Getting Well – Supplement!
I am a total research geek that has been dabbling in or digging into various health topics for 19 years … no degrees or certifications in the health industry, but a mighty knowledge built on curiosity alone! My curiosity started with attempting to figure our what was wrong with me. I had “unexplainable” medical conditions …

7 Months and Counting
This is the most honest description of our past 7 months. 7 months ago tonight I was overwhelmed with how bad Thad’s injuries were yet incredibly grateful he was still alive. Tonight – after watching him fall asleep, my feelings are a lot the same. I still want to know every detail of what is going …

Getting Well – Rebuilding the Temple
This sounds easy enough and yet I find it one of the hardest things to do consistently! Today at the doctor’s office, I found out that I have 3 months to practice getting really good at it! It was confirmed through biopsies and blood work – that Celiac is a part of how God made …

Unfortunately – Thad seems to be getting it now too 💚 5 months post injury 💚 In our adult life, we have never referred to things in weeks or months until Brain Injury. Not ever having children, I couldn’t understand how …

Be Still
Sometimes God makes things as clear as the writing on the wall and sometimes we have to be still to hear him whisper in our hearts. In a season of “trials”, I truly want to honor God … and to honor him, I need to listen and to listen I need to be still. Being …

Forgive
February 2017 When something traumatic happens in someone’s life, hearts will be revealed and often change is required. There is a process I have to go through because loss occurred. For me, going through the shock, grief, and resignation to get to acceptance doesn’t look like I thought it would. My shock stage was completely …

Chase the Lion
Our first book of 2017 ends like this – so perfect as Thad attempts his first full day of therapy tomorrow! It’s okay to pray a hedge of protection around those you love the – God is our Refuge, our Shield. But he is also our banner — the God who goes before us, the …
