Lost?

You probably thought I got lost, right? Well life has been quite hectic. Since my last post, I got the results of my blood work, which confirmed PCOS. It also evidenced having thyroid issues. I started Synthroid 50mg, Metformin 1000mg, and Vit D 4000iu. I've never taken so many pills. Plus, there's so many instructions and side effects with these meds! Don't eat half hour to an hour before and after taking Synthroid. Oh, and don't forget the severe GI upset with Metformin! My, oh, my! I'm still trying to get used to everything. I have changed my diet to low carb. It's working because I've lost 10lbs! Wahooo!!! Other than getting the results and taking medications, nothing else has changed with the infertility issue...

On another note, I start a new career April 4th! I am so excited! Not only is the pay better, but I will be able to spend more time with my family. I will save myself about 2 hours a day with not having to be stuck in the car driving to and from work. I couldn't be more thrilled!! These last 2 weeks are going to be the longest. I am so thankful for those who are supportive of the change! Please continue to pray for me during the transition phase!! 

One last thing! I recently attended a Clayton Jennings event, which was absolutely amazing. He emphasized that God has a plan for each and every person, whether you believe or not. There are so many people that are just afraid - whether it's to talk to God, trust in God, believe in God, or to worship God; however, God is going to be there for you no matter your sins, no matter what your past is, and no matter your color, race, sex, or beliefs. There's a narrow path to Heaven, you should jump on and start believing! My relationship with God has grown tremendously over the past 6 months. It began with the struggle of infertility, the struggles of what I wanted in a career, and just life! One day, I just stopped what I was doing and talked to God. I began to see answers. I asked God, "Why me?," and I began to realize. It's an amazing thing! 




As always, you're a beautiful person, inside and out. Love life and love yourself!
