THE HEAVY LOADS WE CARRY FEBRUARY, 2026

The Heavy Loads We Carry

My dear, cherished friends, 

I am writing to you from my apt, sitting in my cozy, comforting recliner.

I see Life as a gift from God! 

I also see Life as a rollercoaster that refuses to stop for me so I could take a long, complicated breath, much less rest for a few moments! 

Life is hard! 

Life is challenging! 

Life is unpredictable! 

Life is frightening! 

Life seems as if I am playing a game of cards.

You are holding 3 of a kind in this Card Game of Life.

I bluff and have the other players believe my bluff of have a Full House! 

It's seems I am describing my life and how I adapt to how Life can be!

Life is painful!

This is especially when I am the sickest totally describing when I feel like CRAP, literally!

I also feel safe in the coziness of my recliner and in the apt I have been living 2009.

I am sick, dear friends! 

My blood pressure is super high. My oxygen saturations are lower than my baseline but, not in the critical numbers. 

I have a slight fever which is not critical at this time.

It's been about a week, maybe longer of not feeling okay. 

I recently was struck with pneumonia.

I finished the regimen of 2 antibiotics.

The side effects of those antibiotics painfully turned my stomach inside out!

As of now, I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and was prescribed another antibiotic which I am still taking!

I have been living in "POOP CITY!" 

Diarrhea, vomiting, weak and exhausted!

I have been sleeping more, much more!

At times, my eyes just close and the necessity to sleep is overwhelming!

Yes, dear friends, this morning I totally, I feel like crap, totally! is now, on this moment, I fix my gaze up, seeing into the Heavens!

At the Throne of Mercy, I lay down my heavy, overwhelming, tired, tattered, ripped, torn, shattered, devastating load!

I pray and I pray and I pray!

I pray this for my friends, my family, church family and for all of you:

My loving friends, my family, my church family and for all of you, all of us who carry Iowds far too heavy for us to bear, I pray that the enormous weight of these massive, astounding loads be lifted!

I pray for peace, lasting peace!

I pray for wisdom, realization, kindness and charity to flow through the veins of all! 

Please join me in diligent, heart fill prayers for the sick, the lost, the angry, the lonely, the alone, the foreigner, the persons who feel alone, the caretakers, those persons in the relentliss work of caring for people, adults and children who need help!

Please pray for my church family, my pastor and all those who have boldly sacrificed to save souls!

Dear, Cherished Friends, Let Us Fixate Our Gaze Upward Into The Heavens, Reaching The Magnificence and The Glory of Our Lord! Let's Pray For Each Other,

dear family, friends, church family, caretakers, the people who are the medical profession and for all of us who carry losds too, too heavy to carry and go on.

I pray at this very moment that all of us humbly and without hesitation, leave our massive, heavy loads at the Throne of Grace!

Love, 🙏 prayers, gracious gratitude and all that us good stuff,

❤️

  My name is Evelyn This is my Story! This is my Truth! I had the grave misfortune of needing emergency care and eventually being hospitalized for a life-threatening bacterial infection! I also had Sepsis! This bacterial infection had been relentlessly and viciously attacking my body. Upon arriving to the Emergency Room, I was placed onto a gurney with high fevers of 103 and rising still and extremely high blood pressure with a high and rapid heart rate. Before the Emergency Room, while still at home, my blood pressure and heart rate were dangerously high and alarming. On a hot and humid summer day, I was freezing! Despite multiple layers of shirts, sweaters, pants and jackets with a huge pile of blankets covering me, I was still freezing cold and with a strange inability to get and feel warm. Knowing my body well + reliving previous experiences of sicknesses and pneumonias, I realized that time was was of the essence and that I needed to get to the hospital immediately! The ambula...
