The Big Decision~



 Hello beautiful IC Family, this will be a quick and brief entry. In a way personal update, well more so about my husband and a big decision we are making. After 2 years of struggling to decide if he would go through with it, he has decided to have gastric sleeve, which is form of weight loss surgery. This is something we have spent extensive time researching and praying about this. He calls the doctor first thing Monday morning to make the official appointment for his consultation, and then we go from there.
  This is a huge life-changing journey he embarking on, were exited, and a little nervous too. I wanted to share this in my IC blog, because not only I wanted the support and prayers for my husband, but also how it will affect me.  How his eating habits could affect my IC, not in a bad way, but finding out what maybe he might have to eat, that I will not be able to eat, or something I start eating, might help improve my ic.
 This is a new chapter, which we are embracing. My prayer is that as our food choice become healthier, some of my symptoms become less prevalent. We are already eating smaller portions and eating healthier, doctors already told us, and from the utube video so we have been watching of others who have gone before him and shared their experiences have said start eating, some of the foods now that will be a staple in your diet.
  I want don around for as long as possible. We have hopes and dreams, as a couple and I want to see them come to fruition. I want him around for his godchildren mia and hunter. We want to  adopt down the road. I know this also will help him feel better about himself. But foremost HE will be Healthy, we know the changes that will take place aren’t a cure, but a tool to help him achieve his goals!
  I ask that you all lift don up in your prayers,  as he starts seeing all these doctors.Pray for me , so I can be the supportive wife that I need to be. Our prayer is also that many of his health issues will be alleviated once he has this surgery, and he continues to eat healthy and exercise easier.

Poem~ "Not Another Day"

                       Good evening readers,I know its been awhile since I wrote in my blog and I apologize for that. This entry won’t be a regular entry I feel led to share with you another one of my poems to encourage your weary souls. I know that a lot of my IC and fibro and many suffering from chronic pain are dealing with a lot, their health is failing, and they feel overwhelmed, pressed down from so many different angles.       Today my pain is so severe, I was late getting my period, and we know how that flares our IC, but I forced myself to go outside and just sit in the sun for a little bit. It was a time of refreshment and peace. The sky was so blue, as blue as can be, the sun was so warm on my face and the clouds so puffy. I then spent a hour just reading my bible, I felt the Holy spirit drench me with His peace. I put myself aside and ...

I Give Permission

  Put away that smile and brave face. We are not required to stay strong, we all feel weak at times. There is no shame in this. There are more than enough days that I lay in bed and just cry, until I no long have tears to cry with. I cry because of the relentless pain, I cry because I want to be free of this monster that tried to wreck havoc on my body. It does to my body in many ways, but I refuse to let it do that to my soul. This is about giving ourselves room and permission to cry and to let it all out. I need to be honest with myself, I hate this I really do, and WE all do. It’s not fair it feels good to be real and raw and speak it the way it is. I know many of you will be able to relate to this. The day’s I’m bedridden, that’s tough. But I give myself permission to not be on top of it all. It’s ok to cry its ok to breakdown, I give you permission. I’m sure you’ve heard this before; TEARS are a cleansing to the soul and spirit. God gave us tears, it he wanted us to always ...

Poetry~ "Its In Moments Like This I Live For"

Another night of endless pain, hard to remember   the life i had before all this pain began, another night I face, the world sleeps as I lie awake thinking of another time, another place, a place far away from all the pain and the tears, if only I could go back so many years.     As I sit here with tears falling from my eyes I cling to the words I   know my Savior said” never will I leave you, never will I forsake you” its in moments like this I so desire to be wrapped up in the arms of my loving Lord.     Outside I can hear the river flow on by, and the small waterfall at the end. it’s the way I love to   begin and end my days, hearing the sound of God’s creation   the sound reaches into my soul I feel its echo through my body, I sense the peace and the tranquility it brings its in moments like this, amidst the pain that I live for.   Day after day as time ticks away, the hours slip by, they give away to days, days turn into weeks...
