me were battling this horrible disease. Like you I am not a patient person and so I wanted God to answer my prayer then and there. Well, long story short...He heard my prayers and it wasn't the Big C...and I am soooooo,sooooo thankful. I pray that God will answer your prayers too, but we must always remember that sometimes He says Yes, sometimes No, and sometimes Wait...but one way or another, He does answer our prayers.
ReplyDeleteOkay, thanks for the addendum!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your pain and will pray for you. Thanks for sharing with us and hoping you will heal fast. We don't have to know what is causing your heartache but I'm wondering how your sweet young angel girl (with cancer) from church is doing. Love you in Christ.
ReplyDeleteSending a prayer up that your days will be looking up soon!
ReplyDeleteKeep the faith!
I'm so sorry to read that you're hurting so. If it would help, or make you grin, I'd be SO happy to stick a 'tater into somebody's muffler if it could help ease your pain.
ReplyDeleteSeriously...Just say the word.
I don't know the cause of this pain...but know, that we women survive, because we have to. The sisterhood is behind you, and so is the great solace from above.
I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Peace and blessings... and lots of hugs. I'll keep you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, Nezzy! I'm sending a big huge hug your way. I've had the feelings you speak of. Didn't think it would heal. But it did. Finally. It hurts. Yes, it hurts. But time will heal. Hugs & hugs & hugs! -Tammy
ReplyDeleteNezzy....You bring sunshine to my day.
ReplyDeleteYou are Blessed because you have hubby there supporting you. There is no mountain that you can not climb. There is no storm that you can not weather. You have the power through Jesus Christ to rise above any situation. No one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heaven. God sees, HE hears, and HE is in control. Bless you and know that you are in our prayers.
Hugs,
shug
Nezzy I'm praying that God heals what's ailing you really fast.You kinda sound like me with your busy active lifestyle and some times when something hurts or I'm sick my Hubbie says "maybe it's God's way of shuttin' you down for a rest since you don't have sense enough to know when you need one" !!
ReplyDeleteHoping your shut down ends soon !!!!
Prayers coming your way for sure.
Ohhhh, Nezzy! I have no idea what has hurt your sweet dear heart so deeply that it has literally stopped you in your trakcs, but am thankful that the Lord does know and will hear all the prayers being said for you!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Tammy ~@~
After I had horrible visions of your heart beating on a table outside your body, I revisited and Thank God, it was not the health fiasco I had imagined.
ReplyDeletethank God, your health is good, now you must tell about the emotion!!!
I really think it is in the air lately. People being down and out when it is usually a rarity. Someone told me to seek my passion and let it lead me. My passion eludes me and could decide on a direction if my life depended on it.
I have heard crazy glue mends almost anything so, maybe give that a shot.
You know..... I wish I could tell you how a heart if fixed.. but I can tell you that once upon a time many years ago. around 1991.. I broke and my heart broke with me... I was born again and loved the Lord but I was very suicidal and wanted nothing more than to die. I could not even imagine how in the world HE could fix me.... But fix me HE did but it took some time.... Today so many years later I am still amazed at how HE heals a heart. I remember those days and that pain that a pill could not reach.. I remember the agony that came up from a place that no Dr could reach. I remember the nights that I cried until no more tears but still cried. HE healed that......How does HE do that....HOW does HE heal something that we cannot see or touch or Dr cannot prescribe medicine...... HE heals..... I still find it to be the most amazing thing..... It did not happen over night but on day the pain was gone.. My favorite saying even today is
ReplyDeleteI used to cry because I was in pain, and now I cry because the pain is gone.....
HE heals the unseen broken heart..... HE heals.....
You can count on that!
Nezzy, your words brought tons of comfort to me, knowing that we all experience heartbreak and disappointment. I'll make a deal to pray for you if you also pray for me. :) Mending broken hearts is God's specialty.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you're in such pain. I'm praying God will comfort you and such a way that only He can. Hope everything will work out according to His will. Blessings, Jackie
ReplyDeleteoh dear sweet nezzy...how to mend a broken heart...emotions are very hard to mend in a hurry...time is a healer but what to do while it's all happening...trust springs to mind sweetie...sending big hugs to you from an emotional dzintra who has just broken her arm
ReplyDeleteNot sure if this is a physical thing with you or if your heart is being torn apart by heartache that you are unable to do anything about. No matter what, prayers are definitely going up for you! I am felling a huge heartache right now too that I am powerless to solve. Sometimes we have to trust God to help and let friends be our solace. Hard to do when we are doers. I care dear friend.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya sister-friend! Whatever the trouble...you are in thoughts and prayers that all will be all right!
