As I learn, I attempt to share so that I might help others...
I received a phone call from a friend and she asked if I could come and see her. I did so, and received the news that she was facing several major life situations, none of which the outcome was for the good. But, you see, she is a Believer in Christ Jesus. She knows her identity in Christ and she is confident of her outcome. When we know who we are in Jesus Christ we can be confident that He has our back. He is not going to let one thing happen to us that He does not know will happen and He knows as long as we trust and believe in Him, we will have the victory. We might pass to the other side, but that means we have still won! I believe I will see her healed. I am choosing to join in with her belief in Jesus that He is going to heal her and that her story will bring honor and glory to the Lord.
For my part of the story, as the Bible says, "My people perish for a lack of knowledge..." paraphrased...go look it up... :) Part of my healing journey has been to change my diet, stay away from certain foods, and now, stay away from certain chemicals. I just wanted to share that I have found another part of the puzzle.
You see, my friend's story fits in as I was called up to come visit her. I went and the next day I was asked to take her somewhere which I had not been in a while, the hospital. As we entered the building, I could feel my face go numb and tingling...Within 15 minutes of being in the building, my throat was burning. Within one-half hour, my nose was completely stopped up. I developed lung congestion and a cough by that evening. By the next day, I sounded like I had the worst case of some respiratory illness, but oddly enough, no fever. My sinus drainage, sorry for the grossness of context, was showing all signs of an infection: bloody, not clear, purulent mucous drainage, etc, etc...Oddly enough, my friend's nose stopped up too....hmmmm putting together pieces of the puzzle.
Next, it took four to five days for me to clear this '___________' ( I hesitate to call it an illness, or an infection, or _____________fill in whatever medical word..) I did clear and was feeling a lot better only to have another exposure to fresh paint and hot glue being used. Within five minutes, I had a headache. My sinuses upon waking the next morning were full of 'GUNK' and within two to three hours upon being awake, I am starting to feel like myself again.
I share hoping that people will learn that what they do does affect others. That there are some things they might attribute to an illness when in the reality it is not an illness but an exposure to some chemical. You may or may not be aware of what is going on with your body, but hopefully you will WAKE UP! There are reasons you are to wear a mask when you paint. You might even need a mask when using hot glue sticks...You woke up feeling tired and drained this morning, check out what you ate or what you might have been doing or like me, remember - you walked in and there was some overpowering odor in the air. It is having more of an affect than you would like to think.
