I am amazed by how far God has brought me in the last year. A year ago I was still taking the medication and I was so beaten down. Even during times in my life that would have otherwise been happy occasions I was unable to find happiness. I was so fearful that I would forever be the person that I had become while on the medication. I was unable to have conversations with people, even those I had known for years, because my confidence was gone. My memory failed me, I couldn't find the words that I wanted to say, I was in a sense lost.
The change in me now is nothing short of amazing. I find myself smiling and laughing all the time. Even during times of trial or when things just don't seem right I have an underlying sense of joy. I can take care of my kids without getting irritated and yelling all the time. I can actually PLAY with my kids now!
I truly believe that God used this entire experience to bring me closer to Him. I found that the only way I was able to get by was to fully rely on Him and know that even when I was going through one of the hardest times of my life that He still had a plan for me. He was in control the entire time. I found peace knowing that He was the only one who could heal me and restore me to the wife, mom and person He wanted me to be. I am so thankful to God for sustaining me and helping me to endure.
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Psalm 62:5-8 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; For my hope is from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, He is my fortress; I will not be shaken. On God my salvation and my glory rest; He is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

I can honestly say that it is a blessing and an answer to my many, many prayers to have 'my" daughter back! I love hearing your laugh! You have been laughing just as much as I remember you doing prior to that EVIL medication.
Thank you God for answering that prayer.
Love you much! :)