ReplyDeleteFor me, the first thing to happen to mend a broken heart is to just let go. Let it all go. You cannot change things, you are not in charge, you need to take care of yourself and be healthy, in mind and spirit. When you have really truly let go, you can be a helper, either quietly or vocally, but out of love not fear. I am so sorry that something is so awful it is hurting you. I am sending so much love your way and lots of hugs.
ReplyDeleteBless your heart, honey.... please know there's a little gal in Tennessee praying for your need.
ReplyDeleteSometimes there`s things that we cannot change,we just give it to God {& our blogger friends to pray for us.}You are not alone in your broken heart,we have all suffered one too.May God bless you, & hug your hubby!phylliso
ReplyDeleteHow you can be so darn funny while you're heart is aching I'll never understand. But I love your words and your heart, which I'll be praying heals. Hugs to you, dear Nezzy.
ReplyDeleteOh Nezzy! I'm speechless and broken hearted for you. But know this, I too was a Martha (still am, to a certain extent); but God taught me to be a Mary. It's hard to wait, but my life journey has taught me that God always comes through and He really does know best. I'm prayin' for ya honey!
ReplyDelete(PS - Baby Beluga was a song my 1st daughter and I sang along to with Raffi. It was a favorite. Plus they're so darned cute.)
Love ya dear!
I hope you are feeling better by now. I love to remind myself:"This too shall pass".
ReplyDeleteLike you, I love make the world a happy place. A few years ago, the Lord put me in my place and I went thought open heart bypass surgery because my heart was really broken in a few places. Since then, I have had to re evaluate my life. It has been a stuggle but i'm still here and still trying to make the best of it all.
Hugs,
Rita
I'm thinking of you Nezzy...hang in there and we'll keep the prayers coming!
ReplyDeleteSending you loves and big hugs my friend. :D
ReplyDeleteSending hugs your way and praying for a quick and complete mend of your very loving heart.
ReplyDelete=)
I am so sorry to hear the grief in your words. And still, you make me smile with your light humorous prose. I hope you find healing. The best I can offer is to just surrender to it.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs,
Julie

I just prayed for you darling! If I could mend a broken heart I would as you are one of the most darling persons I know, and you put a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteLove you
SC
Oh my friend Nezzy - I am so very sorry your heart is broken and I just hate to know that it is and I can't do anything to fix it....but pray. So pray I will. BIG HUG to you!!!!
ReplyDeleteNezzy I hate to hear that your heart is breakin' over something or someone. I think you have just about had your share of heartbreak this year. Just know that you are tucked close to my heart and that you are on my mind. Crank those oldies up Nezzy Gal and before you know it you will find a way to fix it or find a way to cope with it.
ReplyDeletematters of the heart have always been difficult for me. I do wish you all the best in sorting it all out.
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is from the big queen of broken hearts. I know whatever it is, no matter how much it hurts, you're going to be okay. Maybe not as soon as you'd like to be though. My thoughts are with you. I hope it works out.
ReplyDeleteWhew! Thank God you're not dying! I'm just getting to know you. :)
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and prayers your way. God Bless You.
I'm so sorry this hasn't resolved itself. If it's any consolation, I loved the visual of you giving Jesus a pedicure :)
ReplyDeleteWell, tight squeezes around your middle from me. I pray that you'll find peace in this land of turmoil.
ReplyDeleteNezzy, not sure why your heart is broken - but I hope God heals it for you soon. I pray also you find some peace. I have been in situations like this and I know it hurts.
ReplyDeleteHugs and prayers to you.
sandie
Honey I wish I were there to give you a big huge hug. I read all of these sweet loving comments and you have a whole lot of people that love you and are praying for you.
