On a Little More Serious Note

There is something that I wish everyone that I know knew about me. Because I think most people don't really know or fully understand. I live with some ongoing physical problems that really affect my life and the people around me. Now I believe in divine healing and that God has healed me. Instead of an instant healing I believe it a more progressive one. So for now I am still suffering. I'm not really sure how to explain it but I'm going to try. I have a lot of stomach pain so I live on prilosec otc. That really helps keep the pain under control. I also have a lot of cramping and bowel problems. I am unable to digest most fruits and vegetables but this area IS getting better a little at a time. I am tired ALOT. Sometimes I am so tired that it feels like someone attached a vacuum cleaner hose and sucked all the energy out of me. It's like I haven't slept for a couple of days and I've just been swimming for hours. Can you imagine? Around the time of my monthly cycle this symptoms get alot worse and I have other aches and pains too. It is basically the week before and the week of. So the reason I am telling everyone this is not because I want pity. I don't need that! God is healing me. But I need understanding. Because of this ongoing illness or whatever it is, my life is truly different than most. For example, it is very hard for me to make commitments. Because I never know when I am going to feel bad and not be able to fulfill my commitment. So many times I just don't commit to much. Basically I try my best to keep on with my life being the best wife and mother I can be and going thru my daily activities but all the while I am feeling really bad. I use up most of my energy taking care of my family and responsibilities at home and don't have much left over for others. And I wish so much that I did! Because of this issue, I sleep a lot more than most people. I am up a lot at night so I sleep later in the morning. Sometimes I need a nap in the day just so I can get through it. Anyway, what I want from my family and friends is lots of prayer and lots of understanding. It is hard on Danny because he wants a wife that feels good! I can understand that! I WANT to feel good! And he is very understanding and kind but it really wears on him, I know.
So don't feel bad about it. Just pray, I would so appreciate your prayers. God IS healing me. I am doing all I can to co-operate with him and get myself well. I am taking vitamins and trying as best I can to eat right and exercise. Thank God for the bike, right?
Hey, thanks for listening!
