Tomorrow will mark week five being on my new biologic, Bimzelx. 2-6 weeks is the time period where most seem to notice improvement. I’m not entirely sure of how the process is working with me.

I’ve noticed an increase in drainage from two areas in particular, but I’m unsure if it’s the workings/process of the medicine or purely draining flares. My prayer is to be patient and allow myself time to see improvement…within reason of course. I’m trusting Jehovah to answer my prayers for great improvement and no impactful side effects.

In the meantime, I’ve been continuing to live and look for as well as create moments for joy. I appreciate Jehovah giving me the will and spirit to not be overtaken by my life challenges.( Prov. 24:10)He also has given me people in my life that make some of these happy moments possible.(Pro.17:17)

Three weekends ago I was able to have some friends over my sister Lori’s home and then spend some extra days with her. There’s a great joy and satisfaction I derived from being with people I care about and seeing them enjoy themselves. (Acts 20:35) Last weekend I was able to attend my meeting with some friends followed by lunch. That was very refreshing. It does a lot for my spirit to be with those that are doing their best to stick to the formula… persevering in service to Jehovah despite life’s trials. It’s a nudge to my soul to keep going!

Yesterday I hosted my field service group for a meal at my sister Lydia’s home, and that made for a nice day.

I in no way doubt that Jehovah takes note that I’m striving to conquer and not be conquered. I greatly appreciate his hand in keeping me where I need to be, with those I need to be with and doing what I need to do. 🙏🏾