ReplyDeleteIf I could tell you how to mend a broken heart you know I would. I have had mine torn open so much that just yesterday and so odd now that I have read this that I was thinking there could not be too much left of mine and then I read this.
In this past year you have been through so much with your Dad and sweet Angel Dawn your heart has to be broken. The only thing besides prayer is the darn saying Time has a way of mending our hearts.
Sorry honey I am not much help. No one wants to hear the word Time because that is not a fast fix for a broken heart.
Maybe you need a vacation where someone else can take care of you. I am here if you want to come to the ole North Forty. I promise to keep Tinkerbell in another room while your here.
Gretchen and I can certainly entertain you and spoil you.
Love ya honey.....hang in there
Maggie
Oh no, Nezzy. Is it Angel? Did she not make it? ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteSending thoughts, prayers and hugs your way!
ReplyDeleteOh Nezzy! I'm praying for you! Praying for your aching heart!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say that you lifted this girls spirit and made me laugh out loud. What a picture of you sitting at Jesus' feet clipping his nails. I laughed so loud my sissy came up to me and wanted to know what was so funny! Lady, even when your down you pick others up with your humor! I Love You! Hang in there!
Nezzy, a little award awaits you over at my place. I enjoy reading your blog very much.
ReplyDeletehttp://growingupinwaldron.blogspot.com/2011/02/award-from-suldog.html
I'm sorry hun. I am adding the strength of my prayers to the many others that are being sent your way. Peace and all good things are being sent your way.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. What ever it is, LEAN HEAVY ON HIM, It's the only way. I'm holding you and yours up to Him.
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love, hugs & a bushel of prayers.
Don't know what's going, Miss Nezzy, but looks like you are being lifted up to the Almighty by all these good folks. Add my name to the list. Keep smilin', dear - you still make us smile even through your hard times. Laughter is the best medicine I hear. Stay strong.
ReplyDeleteObviously I don't know of your own Personnal pain......but I KNOW emotional hurt and sorrow. When I lost my son, it seemed unbearable. I prayed so hard for the Lord to heal him, and it was not to be and that shook my faith for awhile....but only cause I was hurting so bad. I KNOW the Lord has a plan, and He had/has a plan for Matt.
ReplyDeleteSometimes there are things that rock us to our very core.
I'll keep you in my prayers. and I loved your comparrisons with Mary and Martha.
Nezzy you amaze me. Whatever you are going through, you still take the time to stop my blog and read my complaining. Honest, sometimes I hope I don't offend you with my rantings. I will definately keep you in my thoughts and hope your pain and sorrow melt away.
ReplyDeleteDear one appreciate your honesty during this difficult time for you. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteYou poor sweetheart! I hope your pain goes away really soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me ~ and I am sending you good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteCatherine
So sorry for your broken heart. Feel better soon. Prayers sent your way.
ReplyDeleteHi Nezzy! I have not visited for a while and am saddened to hear you're going through some really hard emotional stuff right now. Thankfully you have the loving support of your husband and your faith to help you overcome this hurdle.
ReplyDeleteI can empathise fully with your impatience - I am the same when it comes to emotional matters. I want to get things sorted out NOW! Unfortunately, this is just not always possible, especially when others are involved. The best way forward is to try NOT TO DWELL and to treat yourself kindly. Put yourself and your needs first for a while, hard as hat may be for you to do. Perhaps this is the lesson for you...to learn to make yourself a priority. You cannot go through life wanting to nurture everyone else, least of all when you need self-nurturing.
Allow yourself time and space to breathe and to reconnect with your own needs. Take a leisurely bath in candlelight, ask your husband to massage your feet afterwards and allow yourself to drift into your favourite music while that's happening. Give yourself entirely over to THE PRESENT MOMENT! Listen to the birds, smell a flower, sip a cup of tea in your best China, savouring every mouthful. SLOW DOWN! Take conscious deep slow breaths. Exhale fully. Visualise the hurt leaving your heart. Visualise your heart healing. The answers you seek will come to you if you allow yourself time to simply BE!
