whirlwind
wow! the past few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind for me. i’m glad to be back home. i’m hoping things calm down back to some degree of normal…
I left Greenville on June 20th for vacation in Washington DC and haven’t really stopped since. I got back from DC on the 28th, spent 4 days working, unpacking, cleaning, [...]

is this what normal feels like?
its funny, at times we get so used to the “abnormal” that when things settle down to “normal” again, it seems weird. (who defines normal, anyways?)

i would love your prayer…
its really funny, so much seems to have been going on lately but somehow last month was the least amount i blogged in the last 2 1/2 years. i guess part of the reason for this is because in many ways, there is nothing new to say… life just goes on. and i haven’t been [...]

Though this would not be the way I would have chosen
And the night is often so dark I can’t see.
Even when my heart’s so cold I fear its frozen
This I know, you’re working what is best for me.
Through the valleys and the darkness that we travel
I will follow as you take me by the [...]

finally… some encouraging news!
I’ve decided after 10 months of very little results to try to find another physician. So, yesterday i went to an internal specialist / cardiologist for my migraines. It was by far the most encouraging doctors visit I’ve had in the past year.
Here’s an update on what we discussed…
1. it appears I have a heart murmur. [...]

this would not be the way I’d have chosen
If I had to describe this season of my life it would be with the following phrase “this would not be the way I would have chosen.” God; however, has chosen this path for me. He has chosen 10 months of debilitating migraines, crippling food allergies and countless nights of restless sleep. He has [...]
