THE TERM "FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS" IS FOUND IN THE BIBLE 11 TIMES. WHY AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN OR REFER TO? SOME OF THE VERSES REFER TO THE FLOOD AND OTHERS TO FASTING BEFORE GOD.
I HAVE FASTED FOR A DAY OR SO, BUT NOT FOR THAT LONG. I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD AS I LOVE FOOD, BUT I LOVE GOD MORE. AND I KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT, HE WILL PROVIDE FOR ME, IF I BELIEVE AND WORSHIP AND REPENT FOR MY SINS.
ARE WE ALL SUPPOSED TO FAST FOR FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS? DO WE DO IT GRADUALLY? HOW OFTEN ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FAST? I KNOW WE DO FOR CERTAIN FEASTS DAYS.

(Deu 9:25) Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
(Deu 10:10) And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.

Isa 65:4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
Isa 65:5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

WALK IN WISDOM TOWARD THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT REDEEMING THE TIME. LET YOUR SPEECH BE ALWAY WITH GRACE, SEASONED WITH SALT, THAT YE MEAY KNOW HOW YE OUGHT TO ANSWER EVERY MAN. COLOSSIANS 4;5-6
HERE PAUL IS TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO WALK AND TALK WITH OTHERS WHO AREN'T READING THE BIBLE.
PRAY ABOUT IT AND LET GOD KNOW THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SPREAD HIS WORD AND LOVE.
Colossians 3:16

The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure. MATTHEW 12:35
A condition where the eye’s optic nerve, which provides information to the brain, is damaged with or without raised intraocular pressure. If untreated, this will cause gradual vision loss.

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING NARROW ANGLE GLAUCOMA. i've HAD TO HAVE THE EMERGENCY SURGERY TO PUT HOLES IN MY EYES TWICE IN THE RIGHT EYE. TRABECULECTOMY WHERE THEY PUNCTURE HOLES IN MY EYE TO LOWER THE EYE PRESSURE. SINCE THEN I'VE STARTED TO TAKE VITAMINS FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS.
GLAUCOMA IS GENERALLY HEREDITERY BUT I'M NOT SURE WHO MIGHT HAVE HAD IT IN MY FAMILY. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON MY MOTHERS SIDE AS THERE WAS ALSO ISSUES WITH WEIGHT WITH SOME RELATIVES AS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY WEIGHT IN THE PAST. BUT WITH BEING OVERWEIGHT ALSO ATTRIBUTES TO DIABETES. MY FATHER IS ON THE EDGE OF HAVING DIABETES. BUT KEEPS HIS WEIGHT DOWN.
MY BALANCE ISN'T THAT GOOD ON MY FEET AND I CAN EASILY TRIP AND FALL IF THE GROUND IS UNEVEN OR I DON'T WALK WITH LIFTING MY FEET PROPERLY. I'VE FALLEN SEVERAL TIMES IN YEARS PAST, SOME DUE TO OUR GERMAN SHEPARD PULLING ME DOWN, TRYING TO CHASE A CAT, OR FROM ME BEING UNBALANCED AND TRYING TO MANUEVER TO A CERTAIN POSITION.
WITH HAVING GLAUCOMA, I HAVE TO WATCH MY SALT INTAKE, MY INTAKE OF CERTAIN MEDICATIONS AND SUCH. I CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING WITH STEROIDS IN THEM AS THAT WILL RAISE MY BLOOD PRESSURE AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ATTACK. IT'S MADE ME REALIZE WITH THIS DIAGNOSIS, THAT I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY BODY BETTER AND BE MORE AWARE OF WHAT I'M INGESTING INTO MY BODY. MY HUSBAND IS ALWAYS ON ME ABOUT TAKING BETTER CARE OF MY BODY AND WHAT I EAT. I'VE GOTTEN BETTER AT THIS IN RECENT YEARS, WISH I HAD DONE THIS IN MY 3O'S THOUGH.
ALSO ZOEY HAS GONE BLIND AS MOST PUGS DO BECAUSE OF THEIR PROTRUDING EYES. SO IT MAKES ME EASIER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH AND SEEING HER BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE AROUND THE HOUSE WITH HER BLINDNESS USING HER OTHER SENSES LIKE HER NOSE TO LOCATE HER FOOD BOWL AND WATER, MAKES ME REALIZE THAT MY OTHER SENSES HAVE AND WILL EMERGE AS MY GLAUCOMA PROGRESSES.

IT HAS HELPED ME TO BE GREATFUL FOR THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD AND FOR THE FACT THAT I CAN STILL SEE. I'VE NOTICED THOUGH THAT I'M SLOWLY LOSING MY SIGHT , AS I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE AS WELL IN THE DARK , THINGS THAT I USED TO BE ABLE TO SEE, IT'S MORE DIFFICULT, AND I'VE NOTICED THAT I SEE THINGS THAT AREN'T WHAT THEY SEEM IN THE DARK, LIKE A BUSH THAT I THOUGHT MIGHT BE A CAT OR AN ANIMAL. MY PERPHERIAL VISION IS DIMINSHING AND I'M ALWAYS BUMPING INTO THE EDGE OF WALLS AND OBJECTS.
MAYBE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TO MAKE ME MORE AWARE OF GOD AND WHAT HE'S DONE FOR ME, A WAKE UP CALL FOR ME, FOR PAST TIMES THAT I DIDN'T HEAR HIM AND NOW I DO..
Psa_77:4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
