People of the World!!!
This is so important!!!
One of my friends is also struggling against a brain difference and what to do about medication, starting and stopping medication, and what to do about side effects. It's a roller coaster.
I think what she's really struggling with is her worth in God's sight if she chooses medication over natural healing modalities.
This is what I wrote her:
I hope what I share will benefit you. What I'm sharing is very personal and sacred to me.
Through prayer, meditation and personal revelation I've learned that it's possible for me
to have BP and be perfect/whole/complete.
And it's part of God's plan for me to be medicated.
Does it hurt my heart? Of course!
As a healer, I have complete faith in Jesus's power to heal me
and in my own body to heal itself.
I have faith in energy work and essential oils and most things natural.
What I was lacking and sometimes still am, is having the faith NOT to be healed.
That was God's answer for me.
Not to be healed.
For now or for this life?
I don't know.
I know I will come forward in the Resurrection whole and perfect and I cling to that hope.
This may be something you don't want to hear...
Maybe God's plan for you is to help you develop the faith not to be healed.
Love, Lisa
As a reminder to me and all of us who suffer from physical differences and wrestle with the choices we need to make to stay healthy and alive:
In God's sight, we are whole.
