No voice, so no video 😊

Hello all,
I was going to do a video this week, but allergies have attacked and I don't have much of a voice. I'm trying to rest it as much as possible because I'm in Praise Team on Sunday. 🎵

I know I have been lacking in the posts and videos because of not being sure what to share. Lately though God has given me multiple things to share, so there will be multiple new posts coming up in the next weeks. Of course I have to do some research and stuff first, but I'm excited about what content is to come.

A small update about me. If you've read my blogs before you know that I battle headaches constantly. I've had them almost daily since 2005, the most I didn't have them was during pregnancy. Recently, when my blood pressure has gone up, whether due to exercise or laughing the headache has gotten much worse. At one point I was laughing hard about something and had a sharp pain behind my left eye, like a vertical line, and I could feel the pulsing of my blood. It was very painful and very scary. I contacted my doctor and had a CT done, after a long wait and fight with insurance to approve it, I finally got it done on Monday. I went back to my doctor yesterday and my results were already in and everything is fine.
I'm glad that my brain is fine and there's no tumors or bleeds or anything, but at the same time it would be nice to know why I can't get rid of my headaches.
So, when I get a little money saved up I'm going to get my daiths pierced. If you don't know what that is, it's the inner part of the ear. There's supposed to be a pressure point there that relieves headaches. I know many people who have had it done that say that it had helped them tremendously. So, even though I'm going to be a big chicken about it, I'm going to get it done.

I also had my doctor increase my antidepressant. This one is working well, but I feel it could be a bit better. So I'm going to try this higher mg and see how it goes. I'm praying that this will be just right and I won't need to keep adjusting or changing medication.

In June I will be doing some blood work to check to see if I have a blood/clotting disorder because of my frequent nose bleeds. I'm really interested to see what those turn up. My appointment after the lab work will be my last one with doctor before we move.

Also! I added a little thing on here where you can add your email address so you can get notified when I post a new blog. It should be in the upper right-hand side.

If you are feeling off or feel like you could use some help, please don't wait. You deserve it!

I won yesterday.

Yesterday morning I planned to clean the house and get stuff organized because I had people coming over yesterday evening. As soon as I started to get things ready to clean my 2 year old started throwing a fit. Normally I get really irritated and just tell him to knock it off and keep doing what I had planned. But yesterday I didn't. I didn't get mad. I didn't yell. I didn't do what I would normally do. Yesterday I put on one of his favorite movies, sat down, and rocked him. He ended up going to sleep. Then while I was doing dishes he woke up very upset. Again, normally I would be really annoyed, but I sat with him and he calmed down. We sat in the chair together for a while and then he was up and ready to play. But I won yesterday. I won against my anger. I won against the way I usually react. These moments with my children are ones I will never get back. I really need to focus on that instead of the irritants that present themselves. It may be only on

Depression + Guilt

Can I just say.. Again.. Depression SUCKS! There doesn't have to be a reason why I feel like I'm worthless.. I just do. I'm also a Christian. I try to read my Bible. I pray often. I go to church on Sunday. And I really try to be a good Christ follower. But being a Christ follower and battling depression day in and day out is hard. Because I know in my heart that I'm so very valuable because God created me and loves me unconditionally. But my head just doesn't hold on to that all the time. And then I feel guilty because I don't have that joy and happiness the Bible speaks of. I feel guilty because I'm not the person I'd like to be. I'm not the great Christian woman (parent especially) that I long to be. And that guilt can be so very overwhelming. I constantly feel like I'm failing at everything. Recently, during a discussion with someone I brought up something that is in the Bible. The person asked me to stop bringing up the Bible becaus

First Blog!

Good morning all! I'm very excited to begin this new journey of blogging!  God has called me to share my life with others so He may be glorified and people may be helped through their struggles.  We weren't created to go through life alone. And thankfully we aren't alone! Many times in life we feel like we have no where to turn and no one we can count on. (That includes me) But through fellowship and leaning on God's loving arms, we can make it through this life. Together. So, here is a small introduction to me: I am a wife, to a wonderful husband. I am a mother to two awesome little boys and a beautiful step-daughter. I grew up as a preacher's kid along with my 2 sisters and 1 brother. I've had to fight for my relationship with God, and find Him on my own. I am a survivor of abuse (NOT by my husband). I am a mother of multiple children I never got to see or hold (miscarriages). I have fought with depression and anger since I was a kid and continue
