Feeling so loved today — grateful for family who think of me “just because.” 💛

My love for music has roots in so many places, but one special branch always leads back to my Aunt Sheila. She was the one who opened my ears and my heart to the magic of music all those years ago. 🎶

Today she gifted me a vinyl from one of my favorite artists — and let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like the crackle of a record and the feeling of new songs spinning through old memories. ✨💿

A post I just read from was the breathe I needed. It was the kind, honest truth. You see, my body and I are in a tug of war. It started with a bladder disease at 10 or 11 and then endo at 16 which resulted in surgery during Covid. Also there was a sprinkle of arthritis and thyroid disease.

But with the help of supportive family, friends, my faith and my youth I seemed to bounce back within a year or two after every major flare up or struggle. I learned to live with the pain and discomfort…it was just a part of me.

But something happened in my late 30s into 40. I started to fight back with avengejce and the harder I fought the more my body resisted. I’ve done the diets and cleanses and hormones…oh yeah..hello Peri! (IYKYK). The workouts, the supplements, the doctors, the research. But this time it didn’t seem to be working…well not good enough anyways.

And some were along the line I started to hide myself, hide my body, and at times hide my heart…bc it’s lonely and it hurts to much to be in a body that doesn’t cooperate or meet my expectations.

I have one person in my life that is in my shoes, around my age that I can talk to, vent to and be angry with. And it sometimes it helps. But I know that your words matter. I guess that’s why this post knock me down(in a good way).

These wise words that I need to hear more. I struggle hard with kindness to my body. It feels like every other day it’s hurting or fatigued or failing me in some hard, ugly way. And I’m not kind. I’m mad. I’m annoyed. I’m frustrated and I’m sad. So very sad.
But I do have a good body, and it works the way it needs to right now. And I need to trust that.

“Now, dear brothers and sisters, regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us. I don’t want you to misunderstand this. You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols.

So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all.

There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us.

👉🏼 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.”

Grateful for this life of mine —
the simple joys, the friendships, the work, and the family.
The past two years haven’t been easy — they’ve been full of hard work and health challenges —
but I’m still here, growing, healing, and deeply thankful.
🥂Cheers to the hard, and cheers to growth… but most of all CHEERS to the plan God is unfolding, “for such a time as this”.

This. I trust God implicitly with my romantic future and I only want this. If he’s not from God he’s not for me.

As I am sitting in my comfy chair with my heated blanket and coffee...fatigued and sore, pushing myself to work this morning I was reminded of this. So for those who are living with a chronic illness and need the reminder and those who are loving someone with a chronic illness.

Positive thinking and speaking life-giving words is soo soo important and can help you move through each and every day without giving up. However, being honest about where you are at and how you are feeling is also as important. Don’t sugarcoat it. Sometimes we just feel like p**p on a stick and no amount of worship music or positive words can change that reality and that’s ok too. I learned a phrase a years ago that has helped me so much....

Embrace the Suck, just don’t camp out and live there.

Spoon Theory Explained:
The “spoon theory” is a metaphor, coined by Christine Miserandino, that helps explain the limited energy and resources people with chronic illnesses or disabilities have to expend on daily tasks. It visualizes energy as a limited number of “spoons” available each day, which can be used up by various activities. This helps individuals, and those who are not experiencing chronic illness, understand the challenges of managing energy levels and the need to pace oneself.

I need to vent…I’m struggling and in this moment I very much dislike my body and the diseases that plaque it. I’m so very tired of being tired. I DONT want this to be my story. But it is.

Because God knows me better than I know myself, and He knows the plans he has for me. And I trust in that.

I needed this reminder this morning as I push through pain and exhaustion to live my life and do my work. God is always good and always has a plan. Have FAITH.
