If you have taken the time to read this I hope you find it interesting, entertaining, and hopefully encouraging. I think it is a wonderful idea to blog about your life for others to know and for me to have the opportunity to look back and see how faithful the Lord has been in my life. My life these days has taken an unexpected turn due to the diagnoses of Lyme disease. I am probably the last person you want to explain it so this website does much better: http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Lyme_disease. I sometimes just have to laugh at the side effects, for example, today I could not remember my student ID number so I guessed and the financial aid guy said, "That is a number for a male student, do you have any ID on you?" I felt really smart.
The Lord has taught me a lot through this journey already. I had "my plans" for my life, which were along the lines of being an RN at 21 and participating in over sea missions. I am 19 living in South Carolina looking at 3-4 more years of school and no where near getting another stamp on my passport. On the same note I am living in a city where there is such a wonderful Christian community filled with brothers and sisters in Christ, a job that I enjoy, and learning that I can't do it all and to trust in Him. What better life could I ask for?
I know that the Lord is working in my life. It is amazing how sometimes (a lot of times) as a human I am so prideful and am convinced that I don't always "need God" but He is just an accessory that makes life a little bit easier and better. It is amazing what it takes for me to realize the He is my everything, without the Lord I have no life.
I am so thankful for how good the Lord is. My prayer has been that the Lord will help me realize the reality of what is going on but also that He will guide me through it. Any time I research Lyme stuff I have a personal rule that I must be listening to worship music to keep me in right mindset of medical facts vs. biblical truths.
He is truly Lifting My Burdens
