Love in Hide and Seek



On April 10, 2024 I decided to write a sweet little post about something that my hubby does for me each night since I got back from H.W.

It’s about Stanley the Bear, which he is named after the children’s book I wrote and (Squishy), which is his nick name, which he is a stuffed animal that I got from my friend L. when I was at H.W. ED Program.

He is so adorable, and when I was at H.W. I would sleep with him each night, as he made me feel safe when I was alone, as I could only see my hubby when he came for a visit on the weekends at the centre.

I appreciated that L. gave that to me, as she wanted me to feel less alone.  And I felt like Elohim (God) knew that there were times when I would get scared and He knew I’d need that soft stuff animal to smile back at me and help me smile even when I was scared.

So unexpected for me when I got home my sweet hubby decided to start doing a hide and seek for the Squishy when I got to bed.  Which he would have me try to find him somewhere in our room.  Because our room is pretty small it usually was pretty easy to find him, but of course every once in awhile it would be harder, and I would be like “Oh Squishy you are so silly”, example of when I found him on top of our drapes. 

But I could see that my hubby was doing that in love, and I couldn’t help but put a smile on my face when I see the cute Squishy looking back at me when I found him.

I felt special, which I knew that was my hubby’s simple way of saying I care for you and love you.  I knew also that my Elohim was showing his love through both the stuffed animal and of course my sweet hubby.

It’s the little things in life that can sometimes make such a difference in life, and that’s when you can really see Elohim working through things in life.

Isaiah 54:10      For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

 

Here’s a good song about when the sold ground seems to be falling out from underneath our feet and feeling like family and friends have let you down, that you can hear the rain reminding you that in the eye of the storm that Our Lord remains in control.  That in the middle of the war He guard our soul.  And He alone is our anchor when the sails are torn, and His love surrounds us in the eye of the storm.

When it seems like the dreams are slipping away and tears of pain and heart ache are pouring down our face we find our peace in Our Lord’s name.  And even when it seems like everything is going to be lost, to remember to our hope is to trust in Him.

  On Thursday November 5, 2015 since the weather had been so incredibly warm this first week of November I wanted to try to run a bit more.   My husband and I had noticed that my running times have gotten slower – we think it might have something to do with the weather being cooler.   I decided I’d go for a run after my hubby got to his work.   I have found that over the past few weeks with weighing myself daily my weight had gone up a few pounds more then I’d like and it seemed I was battling with my Eating Disorder a lot more than I had been in awhile.   I have been in recovery from my ED since sometime in March 2015, yet I do occasionally fall back into it, or feel like I want to embrace it again, which I know deep down isn’t a good idea.   I had a few reasons why I wanted to go for the run; one, to figure out if the cold weather was causing me to be more tired during my runs, which would cause me to run slower.   The second reason was due to my...

Helping my 10 year old self (Counselling)

Image
  On July 25, 2024 I decided to write about an important post about some things that came up during counselling. I was asking for healing from Yeshua (Jesus) & Elohim (God) with the Gut pain and any issues that may be the root cause of it. When I thought about that I felt that I said I feel scared all the time.   My counsellor asked what I felt when I was scared.   I said of Being Alone, Being Trapped with my emotions, being punished for being weak. Then he asked what are the emotions that are scary to be trapped with? I said Fear, Anxiety, Despair - Hopelessness. He asked me what I am afraid of and I said of dying alone, and I put that feeling 8 out of 10.   Then he asked where do you feel it in your body, I said my chest. Then he asked if there was any other fears, and I said Fear of living and not being able to handle it. -That’s when I had an overwhelmed feeling - connected to the 10 year old – of being scared of my dad and thinking life will nev...

Counting

  I decided to write this short post on Dec. 3, 2024, it’s been awhile since I wrote any newer posts as I haven’t been in the right mindset to do so.   My mental struggles have been really strong, and I often barley can get through the day. I just don’t feel like the same person I used to be, I know there is a caring part of me, but it just seems to be lost inside of me, so that even though I want to help people, that need is gone when I am so very focused on my own struggles constantly. But when I was just so lost, and trying anything to calm down, I got a reminder in my head of when my previous counsellor from years ago she mentioned to count to 10, and try not to think of anything else.   I tried it at first when I couldn’t sleep and surprisingly it helped me more than I expected.   For the most part I tend to sleep pretty easily, but there are times when my mind just keeps racing about my food obsessions, or how the day will be tomorrow, if I can get throug...
