Welcome!

"Don't tell God how big your storm is; tell your storm how big your God is."

I believe in God.

Sad News

This morning, the president of "Rheann's" country signed a law halting and preventing US adoptions from there. This effectively means that "Rheann", and all the others, have much less of a chance of finding a home. I don't know what to do. I am at a loss. If I could pray, I would, but my God connection is rather thin right now, so I can't. But those of you who can, please pray.

What's Been Happening

For the past few weeks, I have been an inpatient in Dr. Sherry's AMPS (Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome) treatment program. I have been getting stronger and my pain is going down. Even if it never gets any better than it is right now, my efforts the past few weeks will have been worth it; and the doctor etc. say that most people who continue to exercise after they leave are pain free one or two months out.

Honestly, it's been hard going through this program. The program is rather like boot camp in that it seems to be designed to break you down and then build you back up. Nearly everyone is reduced to a crying mess at one time or another, and some--like me--many times! Nonetheless, it works. This program really works. I and the others who come through are living proof of that.

Every day I accomplish something new. Today I stood upright for twenty minutes while holding a basket containing a five pound weight. When I leave, I will continue to accomplish new things. I just know it. Watch me go!

About Me

My photo
I am a bipolar, Jewish young adult (had my Hebrew birthday, the one I count, and turned 23 this past January) who also suffers from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. I love life and I live for my best friends: they are my purpose and my reason for trying so hard. I remain passionately devoted to those I love; I will not let my disorders make me totally self-centered. I like to read, write, and sew. My Rabbinical school plans did not work out, and I am now hoping to go into the field of Early Childhood Education. Please note: I am currently maintaining only Carried in His Hands. Enjoy!
