To all who prayed for me after my urgent request, I think, in early April, thank you sooooo very much! Believe it or not, I had 15 false accusations waged against me by a local government agency due to the words of one employee! Here’s the scoop:

Due to my Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), I was on a medical leave unexpectedly longer than originally planned. My employer approved medical leave resulted in an unexpected and illegal termination. And because of the termination, I had to apply for short-term benefits. That agency viewed me as fraudulent based on an employee’s suggestion and my employer’s denial of my medical leave.

Long story short, to clear my name, and qualify for short-term benefits, I eventually learned I submitted ninety plus pages of written documents and images showing I did indeed have an injury AND was on an approved medical leave from work. In spite of all of the paperwork, I was then subjected to multiple sessions before a justice to testify against the false claim held MYSELF. I basically served as my own attorney. Lord! But no fear 😧 s involved in this because the Lord simply allowed me to share the truth! Oh my, the entire month was extremely trying. And because of those accusations, I nearly lost my apartment because during the entire month of May, as I was unexpectedly dedicated to settling that matter, I had only $180.00s to my name! Yes, pray for my poor credit card debt!

Anyway, you #mighty folks, your prayers resulted in the Lord miraculously and surprisingly covering my rental fees and clearing the false accusations. Also, and more importantly, your prayers provided me the strength to continue to confront this very demeaning situation rather than succumbing to an absolute depressed state, which I was in when I first requested prayer in April. My TBI PTSD nearly tipped me over the edge, literally. So I thank you all sooo VERY MUCH!!!❤️

I am learning. Yesterday, I was completely off from all activities and rested solely as a means of recovery. So I started my early morning panic as I hear the city’s commuters filling the streets. I decided to write down—and out—my racing thoughts. Suddenly, I stopped writing and trying to analyze my emotions as I told myself, “Hey, I don’t have time to do this, I am missing out on my agenda. I have some resting to do.”

And for the first time during this eight month medical leave, I realized, the goal of the leave is to stop thinking, analyzing, lamenting, figuring out a workout regime, and stop playing app games that require problem solving according to times I once set. I have one goal on my agenda: rest, rest, rest my brain.

So now I sit waiting for a bus after taking a wonderful walk outdoors. I completed errands that felt more like fun adventures as time was NOT the goal of this outing. And I watched my bus pass the store as I talked to the cashier, to talk, and not to hurry them up so I can run and flag down the bus to return home to accomplish……what….nothing. I am at rest even when commuting through an active city’s streets. And THAT is #TheMighty reward I have gained since being introduced to #Selfcare on this site.

#ThankYou !

Once again, I thank you for offering this platform. Thanks for letting us share and process the things that are often hidden away internally. This site helps me release and process the challenging emotional glitches that go unheard and unshared during times of “fellowship” in church settings. But I hope the day will come when church “fellowship” gatherings will include times when small groups of people can come together to share and process and pray for each other as we explore and examine how the week’s sermon applies to our lives.
