Help me with my Unbelief

I'm having one of those days when everything I think to write about sounds dumb to me...

So I guess I will start out with saying that the past few days after my surgery I haven't been feeling the best...I was feeling good earlier today...but as the day has gone on I have been feeling worse and worse...no abdominal pain today...just sick to my stomach...which is a step up from where I have been...so even though it sounds bad...it's actually good...

But I don't really want to talk about how I have been feeling because that's kind of depressing...and I get tired of talking about depressing things...

But I have tried to write this post about three different times now...and every time I start crying and it ends up being a bit sad...so I guess it's going in that direction anyway...

The thing is I am still learning how to handle my life being messy and how to trust God through my mess of a life with this jacked up body...and that's a bit of a downer...not the fact that I am trying to rely on God more but it's a downer that my life is a hot mess...I often feel like the guy in Matthew 9 coming to God and saying "I believe; help me with my unbelief."...and believe me I know that sounds like it doesn't make sense...but that's how I feel...the thing is I get caught up in seeing my mess from my point of view...and it looks unmanageable...and I start to freak out a little before thinking things through fully...before remembering that with God all things are possible...

But even knowing that...things in my life are still scary and unpredictable...and you would think with all the things I have to deal with I would be good at dealing with surprises and what not by now...but I'm not...I really suck at it...

Yet I keep asking him to help me with my unbelief no matter what that means...if that means more shitty days then truthfully I'll take it...because working on my unbelief means I get to be with Jesus...I get to spend time learning from him and crazy as it may sound I want that no matter what...and yeah I will complain about it sometimes...because I am also a fickle human who can't ever seem to make up my mind...but I also understand that the people that got the closest to God...the people who he blessed...were the people who went through a lot of shit just to be near him...and I want to be near him...

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

A few quick notes before I get into what I really want to talk about

1st - I know I have said it before but gosh I love living in a small town...this week so many people did cool things for us...like some anonymous person paying for the repair work we had done on mom's car which included new tires...or Venier's fixing dad's pocket watch for free...that's like the fourth free thing they have done for us...ya'll are too good to us... 2nd - My iron IV on Wednesday went ok I felt a little sickish afterwards but they did give it to me kind of fast...and Thursday I was sick part of the day too...but no big deal...and my hemoglobin went up...when it was drawn on Monday it was 6.6 then when it was drawn on Wednesday it was 7.3...so that was pretty great...also on a health note a have a few people who are trying to get tested right now as possible donors so we will see where that goes... 3rd - I had a great time on Thursday watching the rain fall and people pass the house while I was sitting on the front porch with my dad first and then m

A little way in advance preview

I am not sure why I am doing this but my cousin Lisa tagged me in hers. Usually I ignore these things but I figure maybe if I talk about it and put part of it out there it will motivate me to work on it some more.  What is the working title of your book or project? Well hopefully it will be a book about my life. And the title would be the same as my blog probably Stories of a Real Life Wonder Woman Where did the idea come from for your book or project? People keep telling me to write a book about my life...they have been all my life. And I want to publish a book so I am slowly working on this. What genre does it fall under, if any? It would be an autobiography. If applicable, whom would you choose to play your characters in a movie? Um well it would be people playing me and my family and friends. But I have always said Keira Knightly would be me in a movie. What is a one-sentence synopsis of your manuscript or project? I am not sure how to answer this. It's my life
