I HAD TO STOP SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY

It’s been a little over a year since my whole being really started coming back to life.  Since that dreadful day when I received the tragic news that my health was drastically deteriorating, and hope seemed to be lost.  I refused to accept that faith, and I sort my Heavenly Father for answers and reached into my inner-soul and pulled out strength with a determination that I knew I could make it.  I’m back on my feet now, and am grateful for a full recovery.

I, however, often wondered why?  Why was I plagued with such despair?  Why me?  I’ve prided myself as being a good person, and doing good by others.  Why did this befall me?  I searched my heart looking for answers, and one day the light bulb came on.  I got it now!!  It was all because of me.   I brought this on myself.  I was sleeping with the enemy.  The enemy of WORRY, ANXIETY, STRESS, CONFUSION, ANGER, etc. into my life.  I welcomed all these dysfunctions to take control of me.  I allowed people into my space with major issues, that sucked me literally dry, and zapped all of my strength.   I allowed myself to be a sponge and I became saturated until I was on overload.  When situations would occur that was upsetting or completely “out of control”, I did not put a stop to it, I continued to allow it to happen, month-after-month, year-after-year, and I did NOTHING about it.  People only do to you what you allow.

Finally, after not taking control of these situations, they manifested themselves into health conditions that threatening my emotional and eventually, physical well-being.  It makes sense to me now.  As a result of having this second chance, to “right” the “wrong”, I can now dismiss “unnecessary stress” out of my life.   After coming to this realization, I can maintain a lifestyle more conducive to overall wellness.   When I find myself in an uncomfortable setting, I can immediately dismiss it without consideration.

Oh yes, the elders use to tell me that “life will teach you valuable lessons”.  I understand now!!  As a result of the pain that I’ve suffered, in order to circumvent unnecessary health challenges,  and keep my emotional well being in place, and live an abundant life, I’ve come to realize that “I Had To STOP SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY”!!

GONE TOO SOON

It’s been very hard for me these past few years.  The pain I’ve suffered from losing my best friend, confidant, and inspirational counselor, just to name a few.  I now believe that the severe lost and grief, manifested itself into my own personal health challenge.  Depression, anxiety, irritability, piercing internal pain, severe inflammation throughout my body, nausea…arthritis, liver disorder, all signals that my body was breaking down.

Through it all, I never lost my grip on life.  With strong family ties, and a spiritual belief foundation, I was convinced that “everything works together for the good of those that love God”.  With this said, I saw my destiny.  I often wondered my purpose in life, and I questioned, what difference will I be able to make?  Will I be able to make the type of difference that my best friend, inspirational counselor made?  The answers to my questions, were deposited into my spirit.  With all of my many projects I’ve encountered from Typing Resumes, Working in Corporate America, Booking Travel Vacations, Decorating, etc., however, none fulfilling.  But now, my Purpose has been defined.

I’ve lost loved ones from treatable health conditions.  People that truly love God, but did not take care of the temple He provided.  Overeating and making food choices that deemed detrimental to their overall health.  Had I known, then, what I know now, perhaps a difference could have been made. Huh?

I cannot change the past or bring my loved ones back.  I can now share with others my experience in hopes that my story will make a difference for someone else.

Make better choices as it relates to your eating habits.  Do something healthy each day that will nourish your body.  If you must have fast-foods, substitute a salad, rather that fries sometimes.  Trade your soft drink for water.  Eat an apple, rather than a candy bar.

Had I known then……..what I know now.  The simple choices in life……makes all the difference.   In memory of my best friend, my confidant, my spiritual counselor, which is my big sister.  I love you and I miss you so much.  She is Gone Too Soon, but because of the difference she made for me, in so many areas of my life, I have an understanding of why I was faced with my health challenge.    The experience humbled me even more, and as I worked on my recovery and healing process, it gave me a renewed spiritual awareness, and allowed the new growth in my life, coupled with the willingness to give so much, because so much was given to me.
