migraines

If you've known me for more than a week or so, you'd know that I get chronic migraines since I was a young child. I have pretty much every trigger imaginable (stress, not enough sleep, too much sleep, certain perfumes/smells, certain foods, volatile weather, abnormal schedule, and the list goes on...). Well, I'd have to say one of the greatest factors is stress, the one I first listed. Through God, I have learned to let go of the stress in my life. Obviously it's nearly impossible for anyone to be entirely stress-free, but I can definitely improve the amount of stress I allow in my life. God has freed my mind and heart from so much worry...(finances, having enough time to get things done, being a good enough wife/sister/daughter/aunt/friend, etc).

God cares about us so much...The Gospel according to Matthew is such a testament. Check out Matt 6:25-34 and 11:28-30. Also, Jeremiah 29:11-14. This is what brings me through. I am so precious to Him and it's such a waste of my time to be preoccupied with things that I know will be just fine and will work out in a way that is ultimately in my best interest.



My migraine frequency has gone down TREMENDOUSLY in the past year. I still get some pretty fierce ones every now and then, but those are usually due to other conditions that are out of my control--in particular the crazy MI weather!

It's just so cool how God is healing my mind and my soul, which is literally healing my physical body as well. He is great! Praise.
