RRBC Senior Camp 2015

Gosh I am worn out.

So it's been a while since I posted but last Friday night I was still packing and trying to wrap my head around that camp was about to happen after a bit of a crazy week.

I was distracted some days having to deal with all kinds of calls including ones from my doctors office. I do have to retake some blood tests tomorrow so be praying for me about that. I will post more when I find out more and will be less cryptic then as well.

This week at camp was draining on me. I often times wish that I could change the hearts of the students who come to camp but only God can do that. Watching them do the opposite can be draining.

But this week was also draining in good ways. I got to watch a girl I care so deeply about mature and grow even more making me proud of the woman she is becoming. I got to see my friends worship and do amazing things for God. And I just about lost my voice while finding my voice once again in worship of my King.

And I got to counsel again with Anna who I am so incredibly proud of. I put her in charge of a lot this week as I tried to do other things and she excelled. She continues to show her true servant's heart as she gives of her whole self at camp to the campers and staff. Gosh I just love that I know her and get to counsel with her and have seen her grow over the years.

Thank you for all your prayers for us at Senior Camp and continue to pray as Junior Camp started today.

Scars

Image
I said quite some time ago that I would post a picture of my newest scar...and then I forgot...when I remembered I thought why not just do a post about my scars...I know people who have tattoos and show those off...but I don't have those instead my story is etched on my body in a different way...so here it is...and in some of them I tried to circle scars that I thought were hard to see but it may end up being easier to see them without my attempt at helping... So these first two are obviously of my stomach...the scar with the one by it is hard to see but that scar is over 20 inches long...it wraps around my left side...you can see the end of it in the picture below...that is from my first transplant from when I was 8...the scar with the 2 by it is from my most recent transplant...which as you can tell is much smaller and is still a little red because it's still healing...the three scars circled under my belly button in the bright blue are from dialysis when I was 21 mon

It’s been a while

Hey there, So it’s been a while. I wish I could say I was returning with amazingly great news about life or some mind blowing tidbit about Jesus. But I think by now if you are reading this or have rread any of my posts in the past you know that is not this blog. Having a blog that mostly chronicals the downs of being a person with a chronic illness means that posting again after a bit of a hiatus can really only mean one thing - more downs to report. If you’ve seen my recent social media posts. You might think, “How can that be? You are doing all this work at your house.” Well when you are sick you get good at knowing that life goes on no matter how you feel. So you go on and sometimes above with it. Here’s what is going on - after having a horrible appointment with a gynecologist in something like October I finally decided I really needed to see someone else because the increasing pain on and off my period is not ok. And as someone who has wanted a hysterectomy for more than 1

After Moving Day

Health update - I have been feeling better since starting this medication. The side effects were a little rough at first but I think my body has adjusted since I have been feeling much better and have energy again. Mom and Dad moved into their newly remodeled house this weekend and I am so happy for them. They have needed a one story house for a few years since they have been talking about it even before Dad's accident. We have already created so many fun memories and stories to tell during the renovation that I can't wait to see what other adventures this house has for our family. Often during this move I have felt like other people have been more attached to my parents house than my family. Sure my brother, sister and I all grew up in that house and we had a lot of fun memories in that house. But a four bedroom, two level house was too much house for my parents to live in alone. In the past few years instead of being able to remember the fun times in the house we've j
