Happy Sunday beauties! . Full disclosure... I’ve been in a season of growth the past few months. It’s been somewhat of a dark season, but I’m slowly coming out of it. People are always talking about growth as this amazing positive thing, but to be honest, sometimes it can be painful and really suck. Whenever I’m feeling this way, things like social media, dreams, and anything extra sit on the back burner until I have been able to work through my struggles. . We always talk about feeling Gods peace that transcends understanding when we are struggling or experiencing hardship, and to be honest the most frustrating thing that I found through this season is that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t feel His peace. My life wasn’t producing the fruit of the Spirit, and for me that typically means I have to ask Him to bring areas of my life where I am being disobedient or not trusting Him, into the light, grieve those things, and repent and surrender so I can move forward and accept forgiveness and find freedom. Maybe you’ve been in a season of darkness too, and I want you to know, even if you can’t feel His peace, God is there with you in those middle seasons. Don’t give up on pursuing Him, because He is constantly pursuing you, even when you can’t seem to feel it. God is faithful, even in the dark. . Today I’m thankful for LIGHT. I’m thankful for the freedom that comes from the other side of painful growth. I’m thankful for grace. And IM SO THANKFUL for a new season. I know God will continue to use me, and you, flaws and all. ✌ #tfwh #thefirewithinher #grace #realtalk #sundayvibes

A little Sunday reminder that we’re all badasses fighting an invisible battle.

#EndoPose | “Infertility” ・・・ Photo and words via @infertilityrollercoaster ・・・ We’re social media official. I didn’t realize how emotional it was going to be. Before I even posted the photo I started crying. Then I posted the photo and cried again. I am so grateful everyday for this life inside of me! • I still kind of can’t believe that I’m pregnant. I don’t know if I’ll believe it until I have a healthy baby girl in my arms. My belly tells me I’m pregnant. Our doctor’s appointments tell me I’m pregnant but it’s still surreal. • I know that all mothers love their children, but I imagine that women who have gone through loss and infertility have a different level of gratitude for their babies. I know I will.

: We commend everyone who is able to put on a fake smile and get through the day when you are suffering on the inside. You are not alone and we are sending love to all those who need it today. ❤️ Follow @how.u.feeling for more!

I used to be so self conscious and embarrassed to use any type of mobility aid. I’m generally a pretty confident person, but for some reason when it came to physically “seeing” my illness it made me second guess myself. • I don’t “look” disabled, so why am I using a wheelchair? I’m not sick enough and definitely not disabled enough to ask for help. I can blend in, I can look normal. People with my illness don’t need mobility aids. There are other people that need that handicapped spot more than I do. These are just some of the thoughts I’ve had (sometimes more than I’d care to admit) • I felt awkward using a wheelchair in front of people I knew because they know I can walk so if I chose not to they would think I’m just being lazy. So instead, I would stay home from events or have to leave almost right after arriving somewhere just because the pain and fatigue from walking was too much. I missed out on things just so I could “look” normal and not be asked questions. That was my mindset for a lot of years, and sometimes I still struggle with these feelings. • Maybe I was hoping that I’d get better, or that short outings would one day not take a toll on my body, maybe that’s why I never asked my dr about a wheelchair. But after a hard but honest talk (one of the many my dr and I have frequently) about the current state of my health, I came to the conclusion that missing out on life because you don’t feel like you fit the part of disabled person is not living at all. My dr agreed and said there’s nothing wrong with needing a little help sometimes. • After using a wheelchair on vacation, I came home feeling more confident and comfortable about the whole situation. It helped me be a part of the world even when I didn’t feel well. It inevitably made me think of all the years of pain and fatigue I could have saved by using one too. But I had to stop beating myself up over it, because I’m here now. I’m finally helping myself in this way and not feeling guilty about it. (Continue in the comments⬇️)

Oh...and a cure would be nice too...

I genuinely love people and I also have significant social anxiety. Both are true. I adore my people, they are beautiful to me and I’m grateful for experiences with them even if it stretches me. I was able to savor the bliss of the moment and take in the beauty of my child playing with the worms and ducks. It was a good day. Happy Sunday. .

We don't talk about this enough. Yes, I believe that herbs are the key to long-lasting healing. But if you need a sleeping pill to get to sleep (and heal) tonight, then do it. If you need them to function? Do so. The point is to get to the place of your healing journey when you don't need pharmaceutical help anymore. If you still need them to function, by all means, take them. Don't let guilt or someone else's expectations get in the way of your healing journey. • Reposted from @buddyproject - thank you! • #natural #health #wellness #progress #chronicpain #relief #spoonie #spoonielife #invisibleillness #lyme #lymedisease #fibromyalgia #chronicillness #invisibleillness #anxiety #stress #sleep #pharma #pills #medication #herbs
