Coming out of the Fog

In 2007 I had a hysterectomy and for the last 4 years I have progressively started to feel worse and worse.  It was all I could do (especially these last 2 years) to get up and pull myself together and go to work.  If it were not for my relationship with God and the fact that my family is around me so much, I think I would of just crawled in bed and stayed there.  That is NOT me though and I had to finally get to the bottom of what was happening to me, to the person I use to be.  My mind was foggy all the time and I felt like I was on edge.  It was like my insides were going to explode.  If I shared this feeling and how sad I was I was told to read my bible more and pray.  Now that is good advice and I do have to admit I wasn't doing it as much as I use to, so I started in again to be more deligent in my quiet time, but no relief and I knew this wasn't from spiritual neglect it was something physical.  FINALLY after sharing with a friend at work (I work in the medical field) she suggested for me to see a doctor that had helped her by doing certain blood test and finding out what she was lacking in her system. 

I saw this doctor 2 weeks ago and after all the blood tests were back I went in to see her and she looks at me and goes "You get the trophy for being the first person I ever ran these test on that her progesterone came back ZERO"  Wow, I had NO Pergesterone in my body.  The doctor said it was like me being stuck in PMS cycle.  I just teared up.  I wasn't crazy, it was a hormone imbalance. 

I have only been on my "Bioidentical Hormones" for 1 week, have noticed a little more energy and feeling a little more calm inside but still have a long way to go, but at least now I feel that I'm on the mend and will eventually feel good again.  I have to, I have to much to do and to many grandbabies to love on to NOT be happy.  Thank you God for friends who are willing to share and for Doctor's who are willing to look deeper than just giving out pills to mask the symptoms.

Dealing

I haven't posted in a long time, pretty much figure I don't have anything that interesting to say.  My daughters and son-in-laws are quite the thinkers and writers and they convey themselves so much better than I do, then I realize that it's my insecurities that keep me from posting or sharing anything for fear of  not saying something right or sharing something that maybe I shouldn't.  I have opened myself up in the past and had women use it against me, when they see my vuluable side they use me and I have been hurt. Before I go on I want to ask you to please pardon my spelling it's not the best, my puntcuation and grammar are awful as well, but I don't want that to keep me from sharing my heart. So all this to say... I have been thinking about my childhood and how to this day it affects who I am.  Now some of us get to have parents who encourage and are supportive.  I didn't get that (please don't get me wrong I love my parents and they did the be

Physical Birth / Spiritual Birth - What Does God's word say?

Physical Birth and Spiritual Birth - What Does God's word say? I want to talk today about birthdays and I’d like to contrast our physical birth with our spiritual birth, first off our physical birth, with each birthday our memories may not be as good as they use to be…I have a story to tell you regarding our memories :)  ·         Three older women discussing the problems that come from getting older. ·         One said, “Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand in front of the refrigerator and cannot remember whether I need to put it away, or start making a sandwich.” ·           ·         The second woman chimed in, “Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs and cannot remember whether I was on my way up or on my way down . ·           ·         ”The third one responded, “Well, I am glad I do not have that problem; knock on wood.” Oh “That must be the door. Let me get that!” (Laughter is GOOD MEDICINE J Poverbs 17:22)

Pondering

Wonder why it is that as we get older we lose sight sometimes of WHO God is and WHO we are in Christ?  I remember when I was home raising our daughters and my husband was at work, I felt like I had purpose, I had a goal, a reason for getting up in the morning and spending time with Christ before the girls were up, exercising, making breakfast but as I have gotten older and the girls are grown and raising their own families I feel adrift a little detached.  I know it is not what God would have or want of His "Older Children" but I fear I have fallen into that "Old Person" trap of feeling not that important.  As I think on this and as I write it is helping me to come to grips with the reality that I AM getting older and I can feel useless or I can BE OF USE.  As I look back on my life as a mom of two very beautiful girls I feel so very blessed, so very blessed that I was able to be at home and to have valuable input into their everyday lives, from praying with them a
