Heavenly Flowers




These Flowers are such a beautiful creation from God... I always think of heaven when I see beautiful flowers. Something about them makes my heart happy <3
Blessing. Such a simple but very powerful word. I feel sooo blessed these past few days, I feel the spirit strong in my heart and I know things may not be so sunny in the small picture of life. In the large picture however things are fantastic! I have been able to help my mom plant some pretty flowers and it was not easy for my body and I had to do some "simple" tasks my own innovated way, such as sitting down ect. but I still was able to complete the task... I am so proud of myself! we haven't had flowers in years because of our frequent trips out of town for medical care... as my Neurologist and I connect through email it saves me trips... and I am hoping and trying to cut back on some physical therapy yayayyy after nearly 2 long awful rehabilitating years I get to cut back a little on my visits...now that does not mean I am healed and better I just am doing better.... which golly 2 years! I should be showing some improvements right?! I am stuggling with my Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome/Dysautonomia and Mass Cell Activation. Now I look forward to more rehabilitation and healing and I get myself in a tizzy over it all it is truly overwhelming for me. I am very scared but I read a simple post yesterday that said "doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith" I think Meg Johnson is the one who posted that she is amazing! check her out athttp://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmegjohnsonspeaks.com%2F&ei=4waIU7SKEcGWyAS-04DADg&usg=AFQjCNEDELD2Oy4sdHWC6L1IazznGU04rw&sig2=Hzq_nsqbvp_RNhg9_fVKrg&bvm=bv.67720277,d.aWw I feel that quote was a sticky note from heaven for my eyes to read so I could let the worry go and be strong and ready to fight this battle with my faith in our ultimate physician Jesus Christ. He is the ultimate healer, he knows how you feel, he understands, I love him I can't wait the day to just give him a big ole hug! But until then I will do my work here on earth the best of my abilities even if it means sitting down when I would usually stand. Or rest when before I did not need to rest. Things aren't always my way but they are the way they are meant to be <3 I have to just do things my way, Chelle's way... Heavenly Father's way.

Micro Sized but Readable Book of Mormon..

Do you ever wonder what would happen if you had teeny pocket sized yet somehow readable Book of Mormon in your pocket at all times to give it to any whom you felt.... I just wish that was possible because I truly wonder how many more souls who would not normally of had the chance of teachings of the word of wisdom... I am pretty sure I would be running (well I can't run right now) so I would be doing my best to tell the world about the wonderfulness of the scriptures and I probably would give one to any who would take... I'd be outside the grocery store with my tiny books like a girl scout luring in  any ears or hearts that wanted to hear hahah and I know my heart would be happy. I just can't shake this wonder...I can not imagine my life with out it and at one point unfortunately I did not have it in my life and I am soo glad I opened my heart to the most wonderful blessing of all time- God Loves you. Jesus Loves you. They are waiting for you with opened arms, always. trials in life are hard and I just can't imagine pushing forward without the knowledge of the resurrection that we are gaining bodies here on earth to return to heaven, for eternity and learning lessons to strengthen us... and the joy in life I feel I feel the depts. of happiness, peace, comfort, and humility with this confirmation, life is beautiful. Because of God and our Savior. My Savior. Jesus Christ.-Chelle

Update on me and how i am handling my struggle

I just wanted to post about how I am doing with life with POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC TACHYCARIDA SYNDROME/ DYSAUTONOMIA & MASS CELL ACTIVATION(1/3 OF POTS PATIENTS GET MASS CELL ACTIVATION)First I'd like to say I can barely feel my hands and fingers from the wrists down (both hands) which is making typing very difficult... I am having a very hard time and I feel almost obsessive of all my symptoms and I know they are just symptoms and I am safe.... however knowing what is truly going on sends me into panic and worry. You would think that I would feel safe and less worried but for some reason my brain just can let it go. It is a vicious cycle of worry...I pray for help with this and for comfort... especially at night when it is the worst.( I do not know what it is about night but everything hurts worse then) I am taking my new medications for mass cell and I knew it wouldn't be an overnight fix and I have a long road ahead but I just feel so frustrated with it all the diet "how much salt did I eat", "how much water did I drink", "urgh I still didn't make goal!" the constant medications... I just worry too that I am not better and I am trying so hard to put it in the lord's hand for he knows what is best for me... but I still struggle with drowning in constant worry... I am trying and for now that is all I can do. Sometimes we have to stumble and fall in life and I think we learn the most when we are down... hoping I learn and awaiting happy moments for they are what keeps me going like the olive leaf and Noah.

BE AWARE OF PHONE MICROSOFT/WINDOWS SCAM...

AFTER THEY "HELP YOU" THEY STICK YOU WITH A "BILL" AND USE YOUR INFORMATION!!!!!! PLEASE O NOT FALL INTO THE BIG SCAM! THEY ARE TRICKY.... and yes Microsoft already knows this is happening not too much they can do of course... so don't blame them, it is not their fault...someone is just using there name.

The Importance of Prayer

I have always been aware of how important pray is (well almost always) in my early teens I didn't have a testimony nor did I know if the church was 100% true. But in a short time I discovered it was true and soo much more. I am so grateful for this discovery for it is the best thing in life I have ever learned, or gained. The power of prayer is amazing, followed by the Holy Ghost. In times of trouble prayer is there to turn to for help. In times of uncertainty., prayer is there to help guide us. In times of worry  prayer is there to give us the spirit of comfort. In times of happiness and joy prayer is there for thanksgiving. In times of Sorrow prayer is there to lift us up. I could go on all day...At times we need prayer for others.... prayer is there to talk to your heavenly father he hears every word. Whether in silence or aloud, every word is heard and he listens. Sometimes we pray for things and they do not have the outcome we would of liked or hoped for but remember our heavenly father knows what is best for us and those around us.  Eventually we will be able to look back at those moments and go aha! that is why such and such things didn't work out the way I wanted. and you know what normally comes after those moments.... Gratitude and a dose of humility. Prayer works, prayer is a blessing from heaven to use against the rocky currents of life. When in doubt pray....he is there for you waiting with opened arms, in any situation...HE LOVES YOU <3-Chelle
