Do you trust God with your body?

So - this was my devotional yesterday...........(sorry - I'm a day late)...........I laughed when I opened it because i was heading to the doctor's office!!!! I've found a new doctor that I really like - it's a long process because I have some medical issues from being pregnant (I had the HELLP syndrome during pregnancy and it really messed me up - almost died from giving birth - long story - but I'm here!!!). Anyway - I haven't really ever been the same since then - I'm always tired and fatigued and to some extend - irrational in my mood swings......totally different than before Jake where my strength is concerned because I was a marathoner - so, I was in great shape - always exercising and full of energy (I didn't say anything about the mood swings because my family will say those have always been around...LOL) .

The following link explains the HELLP syndrome much better than I can: http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/UVAHealth/peds_hrpregnant/hellp.cfm. Once they took Jake by emergency c-section at 27 weeks - he weighed in at 1 lb - I was rushed to ICU for 7 days where they pumped me full of medicine to keep me from seizing and whatever else happens and needless to say - it messed me up good....however, GOD IS GOOD and I am here..........

I ended up having a hysterectomy due to the fact that my hematologist told me that if I got pregnant again - my chance of survival was only 10%......not good odds....so, we opted to take care of it. Long story short - I deal with lots of hormonal issues which can't be treated with medicine because most of the medicines cause you to have BLOOD CLOTS - which I am now a high risk clotter................confused yet???

I found a new doctor to help me figure out what is going on - on the inside. We are going to the endocrinologist to do thorough blood test as it relates to my thyroid (because now I have thyroid issues from pregnancy and take medication) and then to the hematologist to see if anything has changed as it relates to my thrombophilia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombophilia)......

I know that God is with me. I'm just tired of being tired.....you know what I mean???

SO, before I went to the doctor - I was doing my devotional and this was it:

"When Christ paid the debt to set you free, he paid for your body as well as your soul to be the place where he abides. The Lord made your body, and he wants to fill his creation with his presence. You were not created to work for God. You were created to be filled by God. He promises that death will not get the last word. For eternity, you will be given the perfect and glorified version of the body you now have: no more sickness, no more back pain or deformity, no more chemical and hormonal imbalances.

"When you trust God with your body, you commit to not using your body for immorality. This physical body is a temple, and impure acts blaspheme the price God paid to make you clean. God intends for your body to show off his glory. He wants you to use your body in ways that prove God can satisfy us above anything the world has to offer.

Applying and living I Corinthians 6: 19-20 can be a huge task for most of us. But there are just as many who can testify to the power God gives to your soul when he has control of your body. For some of us, this will mean fighting addictions. For others, it will mean a righteous determination to keep the temple pure. And most of us will hear this passage reawaken the call to pursue strength in our physical bodies so that god will be glorified."...

wow - isn't that awesome.....he is always an on-time God. I know that he is with me - he will take are of me and all these issues I'm having - one day will be NO more!!!!! That's what I'm talking about!

Be blessed.
