I Will Praise Him (A Life Update)

 Hey there! 

I'm quite uncertain as to how to begin this post; so much about my life has changed all in the span of three and a half weeks. It has been the most wonderful blessed whirlwind of an experience and I'm slowly adjusting to a new and unfamiliar sense of normalcy. 

Some of you know that I was officially diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome in March of 2020. (It is a common endocrine disorder that affects women of childbearing age and results in hormonal imbalances and fertility issues.) 

My health began rapidly deteriorating in the spring; the situation only continued to worsen throughout the summer. A CT scan in May showed cysts on both ovaries; with the addition of constant fatigue, hot flashes, abdominal and pelvic pain, debilitating brain fog and irritability...it all made creating anything an impossible task. 

I was placed on an all new treatment at the beginning of October and it has completely changed my existence for the better. 

It was discovered that I had been dealing with low progesterone and estrogen for quite some time; the mental health aspect of it all began as early as my freshman year in college.

After so many years of unnecessary struggle...my hormones are finally experiencing perfect peace. 

My heart is SO thankful for the love and care of Jesus.

 I am never deserving of His wonderful mercy, nor His grace; yet He has shown so much of it in spite of how human I always am. 🙌

"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him". (Psalm 28:7)

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

Molly's Morning Thoughts: Are You Inviting Jesus In Or Shutting Him Out?

  A Word From Molly : I'm a little late on sharing a thought from yesterday morning but I couldn't go without giving it a place on the blog. I love that the Lord put this on my heart to write because it is SO true. I may turn this into a new blog segment, we shall see, but I hope this speaks to your heart as much as it did mine. Molly's Zone will celebrate its 10th birthday on Monday and I still feel so blessed to have the opportunity to write for Jesus. Molly's Zone has been a little quiet (life has been quite interesting lately) but I cannot wait to share more all throughout the month of September.  I woke up early this morning thinking about something that the Lord placed on my heart I LOVE podcasts & decided to try something new on Spotify the other day & listened to an episode about God's power in the midst of impossible situations and it got me wondering: How often are we guilty of attempting to take on a situation that is too much for us to handl...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
