What a difference a day can make

First of all, thanks to the friends and family that responded to my last blog, giving me "permission" to feel sad, mad, and basically out of kilter. I really needed that. I'd been trying so hard not to break--though I saw myself in such disrepair I belonged in a junk yard.

But after I gave in to the breakdown, after I prayed, and listened to wise counsel, and heard from Him, things changed.

Let me explain. It's about "Truth," and how the way we perceive it affects our attitudes. See, if you change your perspective, just a little bit, your whole outlook can change.

Your truth can be perceived differently and still be true.

I have been physically altered, have neuropathy, have gained weight, am in pain, and am sick of all this nonsense. True.

But...as I look from another perspective....I am not my hair. I am not my boobs. I am not my running. True beauty does not come from thinness. (Though I still prefer it!) I can still walk. I can still love others. I will be done with radiation in a few weeks. I am exactly where I need to be to fulfill the story of my life, and God's perfect will for my life, and I surrender. Also True.

And for the moment anyway, I am at peace.

p.s. For details as to the way He spoke to me, email me privately.
