ABUNDANT HEALTH
ABUNDANT HEALTH often comes from a place where the extreme opposite is true.
As in many areas of our lives, we grow and transform after a place of struggle and/or pain has impacted us so intensely that we seek change. Have you experienced this in any area of your health or otherwise?
Life is a journey and our paths are all unique.
I didn’t change overnight in regards to my overall health but it was simply taking the next step. Little by little.
I suffered for 12 years with arms that would ITCH uncontrollably. I saw doctor after doctor who unsuccessfully diagnosed me. Time after time I was hopeful to only have those hopes dashed. The meds, creams, lotions and other supposed healing agents made no change and only exacerbated my pain in countless instances.
I often found myself at the ER getting hydrocortisone shots to stop the itching sensation. I scratched so often during an outbreak that I created bruising and marks up and down my arms.
It was the beginning of me learning to be my own advocate for my wellness. I was fed up with not finding answers and feeling this misery. I took matters into my own hands and through much prayer, research and discovery, I found healing. I learned what my body needed and what to avoid. I listened and used this new knowledge to transform myself both inwardly and outwardly.
The additional blessing here was that I began applying this discovery in other areas of my life and health, as well. I couldn’t help but dig and dig until I discovered answers.
This curiosity and deep yearning that causes us to seek, question and discover can create such beautiful, life changing transformation.
The journey wasn’t easy as it rarely is but it was empowering. We have more capabilities and powers God placed within us than we often care to acknowledge or put into practice.
Is there an area in your life where you have sought answers to no avail? Where you’ve cried tears hoping and praying someone, anyone, would shed light on your burden and/or ailment?
Friend, God knows your need.
You can bring those burdens, and unknowns and lay them at His feet. He promises to never leave you or forsake you and He is ALWAYS FAITHFUL.
He also says in Psalms 37:23-24:
“The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”
God’s Word can comfort our soul because we know deep in our depths that His Word does not return void. Never. And sometimes He uses you to help find those answers because He’s growing, refining and preparing YOU.
God created us to be curious beings. Allow that curiosity to spark a fire in you. Become the advocate you desire for yourself. Keep digging and praying until you find answers. He will direct your paths.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in ALL YOUR WAYS SUBMIT to him, and he will make your paths STRAIGHT.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
Sending you all much love and light on your journey of living a radiant and vibrant life!
