“I feel like an Apple!”

For those of you that know me really well, you know that there are times when I tell you “I feel like an apple!”¬† And it is so true!¬† About a week and half ago I gave myself a lovely bruise on my knee… I wasn’t even doing anything stupid!¬† Well, needless to say, I still have a bruise!

Almost three years ago I discovered that I had celiac disease.¬† I don’t think I can put into words how I felt.¬† There are so many adjectives! …scared, frightened, shocked… okay so they all have the same general meaning.¬† I couldn’t imagine what my life would be like. I knew that there was no cure, just a way to prevent the symptoms… but that didn’t set my mind at ease.¬† I wrestled with God for the longest time.¬† “How dare He give this to me!”¬† I thought.¬† “God, please take it away!” was my plea.

God taught me so much those first few months!¬† I learned that He is always in control – even where my health is concerned.¬† I taught me that He is able to provide my daily bread… a really ironic thing to consider.

Sometimes I still feel like an apple, and there are days when I get really sick.  But it is on those days that God reminds me to place my trust in Him and rely on His strength.. not mine.

So, what is the purpose of this post…

Don’t feel sorry for me, please!¬† God has used this to bring me closer to him.

Second, don’t worry if you accidentally asked me if I want cookies, spaghetti, or anything like that… I won’t be offended.
