How do I trust God with my health and yet keep pursuing good health?\u00a0 It has been a very hard balance in my mind and heart. For 2 years we have known about a doctor in Idaho who can treat food allergies and other health issues, but we had never acted on it. Just recently, as my symptoms have been getting worse, someone at Moody mentioned to Dan that I should really check out this doctor and get tested in his office for Lyme. Lyme?\u00a0 We never even thought of that! The doctor is less than 1 hour from our house and the test was free, so we figured, why not? It was actually a relief when he said I had it because the health puzzle finally made sense!<\/p>\n<p>This doctor doesn&#8217;t use conventional methods for treating people.\u00a0 He is a trained Chiropractor that uses muscle testing to diagnose people and uses a method called CBT to train the brain to heal the body. The best part is, he is a Christian and gives the credit to God for the methods he has developed. We personally know people who have been treated and healed by him and his waiting room has a huge binder full of thank you notes from people who got their health back because of him.\u00a0 This is still a big step of faith for us and yet we know, without a doubt, that God has orchestrated all of this. I wasn&#8217;t supposed to get in until August for my series of appointments, but a week after my diagnosis I got a call from the office saying they could fit me in the end of March!!\u00a0 That is truly a miracle and just another confirmation that God is making this happen- and not us trying to push for something.<\/p>\n<p>We would love your prayers for these appointments!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have 1 appt on March 31st, 3 on April 3rd, and 2 on April 4th.<\/li>\n<li>Dan is going to be out of town from April 2nd-7th on a trip that was planned months ago.<\/li>\n<li>My mom is going to be able to come to Spokane to help with the kids!<\/li>\n<li>My body will go through a detox effect that could last for months as I get rid of the Lyme and co-viruses in my body and brain. I&#8217;m not looking forward to this part at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thank you for praying for our family!\u00a0 We know so many of you have been praying for us and it really has been your prayers and God&#8217;s faithfulness that has kept us going. Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 327px; left: 261px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 687px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Praises!
