It was wrong of me to separate the two, as my faith, Jesus, is the absolute reason for my strength in getting through this. I could not exclude Him from my health blog even if others suggested to do so. Thus, I started talking more about my faith on my main blog. Now, many times, it's more about Him than me, which is where I came up with the current title 'About Me, Not About Me'. This story may be about me, but really it's not about me, it's about Him. That old blog still sits out there no longer being used. So I decided over time I will begin to move those posts from there to here to have everything in one place.
In just beginning to read some of my first posts, I've realized the amount of work God has truly done in me. A lot of times we hate the journey and want to get to our next destination, but it is in that very journey that God molds you into who He created you to be. Enjoy each mile of your own journey and know that God is working through you if you let Him.***

God Encounters
Just wanted to share a few "God encounters" lately.
The first one I'll start with is a little while back. Every morning I go downstairs, eat breakfast, get my coffee... sometimes I walk into the living/dining room for various reasons. That morning I went to turn the temperature up. I heard that voice tell me go look out the window. (There is a big window in the living room/front room). So I walked over there and looked up. The exact spot I looked up there was a cross in the sky. You know some planes leave those white lines in the sky on a clear day well it looked like that is what it was- but two of them in the form of a cross. You could say coincidence but I don't believe in coincidence I believe in God and He was telling me He is watching over me.
The second one was a few days back. I was sitting outside reading. I looked up and saw a white butterfly flying along the bottom of the fence. The entire length of the fence it stayed at the very bottom. When it neared the end where it would be out of my sight I said to myself "God if it's going to work out (God knows what I'm referring to) have the butterfly fly above the fence." I don't even know why I said such a thing and seeing as it was at the bottom the whole time and clearly making its way from one side to the other soon to be out of sight there was no reason I should believe that it would happen. But just as it passed out of sight it flew right back, flew up past the top of the fence, and then flew away and I didn't see it again. Thank you God!
The third one was just a couple days ago. Again I was sitting outside reading, same chair, same spot. I looked up to the sky filled with dark clouds and said to myself "God are you there?" I was hoping for one of those "looks like Jesus" clouds or something I guess. But instead at that moment it seemed like fast motion the dark clouds quickly passed and there showed the moon. I thought to myself, hmm I don't know if that means anything, and as I did more dark clouds were coming but instead of covering up the moon like it would look as they should they parted and made this path that I was always able to see the moon through. There was no way this was anything other than a God thing. But it gets better. I then continued reading and shortly after felt the voice telling me ok it's time to go in but before you do, look up. Heat makes my MG worse so it made sense to listen to go in but I didn't know about the look up part. But of course I listened. I closed my book, stood up and looked up... and just as I did the dark cloud opened up again and the moon showed through and at that same moment a voice inside said "Even when you can't see me, I'm still here." God, you are amazing!
And now the last one, for now. This has been happening more and more often but most recently happened yesterday. Sometimes when I'm sitting in the car as a passenger, I'll ask God if it's going to work, or to show me it's going to work, or to show me what the future holds etc. And then I'm told to look at the license plate of a specific car and it will start with an "H" and then I'm told to look at the license plate of a different specific car and it will start with an "L". If you don't know, those are my current initials. But it doesn't stop there... for the next couple minutes I will see more H's and L's then ever before. It is crazy. Just crazy. I'm not on the search for only those letters, I'm told to look at specific cars and that's when I see the letters. Crazy. I don't know exactly what it means but I do know that God is definitely with me.
God is ALWAYS with us. Sometimes we just have to close our eyes to see, turn everything off to hear, and open our hearts to receive His presents... I spelled that wrong for a reason. God's love is a gift. Cherish it. Thank you Jesus!
