Battle

In this process of me being sick and seeing doctor after doctor I have become discouraged and had a sense of hopelessness after feeling like each doctor was just passing me on to the next doctor but no one was ever sticking with me to figure out the root cause.

No one was fighting for me.

My family has recently started going to a new chiropractor. But he is more then just cracking your back, he believes in the whole wellness of a person. After hearing about how great he is, I decided to make an appointment.

Today was my second time seeing him this week and going there gave me hope that we will get things figured out and get me to where I can live a healthy lifestyle.

When we were talking he had a strength in his voice and determination. He showed me what his tests found and stated a game plan. He said he was determined to get to the bottom of these issues and to help me get to where I wanted to go. He asked how far I was wanting and willing to go, that it would not be easy, but that he was willing to help.

I have always wanted to eat healthy, whole, natural foods and work out every day. I want my body to be in the best shape that it can be so that I am able to do all that I was created to do with out any physical hindrances that I was placing on it. But I have never been taught how to do that, I try to educate myself but even then it is limited in knowing how to put all that knowledge together.

So I am very happy now that there is some one fighting for me, fighting with me in this. I can not express how much that released me. For so long I felt like I was fighting this alone but I knew I was not a good fighter because I had no idea what I was doing.

Now I feel ready, Now I feel armed.

There is just something about some one coming along side of us a fighting with us.

We are in a battle. There are so many aspects to this battle, but there is a battle wither we realize it or not.

We were not meant to be in this battle alone.

When we look around and we don't see any one, it can be very discouraging. And I believe that explains a lot of my feelings these past few months.

Now to have this chiropractor say that he is in this battle with me, that he is going to keep fighting until we figure out answers and keep working on them, I have strength to keep going.

Amazing how one seemingly small, insignificant conversation can give you so much strength and encouragement.

I wonder, how many people around us feel alone in whatever battle they are going through right now, and I wonder if we are the ones to give strength and encouragement just by simply letting them know they are not alone.

The power of togetherness. The power of knowing we are not alone.

So much truth in knowing we are not alone in this battle.
