My health struggles

I've spent the last few years struggling through a pretty severe case of Adrenal Fatigue.  At first I assumed it was just a rough pregnancy, and while it got better after I had baby, it was still there, and continued to get progressively worse again until it was more than I could handle over the last 8 months.


I spent several months trying to get a diagnosis. Even after I had researched and diagnosed myself, finding a doctor who was willing to help was near impossible. I finally went to a naturopath who tested me and found my levels were worse than I even thought, and set up a treatment plan.  This was what I had hoped for for months, but even after starting on my treatment plan, I did not have peace. 

Until the last few months I was hesitant to speak up about how sick I was, even to close friends. When I finally did, one friend, whom I trust and admire, recommended the book A More Excellent Way, and told me how she had experienced such conviction and healing after reading it. I bought it right away, but I just stuck it on the shelf. I knew that while my faith never wavered, my heart was not right before the Lord, and I just put off reading it. A few months later I posted that I had finally received a diagnosis, and she brought the book up to me again. I admitted to her I had never picked it up, but after that conversation with her I felt led to start reading it finally.

It took a little while to get into it, but once I did the conviction was overwhelming. I knew all along my heart was not right, but I kept telling myself once my body was healed I would fix those issues. I was trying to get better in my own strength the whole time, and not seeking my Father.

I read through A More Excellent Way, with Bible in hand, tearfully praying and confessing. After a few days I noticed that I was feeling remarkable better. Better than I had in years! Weeks later I still am!  I knew that my Lord heals, and had seen it first hand before, but I am still in awe that even with all my failures and faults He still loved me enough to heal ME.

I know the book can be controversial, and I wont say I agree with everything the author has to say, but I do know that THE LORD used this book to restore my relationship with Him, and help me break free of the fear, bitterness and unforgiveness that was holding me captive, and through that He restore my health as well.
