My Fascinating Life without Cushing's Disease




I guess I no longer have Cushing's Disease- praise the Lord! I still have a fascinating life!
I can't believe its been over a month since I last blogged! Sorry about that! I've been pretty busy lately taking care of 2 kids during summer break! I've also been uninspired to write! I've been a little down- Due to the cushing steroid withdrawal- I know It's not my fault but I guess I've let it get to me- I've been feeling better lately-exercise helps! I've been trying to work out 3 times a week! I saw the Doctor at the Cleveland Clinic on Wednesday I've lost 10lbs. since the surgery in March! Yay! I might be able to go off steroid medication if my pituitary function is back to normal- I'll know next week when my blood test results are in! My doctor says there is less than a 5 percent chance of the Cushing's to come back! I guess anything is possible- but I'll leave that to the Lord! I've just recently read a book by Max Lucado that has greatly encouraged me! It's called Traveling Light- Releasing the Burdens you were never intended to Bear- The Promise of Psalm 23. He breaks down Psalm 23! Everyone knows Psalm 23- but I've never really thought about it all that much! He basically tells us that we need to lay all of our burdens and luggage down at God's feet so we can travel light through our journey of life! Satan tries to pack on the suitcases of doubt and fear. We need to lean on Christ like He is the Shepherd and we are His sheep! If we can't get rid of this luggage than we can to nothing for Christ- and as a Christian I want to do everything for Him! This book has definitely touched a nerve recently in my life. "He restores my soul" Psalm 23:3 I've needed this- He knows what I am going through and He is there- I can Always come back to Him!
