Thoughts and feelings simmering in my heart and mind and finally trickling out into words
Mental Game
Some days it’s a mental game and not so much a physical struggle. I’m trying not to compare my journey or struggle to someone else’s. Even though we both have the same condition (PMOS), it affects our bodies differently. She deals with thyroid issues and I don’t. I have bad acne problems and she doesn’t.…
Wilderness to Promised Land
God brings you into the wilderness but he will always provide. He may not provide a way out of it right away but he will always provide for what you need, even if it’s just daily. That’s what he did for the Israelites in Exodus and he does that for us too. I have walked…
I wish
Some days I wish my body was more normal. I know normal isn’t a thing and we are all different. God made us all unique and special with different abilities and talents. But some days, I wish I understood my body a little more and it was a little more typical to most women. I’m…
Pop up Symptoms
Crying for no reason isn’t me. Granted this isn’t no reason, it’s frustration and hormones. I’m frustrated that this horrible acne is still a problem. I’ve dealt with it for 10 plus years and it’s mostly just gotten worse. It sucks and physically hurts, but more than that, it messes with my self esteem and…
Highs and Lows
Life has ups and downs and highs and lows. There are hard days and there are also fun, good days. I don’t know about you, but for me and some of my friends, it feels like life is full of more challenging moments than fun, easy ones. Maybe this is because the jobs we have…
Overwhelmed by His Goodness
There are few times in my life where I can look back and remember being completely overwhelmed by the Lord’s love. Today is one of those days God is so good! I was sitting in church, listening to the song that the worship team was singing. The lyrics went like this: “You hear your children…
Fight
My body is constantly fighting against me. I’m fine for a few weeks, maybe a month tops, and then something happens again. Whether it’s the same issue I had had a few months before, or something from years ago coming back to the surface. There are very few days and times that I truly feel…
Frustrated
Emotions and feelings are running a little high lately, and not in the good way. Frustrated. Irritated. Annoyed. These have been circling through my mind and body for a few days. Annoyed with symptoms that almost never seem to get better or else they are worse. Frustrated that my body isn’t doing what it should…
The Mask Breaking
Sometimes the mask starts to crack and gives way to all the thoughts and feelings below. Today the mask has broken open and everything is spilling out.. It’s hard to be sick all the time. Literally, I was sick with something about a month ago. I’ve been doing all the right things with adding so…
New
Going into a new school district, a new school, and a new area of teaching with new people can feel hard and overwhelming. I have had those feelings off and on the last few weeks as I am prepping for the school year with different trainings and classroom work. But even though it feels like…
