The Best Is Yet To Come!
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!
Kathy, your test will be a testimony for others. I have often told you that God places people in your life for a reason and others for a season. I am confident that he will walk with you and talk with you and tell you that your are his own. Kathy never feel discouraged but always encouraged. He will be there to walk with you when you cant walk, talk with you when you feel you don’t have the words to say, carry you when you felt you have fallen and stand when you just need to stand.My God is an awesome God with wonders to perform. You know there is a brighter day ahead for in his word he said there is a brighter day ahead.
Much Love TRW
@Traci R. White – Thank you! You preached that thang!
Kathy,
It seems like it has been so long since I have last spoken to you. I am so sorry for all of the things that you are going through. It is a tough road but somehow with our great savior we all manage to get through it. I pray for you and your family and that you are alright. Just keep up that bubbly attitude and personality that you have and live life to its fullest. You truly deserve it. Take care, dont hesitate to call or email if you ever need anything, you are still my ride or die chick…lol
Luv ya chick,Toodles

well Kathy, here’s a great big hug for you !!! there is someone else besides me who’s afraid so afraid about my health. I stand in agreement with you !! just tired of ppl telling me to be strong, that’s just the trick of the devil….yea, might be, but, i’m scared. Don’t you know i’ve been quoting the scripture back and forth, “God has NOT given me the spirit of fear” over and over…Thanks Kat, maybe now i can genuinely release this and stand and face my fears. I want God to bring us thru. I get tired of being strong but i can be if i know i’m not alone. Wow, i praise God for you ! I’m at a loss for words now…God Bless and keep !!!
@Tanya Bullock – Luv you too!
Kathy,
I am truly glad to hear about all the support you’ve received during this time. I’m sorry I couldn’t have been there more for you and been closer to you. But I know that my prayers aren’t hindered because of the distance between us. Neither is my love and my family’s love for you. That will never fail.
However, of all the words I could ever say to you, they don’t have the power to change your life like the word of God. So I declare unto you the word of the Lord that says it’s His will that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. Be assured that by His stripes you are healed! Your victory is already won through Jesus Christ, because you are more than a conqueror through him. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, because at the name of Jesus it all has to bow. And as you progress to your health, know that He’s always with you, never forsaking you, because He loves you so much more than any of us have the capability to. You’re His, fearfully and wonderfully made, in his image. Rest in His word. Cling to it. Have faith in it. Declare it every day over your life and I guarantee, it will come to pass! His word will not return to us void. It will do what it is sent to do. So send it out and watch God do exceeding and abundantly above all that you can ask or think. I’m excited about the testimony that’s coming from this. Time to start writing a new book!
@Monique Davis – @Monique Davis – you are right! I have already begun penning this whole experience! God is already working things out!
@Leah Lee – Leah. I can’t tell you how many times I have thought about you during this time! I remember your sickness and your journey back! I know God is able! We’ll talk. I am headed to Indy…soon!
Thank you. What your little brother does for you is easy because it is out of love.
@Tom Sawyer – and I appreciate it!
What an encouraging post! I love it! And you will make it through this! Maybe its just a test of faith…(which you are passing with flying colors!) And maybe God has something WAY BETTER in store for you in many aspects of your life. You are a great woman and I know we can get through this! MUAH!
@kourtney – Thank you my sweet daughter!
Wow! Sup, you need a love offering for that message, love how you are transparent Leah and both you and Kathy are REAL. yes, we are saved, know, and believe what we’ve been taught but when we are hit with something that we don’t know what to do about it’s OK to be real and honest with the Lord although we KNOW He’ll bring us out….it’s the waiting that we have to go thru that gets us a bit afraid!!!
I concur with Tom, my love for you makes me do all I do and will do in the future. It’s great to have had wonderful examples in our Grandmothers and Mother of the greatest nurturers and Women of God!!! Koko, what a sweet comment!
Just wanna say that while the Word encourages me, so does music. I wanna sing with you soon…..”Soul looks back and wonders how I got over” hope Boo sings with us too : )

This is the correct weblog for anyone who needs to search out out about this topic. You understand a lot its almost arduous to argue with you (not that I really would want…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, just great!
