Thank you SO much for this message!! I've been dealing with chronic illness for almost 9 years and this last year, well, the last 2 weeks even more, have been so so incredibly hard! I was hospitalized w/ stroke symptoms, lost my speech, increased weakness, and have a blood clot in my neck. Thankfully my "words" have come back, but I have severe stutter and slurring. My friends can't understand me. My puppy can't understand me. My mom understands my speech the best...so I've suddenly become very dependent on her, both "forcefully" and rather willingly! And let me tell you, I'm an independent soul...too independent as she told me the other day! But that's just how my Mama raised me to be!! So it's all very ironic. Anyway, now they (the hospital psych) is saying that this is ALL conversion disorder. Lyme Disease, multiple coifections, gastritis, gastroparesis, Endometriosis, Interstitial cystitis, POTS, SOD, Intercranial Hypertension- or Pseudotumor Cerebri (with accompanying optic hemorrhaging and swelling of optic discs and nerves). Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, hypothyroidism, balance/gait/weakness issues, and soooo much more! Tons of pain, migraines, brain fog, memory loss, nausea and vomitting. I can relate with you on sooo many levels!! And I needed this. Thank you!! XOXO
Aww sweetie you look beautiful! Satan will try every way to put negative thoughts in our mind. I heard a Pastor say if you confess it you will possess it. We must be very careful on what we say and think. I'm glad you you took it to God. You are absoutely right that God isn't happy when we criticize ourselve or anyone else for that matter. God Bless you!
I like to remind myself that God made all the beautiful things in the world; flowers, birds, sunshine, etc. and also made me. I'm finding it difficult to word what I'm trying to say atm (brain fog), but remembering that is comforting. I hope you're having a good day, Kelly, thank you for this video
Bless you. You are such a nice person. I have gained weight from Antidepressant, but I know that I will loose the weight as I completely come off the meds. For me it is not just about the weight, it is about regaining my self, and closing the chapter on Antidepressants. These drugs have not done anything for my anxiety, except for making me feel worse about my self.
Love your message. I have been SO hard on myself in the last 5 years, mostly while I was in Prednisone, about my weight and how my whole body changed even though I couldn't do anything about it. I have lost the weight but the scars and stretch marks will always be there. I could hear so many "normal" women tell my to love myself, but I don't quite feel that they truly understand what we as women with chronic illness really go through. It means a lot to have someone who is going through the same issues to encourage me. I want to please God even in my thoughts about myself! On most weekends, I try to do my makeup and go out to dinner or do something fun with my husband. I feel a lot better getting out of the house even if it's just for a trip to the store.
I'm so happy that you enjoyed this video! :) It is really tough dealing with the physical changes that happen with chronic illness, and it's difficult for most people to truly understand it unless it's happening to them. It's out of our control and that's what can be so upsetting about it. Just remember in the times when you're quick to be so hard on yourself that your body is fighting, and whatever that we may think are "flaws" are really evidence of our battles that we have fought and won with God. It's easy to think so negatively about something that we don't like, but God doesn't see any of that. He sees us as beautiful, loved, brave, and courageous. He sees us as a masterpiece, a work in progress. He just loves us the way we are! :)
So true. This week I have really tried to change what I say about my body. I don't want to say negative things about myself because God has done so many good things in my life and I have a husband who has supported me through all of it, and it's okay that my body is not the same as it was 10 years ago. I want to focus on the good things that have happened and not things that I can't control.
Thank you for the encouragement Kelly. One of things I do to pull myself out of the trenches is similar to what you described doing for this video. I've subscribe to one of those $10 monthly makeup /hair products glam bags that send you a cute makeup bag full of products to try each month. I save the joy of opening them for my bad days, and try to just have fun trying out new things.
That is such a great idea for a "pick-me-up!" Love that! :) I hope today is a good day for you. Never forget you are beautiful, strong, and cared for! *hugs
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I needed this. Btw, a while back, I ordered a joy jar from you, and it had helped me a lot! In the past few months, I haven't used it as much, so I gave it to a friend who has recently been through A LOT. She's been reading a message daily, and she told me that it's been helping her. Thank you for making those joy jars. I'm sure they helped many many people. I know how much it has helped me in the past.
This truly makes me so happy! I'm so glad that the Joy Jar could help you and your friend when you needed it most! I'm still making them, and I just always hope that whoever orders them is helped from the encouraging notes inside. :) Thank you for watching and for being so supportive! It always means a lot! *hugs!! :)
Thank you so much for putting yourself out there! As someone who has a chronic illness and often feels kinda gross about my body and how it doesn't work as well as it should, I really appreciate the message of your video ❤
