Life Changes

Today was an interesting day.  I have been pretty speechless because of Encounter Release last night at Without Walls in Lakeland with Pastors Clint Brown and Paula White.  What I have realized about the release we have been experiencing has caused me to re-evaluate some things within my life.  A few years ago at the Judah Conference someone was telling me about the general session, and what I realized at that very moment is that I was making sacrifices that I should not have been making and that God did not want me to make.  I knew then what I needed to do, but I dealt with the situation for a few more months until I finally said BASTA!  Enough was enough.

I have had to say it again.  Enough is enough.  The peace that I have found is now my focus.  I have decided to work towards keeping the peace in my life and to continue to enjoy the things that I have loved and have learned to love.  In high school, I really hated PE and now I am at the point where I enjoy going to work out.  I have realized that a few hours of sweat each day can change your fitness level.  Along with changing your fitness level, I have watched my glucose levels decrease to the point where I no longer need medication to control my diabetes.  That was a wonderful day to hear my doctor say that she is proud of me and I no longer had to deal with daily injections.  Now that things have changed for me, time to get back to the things that I love.

Take time to enjoy the things in life that bring you joy. 

Good night and God Bless

My Keloid Journey

My keloid scars have been a part of my life since I was about five years old. My earring got caught in a boy's sweater and he moved and yanked it right out. As I got older, more scars developed and never knew why or the cause. My childhood with scars was not an easy one because I looked so different than the other kids and they were not very nice to me. Middle school was rough because of PE... OMG, the girls were brutal and that made me very uncomfortable about changing clothes in front of other people. It did not make it easy to help the battle of the fluff. LOL! It was easier to cover them up. I cannot recall the exact time frame, but I recall two doctor's appointments. One was at Lackland AFB and the doctors did not know what my keloids were and wanted to do a biopsy. My dad did not like what he heard and scheduled another appointment with a dermatologist at Fort Sam. The treatment was to inject the scars and that was very painful. My dad could not see me going through t...

My Keloid Surgeries

Since I was about 14 or 15 I have had multiple surgeries to remove my keloids. They have not been easy surgeries and the recovery has been just as painful. In my recent post, I shared that I had to have a local anesthetic which was administered around each scar and when it wore off, the doctor had to stop the surgery just to administer more anesthesia. After the surgery, my chest was open and looked like a bowl of mashed potatoes is what was said. The aftercare was to keep the open wound clean with hydrogen peroxide. I did not manage very well and in my first after surgery appointment, the doc sat me in the chair, put gauze on my chest and just started pouring the hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound. Still to this day, I am unable to handle the sound and smell of peroxide.  My next surgery was on my face and a scar on my right shoulder. It was on the bra line and the health insurance company approved that part of the surgery but the doctor covered any related costs to remove t...

Valentine's Day

For the past few years I have had some anxiety about Valentine's Day. All of the advertising and marketing is meant for couples...well that didn't apply to me and I really didn't even want to hear about it. I wouldn't even go down the aisle with all of the candy, balloons, etc.  Friday night, there was a Sweetheart Banquet at my church and I volunteered to work the event.  I served as check-in and t-shirt/dvd sales. It was great to see all of the couples as they walked in the door to see how they were dressed.  Some couples coordinated their outfits and it was so cute. Every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed man and it was good to see them all dressed up in their suits and ties.  As they were getting their pictures taken, I was thinking to myself, how in the world am I going to survive being surrounded by all of these happy people when inside my heart is longing for someone to share my life with. I know that I am a complete person and don't need a man to complet...
