Hello! It’s been a while hasn’t it. I don’t have a real topic today but I just wanted to share with you what has been happening in my life. For me writing is therapeutic. I have gone back and forth about sharing my current status but you are my friends so I share!

The last two months of my life have been trying to say the least! In efforts to not have a woe is me party right here at kleverkathy.com, I won’t bore you with ALL the details, I’ll just say, I honestly don’t know how I have maintained this far! Everyday seems to bring more hurt and pain and worry but… God is so good and He is handling this! He’s got this! It is amazing how we screw things up by leaning and depending on a person/people and invariably, the one/s you think you can count on, lets you down, but my great God never lets us down, does He!

So… my health has been one of the biggest surprises! I have now lost 25 pounds (it’s been hard! Excuse me for patting my own self on the back) and have conformed to a healthier lifestyle of eating and exercising. However, wouldn’t you know, I have been afflicted with attacks that have me and the doctors puzzled. Today I have an x-ray on my Carotid arteries and an ultrasound of my heart and am waiting for the most important appointment, a visit to the neurologist. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared and felt alone and sad, but I’d also be lying if I didn’t say, I know God is able! My sickness is on the cross. He left it there when he died for me! I can’t sing a sad song because I have seen the miracles and wonders He performs and as His child, I’m standing in line for the next one!

I am so grateful to all who have lifted me up in prayer. Here’s your flowers:
Angie, you got the first balling rolling! Thank you girlfriend! I love, love, love my brother Tom for making things happen when I can’t make them happen. He is a mover and shaker! (truth be told, he would make a great leader of a city, state or country! Lord just give me that!) I love you Karolann for being a true nurturer, always there willing to do whatever needs to be done! Kourtney, Kendall and Ali are the joy and strength of my life! Your concern and random “I love you” is what having children are all about. Karen, when I say go, I’m gonna step back and let you lose to do your thing! ROTFL! Daddy and Buzzy thank you for your ongoing prayers.  I know your anointing will get them to Him!  Bishop Fonzer, without your daily personal encouragements, I’d probably be wandering through my days with no real sense of what to do. Thank you. Lillian, thank you for telling me what to do and staying on top of me while I do it! Your concern is appreciated. Kim, you were the first to say, yea… that’s pretty scary! Lol. I smile about that because it is so true, I’m scared! Miss Betty, you have been a true mother-in-law through this. I look forward to your daily calls checking on me. Thank you and I love you! Karlissa, Kelsey, Kandance and Korbyn, thank you my sweet nieces. Wesley, thanks for calling and checking. Cece and AJ thanks for helping me through that first episode. My little Jaime and Amber, thank you for being there for me over and over and taking me home from the hospital both times and to my doctor appointments! Traci, Renee and Staci thank you for your love and concern.  Henry, Bobby and Jesse, thank you.  Master Kaiden Jay there are no words to say how much I love you and love hearing, “get better. I love you”! Grandmother loves it! The best medicine I could have!

Yesterday, today and tomorrow… I have to make some hard decisions. Decisions that I know will hurt me deeply but are necessary. Right now I am marking time but soon, I gotta move on! I ALMOST welcome the hardship and pain that will come along with my decisions just so looking back and knowing that I made it will be that much sweeter! Can you imagine the power of my testimony? And I will tell of His goodness!

Do you all know my favorite song? It is by Rev. Richard White, and it says: You been waiting on a blessing and it seems it just won’t come, doors are shut, things are rough, it seems that you’re all done, but the devil is a liar and a deceiver too, God Is Not Through Blessing You! I am holding on to that! I am encouraged and hopeful and I realize through all of this, God has an awesome assignment waiting for me on the other side! Stay tuned! The Best Is Yet To Come!
