Trinity Jewelry by Design – Page 4 – Jesus is for the Wounded

Thank you for being out there for me in cyberland my dear blog friend. You help me get through some of the subtler parts of recovering from Lyme Disease. It’s the journaling that makes a difference. And maybe knowing that some of you are praying for me too.

It’s different than a prayer chain at my church or my husband’s humble update about me at the end of our Wednesday night service. You read this in the free time of your busy, distracted, already filled lives. You can hit delete, open a new window, or simply ignore me in a flash if that is your desire. No one will probably know if you read this or don’t. I hope I never take that for granted!

By the way, earlier today I did make it through my second craft show. Praise the Lord! You would crack up if you saw me walking with my husband through our local discount warehouse store, Sam’s Club, afterwards: a little crooked, leaning on the cart, then finally letting the cart that my husband was pushing through the parking lot, pull me back to the car! I was pooped! Five hours later, the four hour nap was behind me. I’m doing much better now, thankfully.

So just for you is a special coupon if you are also fans of Trinity Jewelry by Design: free shipping! Just use coupon code: BLOGFRIEND at checkout. This week I hope to add bracelets and necklaces from Threads of Hope. Their friendship bracelets and jewelry create work for impoverished families in the Philippines under the ministry of Alex and Chris Kuhlow. And later next week, the wooden bracelets from women in Nairobi, Kenya and Market Colors will complete our main product lines for this year. Check the References section of this blog for more info. on these great organizations. Call it making a difference: meaningfulness conveyed through jewelry. Cool beans.

I am humbled what the Lord has allowed me to accomplish this year. Blogging and jewelry are welcome distractions from illness. Thank you for being a part of my life. May the Lord bless you!

As Saturday gets closer, I’m as excited as I am nervous about what the day will bring. It’s a big day for me, for sure.

8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. EST Lord willing I’ll be participating in my first Craft Show at a local church. My display is spread out on the living room floor, ready to go with both knotted hemp and gem/mineral stone selections from Trinity Jewelry by Design. I am humbled at how the Lord has used this business to keep me going during the trials of Lyme Disease recovery. Up late at night, working on the jewelry, posting pictures at my online shop, or researching gem/mineral stone descriptions, this has kept me sane. I did not lose my mind to the forgetfulness, spaciness, brain hiccups after all. Praise the Lord! Now I just need to finish up a few things, set up on Friday night and somehow get my butt out of bed (without seizure attacks or headache, please) and to the church by “way too early” Saturday morning. Who buys crafts at 8 in the morning? Geez. Maybe the early hours are for the Cookie Walk that’s at the same time?

And if I get there, I’ll be able to do what is needed because I love this kind of venue. The sweats, the word-finding difficulties, the head pressure, the pain won’t matter as I will be in my element. Let’s hope the budding throat and ear infection doesn’t take hold either. If it’s spiritual warfare rising up then I know there’s victory in Christ Jesus. See Romans 8:38. No worries there, the issues that are coming up are just “temporary setbacks,” eh?

As if this isn’t enough, there’s another very important appointment at 3:00 p.m. I am honored to be the “guest patient” at a special training course in chiropractic neurology per the invitation of my family doctor. Perhaps they will find the key to the seizure attacks and the cure. Perhaps my doctor will have in hand the result of the sleep-deprived EEG last week, coupled with all my test results. And with a sleep study scheduled just 2 days later on December 3rd, there should be plenty of data to come up with a plan to annihilate these debilitating episodes. Hope is on the way! I’ll bet after the energy stretch of the craft show in the morning, there will be plenty of fireworks for the class to witness. Humbling to have to be a guinea pig. Hopeful for some help, in the end.

So now it’s time to prep some product info. for my friend’s gem and mineral stone jewelry. It’s all in the mix. I feel sick. I’ll do it sick anyways. It’s Craft Show season, and I’m in! Cool beans.
