Update from Me

It's been a while since I just sat down and wrote a personal post.  I've posted a lot of quotes and devotionals, but nothing much to connect you to who I am.

For those who are new readers here, let me introduce myself.  I am a wife, mom and home school teacher.  I have a girl who graduated last year and is just getting started at Costco, and I have a boy who is finishing up his second year of high school this year.  My husband works for the state and deals with some health issues.

Over the years I have struggled with many health issues as well.  I had a whiplash that caused me much pain for nearly ten years.  I had a fracture and several rib dislocations due to osteoporosis and undiagnosed problems respectively.

What finally brought it all to a head and helped me figure out what was the root of a lot of my health issues was when I figured out I was gluten intolerant.  I may have celiac, but was never formerly diagnosed.  Since being on the gluten free diet since 2006, I am no longer underweight, I no longer suffer from mouth sores, intestinal cramping is no longer a daily activity, and I have not had any stress fractures.

Tendinitis and constant neck pain are no longer an issue for me.  I have been taking Curcumin 95 for almost four years now and was able to go bowling for the first time in years last week.  Yes, I was sore afterwards, but it wasn't abnormal soreness and it went away within two days.  This was remarkable.  I've been able to go out and do yard work without stirring up tendinitis and getting abnormally sore.


This isn't to say that I don't have bad days from time to time or that I don't have any problems.  But now it is not a way of life for me anymore.

I am thankful to God for this remarkable healing that he has brought about for me.  He gave the wisdom for me to figure out what I needed to do and the grace to do it.  He truly is to be praised for this.  I will enjoy the good health He has given for this season and if at some point He chooses to remove it temporarily or permanently, I pray for the grace to say, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him."
