I was feeling a need to take a short break from blogging and then I got sick for almost 3 days... so I'm trying to recover from that and take care of things on the home front. I'll be taking the rest of the week off from writing. Thank you to everyone who has been … Continue reading Taking a brief break
Day 12: Wrestling with Myself, Part 2
Continuing yesterday's post, Day 11: Wrestling with Myself, Part 1 I emailed a few of my blogs posts to my doctor and he started reading some other posts on my blog. When we met, he brought up a post I wrote about demons. In this post, I detailed a dream I'd had years before during my health … Continue reading Day 12: Wrestling with Myself, Part 2
Day 11: Wrestling with Myself, Part 1
About a week after I found out I was pregnant, I started going downhill. Yes, the nausea kicked in, which is always no fun, but something else was going on. I was suddenly depressed, seemingly out of the blue. Things in my life that I thought I'd made peace with suddenly sprang up in my … Continue reading Day 11: Wrestling with Myself, Part 1
Day 10: Communion, Part 2
Continuing yesterday's post, Day 9: Communion, Part 1. After my bizarre shaking episode at the wedding, it happened two more times in the following two weeks. Each time was less severe and I made sure to lay down as soon as I felt it coming over me. I was worried I had some sort of … Continue reading Day 10: Communion, Part 2
Day 9: Communion, Part 1
2014 was a rough year for me. Although the birth of our second child was healing in so many ways, becoming a mother again was dreadfully difficult for me at that time. Our new daughter had an insane appetite for life and required so much attention and supervision. She also nursed constantly and I was … Continue reading Day 9: Communion, Part 1
Day 8: Wrestling with God After the Death of My Child
Six years ago today my first child died at only 18 months old. She was diagnosed with cancer and a month later she was gone. Her sickness, death, and the events which transpired immediately afterwards were incredibly traumatic for my husband and I. Our families were devastated. Our hearts were broken. And we were all … Continue reading Day 8: Wrestling with God After the Death of My Child
Day 7: Be Careful What You Pray For: the Cost of Awakening
Before continuing with my story, I'd like to pause a bit and share a few things. On day 2 or 3 of this blogs series, I started having second thoughts about everything I'm about to write in the coming weeks. Having already started, I knew I couldn't quit. But I still felt a little worried … Continue reading Day 7: Be Careful What You Pray For: the Cost of Awakening
Day 6: Beginnings of Awakening
In the summer of 2011, I had been married for a year and was pregnant with our first child. One day sitting at the computer, I realized something felt off about me, as if I'd lost some very fundamental part of myself. I had been rather numb without even realizing it and could hardly put … Continue reading Day 6: Beginnings of Awakening
Day 5: Health Crisis
Warning: pictures of gross rashes in this post. In December of 2009, I came dangerously close to Death's door. A mix of poor health habits, stress, and even a dose of soul loss (aka, broken heart) created a perfect storm in my body. I broke out all over in itchy oozing rashes that eventually became … Continue reading Day 5: Health Crisis
Day 4: Discovering the Hebrew Roots of Christianity
I was 19, finally finished with high school, and feeling totally burned out on church - yet again, I had to experience another church split and this one was the absolute worst. It was a complete shit storm all the way around and I know many of us still haven't recovered all these years later. … Continue reading Day 4: Discovering the Hebrew Roots of Christianity
