Back on the Blog!

March 12th, 2009

Hmm…I have been absent from the blog for such a long time, it’s almost like I ought to introduce myself again ;-) . I am one of the more reclusive ones of The Willi (ahem, Nate,) but it was not for that reason which brought my posting to a standstill.

Of course I was busy (and still am) with lovely heaps of sewing projects (*sighs in rapture*). Once our CD was recorded in December, I foolishly set out in my mind everything I was to do in the next months, what I was going to get done, completely skipping over James 4:13-14. Well, God had other plans, much to my dismay at times.

I suffered a bout of fatigue that lasted for three months. I needed a nap everyday to  function, and even then dragged on like a sloth on sedatives. The fact that I couldn’t do what I knew had to get done was tragic to my busy-bee nature.

But stripped of my natural pride in accomplishments (and in a whole lot of other things) God revealed to me true dependence on Him in such a powerful way. I am so grateful for what He has done! I am so glad for the prayer during my rest times, the dwelling on His Word, and yes even the “bleh” days and tears, for it caused me to cry out all the more for Him to be my strength. May He receive all the glory and praise!

A little over a week ago, my strength and energy returned, praise God! My family is constantly saying to me, “It sure is nice to see you back,”, “Wow, like last month you would been wiped out after that…” and “You look like the Angie that I remember!” :-)

I thank God for healing, and the things He has taught me! And I want to say thank you to my family, who were so considerate of my health, and wouldn’t let me do too much, even against my will. I love all you guys so much.

I hope this has encouraged you, as it has encouraged me just writing it down! God bless you’all!

-A very thankful Angie

    Might I add that Angie’s “naps” took place usually twice a day, lasting anywhere from 2-3 hours each time, and STILL no energy (in addition to her normal nighttime sleep). Needless to say, I’m so glad she’s on the mend!

    Hey Angie!
    That is so WONDERFUL that you are feeling better now. Praise the Lord!
    I’m trusting God to repair my health at the moment as well. I know he will!
    Love you–

    Angie…might I say Hallelujah, because ‘rest’ is such an important part of recovery for the mind, body AND soul. Sounds to me as if the development of the CD, PLUS all the other ‘whatever’ things you were bouncing around with, took their toll. In the work I do, we call that “Hitting the Wall.” Not very technical, but from my 15-yr. experience with clients, I’ve seen this happen many times. Of course the suggestion is always to learn how to pace yourself…and be good to you! God will bless you for that too.
    Hugs…stay well and happy!

    @Chloe
    I got your letter the other day. I hope you will feel better soon-I’ve been praying for you!

    @Mrs. Delson
    I know rest is such an important part of overall health.
    Speaking of rest, that is what I should be doing now. :-) (This morning I had my wisdom teeth extracted!) Must post about that later…

    Hi Angie…

    Glad you are back and feeling better – though I didn’t know you were feeling under the weather. I pray it was for a season to grow you.

    Many blessings -
    Camille
