We all experience God in different ways and are called to do different things in His name. Since my original diagnosis in 2007 He has used this to open conversations and to show people how much He loves us. I have walked along side and been a support to family and friends, as well as been supported; I wouldnt've asked for cancer but, I wouldn't change what He is using it for, for anything.This is what God and I are working on now, the aftermath.

Marathon runner.....where do you think this ones going????
Still having problems with typing in here so please bare with me and remember it may not let me go back and change anything so be gracious and overlook such things. Well it's been a while, I was going to say not much has changed but i guess a few things have. I've been a bit blah as Christmas fastly approaches. A compilation of reasons. I've sent no cards so if you don't get one from me please don't feel bad, noone did. I saw a naturopath this past Wednesday with my mentor after much prayer and confirmation and for the first time I thought there may actually may be some relief coming down the road for this horrible itching which has been joined by really bad.....I can't even say it. (see title; figure it out)I've never seen one before in fact i've always been a bit stand off'ish about the entire industry and thought it all as hokey pokey but when your mentor calls and tells you that she is really concerned for your health and can't stand seeing you in so much agony and would you just consider speaking to someone about seeing a naturopath, to just entertain the idea. How can you say no? Well obviously you can say no.....but really??? what have I got to lose? I trust both these people, so from there came a lot of prayer and then I asked a friend what she thought of naturopaths and she flipantly said that she thought they were helpful and said that she saw one. Well as we were leaving my house, she casually asks me the name of the Dr. that people were suggesting I see.....well I thought she was going to fall over! Not only is it the same Dr. she sees but her daughter works for this guy. So my mentor went with me to meet with him and I felt comfortable with him right away, there was no sales pitch, no hokey pokey stuff it was a nice surprise. It's not often i am wrong (joking, or am I?):) but I truly believe I had really mis judged this guy. I can't speak for the whole industry but this Dr. was very comforting and patient. He explained everyting in a way that I could understand and repeated what he could clearly see I just wasn't getting. There are a couple things he'd like me to start doing, slowly. I am thankful that I have family and friends to support me through this next chapter of my life. There's food to be eaten that I cannot even pronounce so that'll be intersting. I have a very incredible woman making soup for me from these odd foods with bone marrow that for just sounds crazy but apparently it's quite normal.Hmmmmmmm who woulda thought???? Oh and of course, part of getting healthy is eating healthy so slowly comes in the good greans and even s-l-o-w-e-r goes out the chocolates & midnight snacking (typing with reluctance) My specialists are all on board so I'm sure it's a go. God's lined everything up and He doesn't do that and turn and walk away. So for today thats what's going on. Christmas is still rough. My first one without my daughter, that's rough although she is making her own new traditions which is a great thing for her and Choco and I recognise that. It is still really hard for the mum though. Ok the typing is going to go funny on me here. I really hope you all have an awesome Christmas with whoever you spend it with and wherever you choose to spend it with, and let us not forget the reason we have a Christmas to celebrate. Thank you all for your prayers and for staying on me for keeping on me about staying ontop of my blog, its a nice feeling when someone asks why you haven't blogged in a while. Thanks Terry. So much to be thankful for at Christmas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1oHJR2g7Tw"></a>

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Melly! From us all ~ Gumps
ReplyDeletePs - a naturopath helped me with my post partum! And eating healthy is probably THE best thing we can do for our bods
So glad to get this update and to hear that there might be help out there. Dennis highly recommends the naturopathic route. Don't get him started talking about natural health remedies unless you have a long time to visit! I'm sure it will help. Much love to you at this emotional time. Remember that Jesus didn't spend time with his spiritual family at Christmas. In fact he left home that night and didn't make it back until after a lot of trials. I hope you'll be with your parents though. Alex looks like she's so happy. Love and blessings.
