I am in a lot of pain tonight
 
Well, I should have known better but early this morning I helped mix a lot of concrete with some other church people...
I went to the doctor again today and he told me I have a serious back problem...like I didnīt know that! ha...glad he told me something I already know...I sure didnīt tell him I had been mixing concrete...
anyway, it is so serious he said at some point they will have to have back surgery.
He told me not to spend time sitting in the office working that that position would make things worse...lol...
anyway pain or not I have to go shopping tonight for the convention...folks start coming in tomorrow night and next week our convention starts...
We need some miracles in more ways than one. Would appreciate your alls prayers very much.

Momma, I will pray, but you really need to administer more, and let some of the younger folks do that. God sent you there to start the work, and now those who have been blessed by your work need to step up and help you in the work.

JMHO

Love ya, Momma A!

Lady!

You had no business mixing concrete!!

Praying for relief and you get the shopping done.

Re: I am in a lot of pain tonight
 
Sis Alvear, I know what back problems are like.
I will be praying!


Ps, please stay away from the Concrete mixing, that definitely is "men's work!"

Praying for you Sis Alvear. I can relate to a bad back. Will also be praying for helpers there.

Sis. Alvear,

I'll pray but please stop doing things to aggravate it. I have seen the pictures of your family and church members and there are plenty of men to do that work. Stop it!

Respectfully,
Rhoni

Mother A. I want you well.

Sister Alvear 04-24-2008 07:30 PM

Re: I am in a lot of pain tonight
 
yeah, I should not have done it but they were all working and they did NOT want me to but I wanted to help...
Just got in from shopping...two big carts full of rice, beans, oil, coffee, sugar, butter and a few other items for our people that are coming...
We are going to have a good time...
Our children from the jungle area left last evening, drove all night last night all day today and will stop for a few hours rest and should get here by Saturday morning f the old van they are driving does not break down...we are so anxious for them to get here.

Love you folks...

Praying for you and the work/.

Sister Alvear 04-24-2008 08:52 PM

Re: I am in a lot of pain tonight
 
Thanks...our people are so sweet. I try to do things with them I would never want them to think that I think I am better than they are.
Next week the doctors are doing an MRI on me ...
My colon tests came back and I am taking some pills but the doctor felt that all will be ok. The bleeding is due to a pocket that is infected...( I donīt always know how to express the medical terms in English)
Anyway, the Lord has been good and the miles on this old motor have been well worth the journey.

We are praying for you and the church. As the brother said earlier learn to delegate sis. Get younger backs, legs, and arms doing some of the work for you.

Sister Alvear 04-25-2008 07:00 AM

Re: I am in a lot of pain tonight
 
I really do delegate...I just wanted to help them...They do not want me doing one thing of heavy work...but sometimes I think I am young again...
love you folks and thanks for your love...I feel it.

Antipas 04-25-2008 07:33 AM

Re: I am in a lot of pain tonight
 
I read this shortly after it was posted. I want you to know I've been praying. I think it's precious that you wanted to help. That's a blessed example of servant leadership.

Mother, your life is a testimony to your love for people.

My confidence is in the God who gave the call, knowing He will give the needed strength and wisdom. I apppreciate that you are sensitive to our concern for you. :friend

Re: I am in a lot of pain tonight
 
Sister Alvear I do pray you are feeling much better today. I know what it is to feel in your mind that you can do anything....but the body does not recognize the same! lol

Hope you all have a powerful annointed convention! :)

You're in my prayers....God's blessings upon you!

Sister Alvear 04-25-2008 10:36 AM

Re: I am in a lot of pain tonight
 
I am so excited about the convention. I love the gatherings of Godīs people.
