AND she's back in Alabama! Wow that went by a bit too fast. I decided to come home and do school online for awhile to save up some cash and help my parents out, so I'm looking forward to what will happen. My internship is going to be great, I'm super pumped up for it.
Of course being home doesn't come without its struggles (for instance) what do you do when your car's radiator goes out? Luckily my dad has had a lot of experience with people who fix cars and fixes cars himself (woo, Dad saves the day again) so he is going to help me find a new engine. The radiator burnt everything inside. So that is that. But hey on to a better note, I am helping out a lot at home, while recovering and preparing for another surgery as my biopsy went well. Nothing was cancerous, and the mass inside my deidum (not sure how to pronounce it) is shrinking as I heal so I am thankful for that!! This is not the first biopsy I've had! I had a mole biopsy done in 2014 because they were worried about it being melanoma. It is better to be safe than sorry. I'm thankful for Doctors and Nurses.
Of course if you panic and think things in your head, it's easy to lose focus and become overwhelmed. I am healing more and I know my ulcers and having Crohns is difficult but I am taking care of myself better and realizing how much God really does love me.
Okay so anyway, I've been back in Bama and I've had fun exploring the woods outside, along with growing my garden and taking care of animals.
My neighbors have cows, and people around have different crops growing. Country life is cool, I appreciate it. It's crazy to be back after being away from home for so long. It's special here though. I love being with my family and friends.
;) Pics coming soon!

Food for thought
Today I am speaking out about depression, because this is something that literally causes your body physical, mental and emotional pain. It HURTS. Survivors of this horrible illness know hard each day can be. Bipolar Disorder, MDD (Maniac Depressive Disorder) and other illnesses are very real illnesses which cause symptoms that can be debilitating if you don't find the proper help for it. For those of you who are suffering with this, please know you aren't alone. You can FIGHT. :) And you can WIN. You are more than what you feel.
Often certain medications can make people feel undervalued, or experience painful symptoms worse from when they actually received the diagnosis. Though many medications have powerful affects, it's important to know which works best, and is right, for your body. Many natural therapy based aids can help so wonderfully. It does take a bit of research, but once you find out about the sources and resources you have, what are you waiting for?
DEPRESSION SUCKS. Okay. I'm not going to be one of those rosy posy, sugar coaters. I'm going to give you the blunt hard truth. IT'S HARD. But you can handle it. You have much more capabilities and strengths than you probably know.
Of course we all have moments of sadness and occasional grief...hurt is a part of life. A loved one dies, a divorce happens, someone gets hurt, goals and dreams are lost. These can cause incredible real pain too. But normally, after a period of grief, you can usually find ways to heal emotionally. That is what is incredible about our bodies...but with depression your brain chemistry doesn't allow you to feel healing. Your body chemistry doesn't allow you to feel normal.
That's why taking a stand to supoprt someone with this terrible awful delimma is something great you could do for them. Trust me, they will really appreciate it.
We need a world more full of random visits, phone calls, notes and letters, and genuine caring for another individual. Because when it's all said and done, that is a celestial life. God expects us to LIVE his higher laws. :) And when we do, we become who we need to be one good deed at a time. Let God work miracles in your life. Allow him to change you. Let Him comfort you, and heal your pains. I know for a fact that a loving God is waiting, and wanting to bless His children that ask for it. Pray!
Pray like you mean it and God will continue to supplement your life in ways you thought were not possible.
Keep on keepin on folks, life is a great ride and we need to enjoy every moment.
Have a great day, reach out to someone, and press on!!
Love,
