Daughter of the King

Since the last time I blogged I finished reading the book of Revelations and every time I read it I am in awe of the promises of God. Here and now I feel blessed by the Lord in so many ways; my friends, my family, the hope I have been given, my health. There are so many blessings I have been given and there are so many more that the Lord has in store for His people that it is hard for me to even imagine the splendor of them! I will wait patiently but I am so excited to walk the streets of Heaven! What a glorious day that will be! This is one of the many promises that the Lord has given us. 

And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain."
 ~Revelations 21:3-4 

One day this world will end, one day Christ will come back for us and He will live among us. Christ has conquered death for us and He has given us the opportunity to live with Him for eternity. He paid our price. Why can't we pay the price? For us to been seen as innocent before the Lord we must also be seen as perfect; no lie, no theft, no sin of any sort. The Lords standard is so high that it is one that we can never meet. So whats the price? The price is our life, an eternity in Hell. But God in His mercy sent Christ who came and died for us, who rose again conquering death. Christ has given us a choice, Christ is the only way to enter heaven and it comes from a humble heart that recognizes its error and repents. 

There are so many promises that we are given for life and for what is to come, for heaven, but those promises are strictly for the Lords people. For people who are thirsty, unsatisfied with this life, who want more and have found that satisfaction in our Lord. 

"I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son."
 ~Revelations 21:6b-7

God loves you and because of His love He made a way for you to perfection. That if you may choose, Christ will take your punishment and God will see you as Christ. Perfect. I am so imperfect, I am so unworthy but that is why Christ came and died for us. He is the one who makes us worthy, its not any accomplishment we have here on earth, its simply a humble heart. A person who realizes their need for a savior and accepts the Savior paying their debt. When we make this choice we have overcome, we are considered a child of God. We become children of the King and I am so excited to hear from the mouth of God that I am His daughter. For now, I will cling to this verse, because we are the sons and daughters of God.  Remember that, let us find our worth in the Lord.

I have been doing well health wise, I have been keeping up with my classes and my medicine. The Lord has been very gracious to me in that area! I started a new vitamin called Plantzymes and it is wonderful! If anyone struggles with nausea you need to try this! You simply take two tablets before meals. Since I began this my nausea has been drastically reduced! It is rare now that I get nauseous from food or medicine, when I used to be nauseous after every meal, I'm telling you its so worth it! 

I just got off of my ten day medicine for my breathing co-infection babisa, the co-infection was gone but during my big setback it came back as well. Its return has given me more opportunities to trust the Lord and rejoice in weakness because this medicine makes me sicker than normal. So I completed it for this month and I am excited for the break! My lyme has been pretty tame the last month, letting me get up earlier and have longer days. I even noticed I am walking faster! My hips are still my big pain spot but I trust they will get better as time goes by. 

I am currently going to a chiropractor for my hips and back which is going well, my chiropractor says my body is accepting and holding the adjustments very well. That was always my big problem before so it's exciting to see improvement! I am also doing water therapy, not as often as I would like but it is better than nothing. It helps me get moving and feel relief with the heat of the water. Overall, we are making progress and taking each day one step at a time. So for now I am counting every blessing and rejoicing over every small step of victory. Keep pressing, your reward will be great and so worth it! 

Prayer Requests:
*Healing for my family, we would grow closer to the Lord daily
*That I can keep up in my classes
*My cyst would remain little-not much of an update here; it hasn't grown but my hand is still weak and sore but it is usable so for now I am just waiting it out
