I am a mom to 2 great kids. I am a child of God who is pursuing after Him as I learn to live in my "new normal". Diagnosed with a life altering illness in June of 2007 and the end of my marriage less than a year later, life has taken a new path. One that I am learning to accept and appreciate. As my illness caused me to be basically home bound, my family named the living room couch "my perch". Thus the title of this blog.
In June 2007 I had a "dizzy spell" that came over me without warning. After months of doctors appointments and testing I was diagnosed with a vestibular disorder. Our vestibular systems tell us where we are in space. Without it you will experience chronic vertigo and imbalance. Technically I have MAV (migraine asssociated vertigo) The migraine activity in my brain affects my vestibular system and has left me constantly dizzy although without typical migraine pain. God blessed me with the top doctor in the country for this disorder. It has affected every aspect of my life - no driving, no shopping, basically home-bound. BUT God can still use me! Trusting and believing that healing is coming. UPDATE: I am slowly regaining the ability to do some things!! Loving doing the ordinary.
This is really just for me....Lord Jesus, please help me to believe, REALLY BELIEVE how much you love me. And if there is someone else out there who needs to fully understand your love....
I've told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I've conquered the world."
The scripture above is one of my favorites! God will send you someone who will love you for you! He will, and when you least expect it! That's what He did in my life. (of course sometimes my husband is rather mystified my me! :) )
I love, love, LOVE this song! I can't tell you how many times I've listened to it. I think that if we could truly understand how much God loves us, our lives would be completely changed. Blessings to you my friend!
May grace show up today,God shows up in your testimony when you feel unqualified to handle your trials irrespective of your spiritual strength..."God's display of strength". believe Him ... thats how you know He loves you forever....praying
WOW! love this song.................Jesus loves you for who you are...He is the first one to love us "this much" recognizing your prayer for wisdom you have brokeness going on... inside of your heart? offering lots of tight hugs-plus hope.Put on Gods armor for protection each minute...satan wants to win this and he is not going to win.
As I read your words and heard the beautiful song, I am reminded that the cross he died on last Friday would still have happened if Sheryl had been the only person in the world, or Sonja, or any one of us. That's so much love. May He make that love real and alive in your heart today and every day.
Oh sweet girl, I'm so sorry for such deep heart wounds. It's been a rugged stretch for you, but I believe with all my heart there's a bright, sunny day to come.
Regardless of how you feel, you are one strong, tenacious, powerful lady.

Jesus " loves you for you" and I do too.

Just hang on, His timing is SO not ours!
Love you!
