My Reason

My sweet Elijah has used every wish, every prayer, every day to ask for my complete healing. I knew in 2008 because God told me when I first started getting really sick that things were going to get much worse but He would heal me only when His timing is right and He receives the glory for my healing. For those of you that do not know, I have Idiopathic Gastroparesis caused by a genetic condition known as Autonomic Dysfunction. I am currently on IV nutrition through a central line and on several medications. I had a gastric pacer implanted in 2010 to alleviate some of my symptoms and it worked well for 6 months but my nerves quit responding and I finally had it removed this January. In other words it did get much worse. I start this blog now because I know God will not let my baby's faith die.

Day 460

As most of you know I had a 5 hour iron infusion Thursday. Friday I felt alive for the first time in such a long time. I admit I did way too much and our family had an amazing Easter weekend! Not only did we have all our babies, yes even the 19 year old baby, home; but we got to visit so much of our family and I was lucid and well enough to enjoy it. I am feeling pretty wiped out now but it was worth every second soaking up my family! 
I know how easy it is to get negative when you have dealt with so much for so long and I know I have been very down and negative lately. Thank you so much for your prayers not only that I would feel better but that I would stop being negative and enjoy every moment for what it is. My sweet aunt Ann told me I need to get outside and soak up some vitamin D and I made a joke saying I was so fair skinned that I was afraid I would blind people and her graceful response to that was that my fair skin is a sign of roality. She is right about that because I am royal, child of the King of kings and Lord of lords, a child of the most high God! I don't pretend to understand His plan for our lives or how or when He will heal me but I know He has a plan for a future and a hope and He will heal me in His time. Until then I want nothing more than for our family to be at the center of God's will and to give them everything possible in my condition. Time for me to open my mouth with wisdom and on my tongue to be the law of kindness. Those words are much easier said than done especially when you are very ill but I will do the best I can with every day that I have and appreciate you prayer helping to keep me from going negative. I pray for everyone who reads this, whether you are ill, sad, or whatever you need may be, I pray that God will meet you where your needs are.
