Reflection
~~~When I reflect back on 2018, I see how God has been working on me big time. All of the changes and lessons learned are so encouraging that I am so excited for 2019. I remember God pressing on my heart to start this page. I was definitely scared. I kept pushing that voice down so I could not hear it but it kept rising up. When His voice could not be ignored anymore, I obeyed and put up my first post in April. The Lord told me through my pain there is healing. He said through your struggles there is hope. God said “Do not worry about what happens next, just write!” He wanted me to reach out. I said “Ok, if I can help one person, this is all worth it!”
~~~~~April 2, 2018~~~~~The post that started it all~~~~~~
~~~I had a life changing, mind altering, soul shaking moment about a month and a half ago (no, it wasn’t an orgasim lol) It was something better. It was God and my Mom giving me the clearest message I have ever heard.
~~~So on this particular morning, I was severely depressed because of all of the things I couldn’t do. All my limitations were weighing me down. I went outside to the beach and cried and cried. I was tired of having Lupus, tired of having Fibromyalgia. I was tired of trying to get through a day. I was tired from all the pain. As I looked out at the ocean and started listening I could hear the waves crashing. I started to pray.
~~~God’s message was loud and clear. I had to stop trying to change what could not be changed. He said to me “focus on the things you can change.” And then my Mom’s voice “God is right, Mija. Focus on who you surround yourself with, focus on the positive. If you no longer like what’s surrounding you, change your surroundings.”
~~~And, so to my new page. I want to help others like me who have no interest in life to find beauty and purpose again. It can be found even with Lupus. God can do the miraculous. We just have to believe.
~~~~I sincerely hope everyone reading this has a happy and safe New Year. May the Lord bless each one of you!!! #lupusmariposa® #ListenToGod #YearInReflection #HappyNewYear #SoHumbled 🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🦋🦋🦋🦋