Hugs,
Des xo
Thank you for visiting my blog Nezzy. Your comments are always a good Pick-Me-Up which sounds like something that you can use. I am so sorry that you are feeling as though your heart is broken. None of us should have to feel that sort of pain. God will listen to you. He has to. I said a silly little prayer yesterday, for my husband, and a few minutes later I found that God had listened to me! So keep on prayin', hopefully your heart will me on the mend soon! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleteYou care - you give, you love with all your heart - you believe. It's the valleys that allow us to enjoy the peaks when God gets us through them but I know it's so very, very difficult. I'm a caregiver in a high school health room and my 2nd job is with high functioning intellectually challenged adults. They fill my heart with joy every day. My prayer for you is to a peace, feel God's love and gentleness - He's with you now and always, Jennifer come visit me sometime jennsthreegraces
ReplyDeleteNezzy, so sorry you are in the midst of some emotional heartbreak. It's even harder when you are a 'doer' and can do nothing about it. Prayers.
ReplyDeleteIf we've ever needed You Lord, it's now...

It is often hard waiting and it is sometime harder trying to find His Will and Way in everything that goes on in life but in the end, He is always there to hold you and heal those broken hearts.
ReplyDeleteI feel you! Not being a patient person either, I'll hold your hand while you wait!!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt's rather amazing how broken hearts keep right on beating, isn't it?
Hi, Nezzy, just stopping by to say I am thinking of you. hugs and blessings on you today
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you got such bad news. You are right, when something is REALLY bad, only God can help you, so ask him. In my religion we say that God never gives us more than we can handle. Be strong daaahling.

ReplyDeleteHi! There's an award for you at my place!
ReplyDeleteHugs- Tete
I'm glad to have found you....even if it is in the midst of heartbreak. But heartbreak is something I can identify with, and the way you have written about it is enchanting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find your answers quickly. Waiting is never fun.
Yeowch. I do hope your heart starts feeling warm and cozy and happy again soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your writing style too. I don't know what you're going through of course, but we are going through some gut-wrenching hard times too, so I sympathize. I hope it will indeed be allllright.

I don't know what is breaking your heart, but the humor and faith you have is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am going through really rough times too and I wish I had a quarter of your faith and optimism.
Found your blog through Saturday Sampling and very glad I did!
Just popped back here to see if you're feeling any better???
ReplyDeleteI hope everything works out. In fact, I know it will. He is in control.

ReplyDeleteNezzy girl,
ReplyDeleteAs one emotional chick to another, I just have to say that you must keep on praying, cuz you never know when THE prayer might be the one He answers! If you stop prayin', He'll never hear it... course, in the mean time, me and 123 other peepol are out here prayin' prayers for ya too, so I'm pretty sure we've got His attention!

All I know is that there are heartless people, who if you DID try to cut their heart out--they wouldn't find one in their chest. Obviously, that isn't you--and it may take awhile--even a long while---but that hole that's in your heart will be mended. One day.
ReplyDeletePrayers that the heart ache dulls and the heart songs increase- whatever is paining you, I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Nezzy,
ReplyDeleteYou always make me smile with your sweet comments!
I am so glad your heart is physically ok. I hope that it's not broken feeling too long. That can make a girl sick too.
Hugs friend,
Cindy
Time. Nothing can mend a broken heart but time..and even then..the scar remains. It helps to have support from loved ones and I know you have that. Nothing will help. I wish it could, but it cannot.
ReplyDeleteLove? If that helps, I send my all of mine. It's all I have to give, precious friend.
Mona
Thank you so much for stopping over at my blog! What a treat! I feel your pain as I'm in a similar situation and can do nothing but pray about it. Thanks for your inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my thoughts and prayers. ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteOh please tell me that hillbilly TV stand was yours! And have a wonderful weekend, sweetie!
ReplyDeleteHope and pray that whatever it was you were writing about has eased up! If it's something in your family, I relate. Our daughters have been estranged for a long time and it hurts. What would we do without our heavenly Father who listens and heals in His time? Blessings on your hurting heart, sweetie!
ReplyDeleteMy affection for you milady. Nezzy, definitely you are a Texan, you are a strong and brave woman!!!,
ReplyDeleteGod bless you Nezzy!!! :0)
