Healing Cycles

The last couple weeks have felt filled with hope and promise of my future being wonderful, long held dreams on the verge of moving into reality, and healing that I've known is necessary in deep places of my soul feeling right before me. But all that is exhausting.

It was beneficial and encouraging to hear from the neurologist that my brain is healing well and there is no permanent damage. I didn't fail the test. :)  Now I can put the healing focus on the adrenal fatigue, whiplash, and emotional component.

But I'm tired.  A lot.  My chiropractor explained that healing can move in cycles.  As we keep working toward complete healing, some weeks we peel back a layer and go a little deeper.  I have to sleep a lot more.  I'm pretty useless except to get to my appointments and try to be present for my kiddos occasionally.  I can feel my whole being releasing the stress and strain and putting all the energy I have into bringing my body, soul, and spirit back into alignment.

I'm in awe of the team of people working with me in this healing journey that is about my car accident but touching into wounded places that I thought might never see light.  And Heath and I continue to see a marriage counselor who is the best I have ever heard of.  We have made some giant steps forward and that has been extremely encouraging for both of us.

I am healing.  Deeply.  Back at the beginning of this healing journey in April, I made the declaration that I would FULLY HEAL.  I assumed that might take a good month.  HA. I know now that God took me up on that declaration and decided to use this time to heal many areas in my whole being.  And he has connected me to five truly gifted, amazing, professional people to work with me and provide the most comprehensive support system to heal in that I could have ever imagined.  In fact, I would've never imagined being surrounded by such a caliber of talented and intuitive healers.

So . . . the healing is taking far longer than I thought.  But it's going far deeper than I imagined.  And in the end, you might not even recognize me.  :)  Thank you to all who continue to pray for me in this season.
