CHALAZION (KUH-LEY-ZEE-UHN)

So, Laylabug has had a pea sized chalazion on her left eyelid for about 2 1/2 months.  We saw a  pediatric ophthalmologist who told us to continue with warm compresses 4 times a day for 15 minutes. If the chalazion doesn't clear in 6 months when we have the follow up appointment he will schedule surgery to remove it. It doesn't hurt or bother her but it seems to be getting bigger. We were not that consistent about compresses initially, it's tough to do it on a 1 1/2 yr old,  but have been doing them at least twice daily now. I just worry about baby girl having anesthesia for surgery if need be, but can't imagine her sitting still with only local anesthesia. So yes, most definitely praying the bump clears with warm "twaillitas,"  Lord Hear My prayers. Blessings to all! Peace, Love and Laylabug.

Chalazion on left eyelid 

I received an out-of-the-blue text from an unknown number this morning. This person was in need of prayer and was reaching out for help with a personal relationship. I read the long text and immidiatley felt sad for this person. I was able to relate to a few things they were going through and thought wow...soomeone else knows exactly how I feel in this similar situation. I replied not knowing who it was, but letting them know I would keep them in prayer. My BFF Sonia has been there for me during hard times and has given me the best advice...and always asks me..
WWJD, "What Would Jesus DO?" Giving it to Jesus is easier said than done, but always works out for the better.....we're only human, we WILL feel some pain during our lifetime on earth...but God will hold our hand through it all..we will get by. To the beautiful soul that text me..you know who you are.....My heart goes out to you. I will keep you in prayer...!

A prayer for anyone who needs it:

Dear heavenly Father THANK YOU for giving your only begotten son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. Please bless and help the people I know and don't know. Bless all who read this prayer. Lord I ask to heal any troubled relationships and keep us away from the enemy. Bless us with patience until You do Your will. In Jesus name AMEN!!

Shedding Tears is natural

Just got off the phone with my momma, I love her so much. I got emotional...feeling the loss of my brother..and started crying to my mom. She made me feel better with her words of love and hope...and then she cried with me. We can't believe Jesse is not here on earth with us anymore. But we both said God took him to Heaven because He didn't want Jesse to suffer anymore! I just wish I could hug my brother Jesse one more time...and feel his hugs. i can feel him sending his love shining down on me from Heaven. God is guiding us every day...and Jesus is holding our hand through the storms in life. I thank God for giving me this life of mine, for my family, for my blessing named Layla...to quote lyrics of a song that I love "I will remain confident in this, I will see the goodness of The Lord" I love that....i love God....I miss Jesse all the time...and Jesse wants me to keep living life being happy and cheery and to show Layla a good example. Layla sees her Tio's picture and she sticks out her lips and wants to kiss Jesse's pic :) It's never easy for anyone to lose a loved one...but look to the sky and feel peace that your loved one is in Heavenly peace...paradise...with out King! I love you Jesse....forever....and ever...Til we meet again brother. I'm sure he's with our beloved Chiquita too..(our Chihuahua).
