Back story pt. 2

Fast forward to recovery time 💨 I have been tested for Lyme, but here in 🇨🇦 or anywhere really the testing for it is super unreliable. Many people go years or even decades before getting an accurate test result especially if it’s gone chronic. I’ve been in what I’ll call recovery for the past three-ish years now. It’s not been a straight path, it’s up and down and crashing backwards and leaping forward. When I first started to feel better I was so ecstatic that I figured I’d just go back to living (my version lol) of full throttle and learned that it doesn’t work that way! Set myself back quite a ways. The healing has encompassed mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. I’ve learned to accept my own limitations, while moving forward and decreasing them, which is not an easy lesson! Healing while parenting is no picnic either. The Lord has been so faithful in sustaining our family it’s just amazing. The times are rough but the good news is that none of it is a waste for those who love Jesus. Going through all of the health issues (and it’s not an end of road thing here) has brought so much good from it. Don’t get me wrong, there have been and still are many, many, moments of anger, bitterness and struggles with unforgiveness. Healing is not linear. I just hope to share some of what I’ve learned, am learning and spark some questions in others. There’s been so much I’ve had to unlearn in the process. There’s hope, and it may not come easy or “conventionally” but have courage and ask the tough questions. Ask the Lord for wisdom to open your eyes to what you’re not even aware needs to change. 💜 💚
