Wow! It has been a full year since I've posted!  I kept telling myself that when I got back on my fine line that I would blog again!  I guess I'm feeling like I'm getting back up on that line! Everytime I've tried this past year, I've fallen again.

Remission from RSD!

I never really got into this blogging because I kept falling off my tightrope!  Then, I got back on it and felt the Lord whisper deep inside me that he was going to be healing me!   Through a bible study I'd been doing and the companion video, I just really felt that was his word to me.   The next time I was in church, my communion with the Lord was so sweet.  I left that service proclaiming that I was in remission and as far as I can tell, I AM!

Since that time, I've been working on getting off the opiate I'd been on for over five years and before that it was a series of others.  The withdrawal period is awful for a few days and then very annoying for, well, two weeks so far.  I've read you can have symptoms called POWS (post opiate withdrawal syndrome) for months depending on amount taken and length of time taking them.  Well, I've been on opiates for at least 16 yrs maybe 17! 

I've had the RSD for 18 years. I have my ideas why the Lord allowed this in my life when he did and I also know that he has a reason for allowing me to be healed right now.    It could all be that it took me 16 years to finally come back to true fellowship with him and I've been on a coming home journey for the last 2 or 3 years!   It will always be a journey and I've got some work to do in the near future to get my body in shape and ready for whatever the Lord has in store for us!
