I'm Still Alive!!

Hello all!!
I'm still alive and doing wonderful!! Two Sabbaths ago, I got to see one of my best friends again and we had a blast together!! She and her family came to our Church again and her Daddy preached because our Pastor wasn't feeling well the day before, but was actually better the next day and did come to Church. Oh, how I just LOVE my Church family as well as, of course, my family!
Now, through all the time that I haven't written I must admit, there is nothing new with us!!
Lately, I've just been tryin' to keep up with the house cleanin' and stuff, which has been going fairly well, though I will admit, I need some improvement, lol;)
One thing that I am praising God for is that I am convinced that my medication is working!!! Oh I am so thankful and all the glory goes to God Alone!!!
Well, I know this was extremely short, but Mommy needs to get on the computer because she needs to take Daddy to work tomorrow (early) and they both need to get some sleep!
Adieu!

Well, I went to my Neurologist this Tuesday and it turns out that I do indeed have epilepsy. I will now have to take one pill every day for the rest of my life (as long as these pills work), but that's alright. I am just thanking God that this is treatable and that once they start working, I will once again be able to have a normal life. I say that because I have motor tics and I sometimes find myself worrying that I will have one in front of people or when I'm drinking something. Sometimes I do have one or a few but oh well, there's nothing I can do about it. Everything that happens is a part of God's Perfect Will and I find myself trusting Him more and more since I had my seizure. I know full well that my life is in hands and He has a reason for everything, there is no reason I cannot trust Him, no reason to doubt Him. He made the whole universe and all that lies therein, how could I not trust Him? He holds my life in His hands.
I will admit, I do get frustrated sometimes when I have a tic, but most of the time nowadays it doesn't really bother me. I must just accept it and just trust His Perfect Will and pray that He will use this for His Own Glory. God's Will be done.

What A Week!

Hello,
We have had one hectic week and I thought I would tell you all about it.
On Monday I had a seizure and was rushed to the ER in an ambulance. I hadn't slept well the night before so I was just laying in bed for a while and then decided to get up and that's when I had it, it was my first and hopefully my last one. We stayed there for about 3 or so hours. My Pastor had come down and I was really touched by that. I mean, I know it's part of a Pastor's job, but he even told Mommy that that's not the only reason he came down, he did it because he loves us and wanted to be with us at that time.
On Tuesday, I went to the doctor because of it.
Wednesday was my 18th Birthday, but we weren't able to do anything because Mommy and Daddy wanted me to rest. Wednesday night I literally didn't get any sleep at all because......
Thursday I had to have a sleep-deprived EEG. So as you can imagine I was rather tired and all I thought about was going home to bed. When we left there we came home, ordered Chinese food, went to pick it up, came home, put in the "Sound of Music" DVD (that my bro got me for Christmas:)), and ate. It probably wasn't 5 minutes after I ate that I was sound asleep and then slept for about 5 hours. It was nice, I was all warm (bro had brought my mattress downstairs some nights ago, because he and I sleep in the living room sometimes, he sleeps on the couch and I sleep on the mattress) and Mommy and bro were right there with me. Mommy had stayed awake with me and bro was going to but we told him we wanted him to get some sleep. The EEG wasn't bad though not something I would want to have done on a regular basis or more than once, unless it was the Lord's Will.
Yesterday and today we just kind of hung around the house, well today we went out for a bit and got to visit Memaw and Grandpa, which was fun.
Tuesday I have an appointment with a Neurologist so we'll see what he says.
I know the Lord had planned before there was time for me to have a seizure though I don't know why, but I am trying so hard to trust Him with this. I will admit though that there are times when I'm afraid of having another one, but I know those worries will pass. Everything that happens, no matter what, is all according to His Perfect Will.
I got a very sweet card from my dear friend Meghan a couple of days ago and she was just saying the sweetest things about how this is all a part of God's Perfect Will and I have to trust Him. I truly believe it was one of the sweetest cards I have ever received.
Since I know you read my blog, Thank you Meghan, those words meant a lot to me.....and so does your friendship. I love you!
