About Me
I have been married for 15 years and have a 13 year old daughter and a 10 year old son. I am 38 years old. My husband is a teacher. I have a very supportive mother, father, sister and 4 year old neice. I love God. Without him I couldn't do anything. I've had Lyme disease for 15 years which causes me to be on total disability. I also have mono that won't go away. I am on bed rest now 18 hours a day. I also have Babesia, Bartonella, hypothyrodism, GERD, a hyatial hernia, gastritis, bile backup in stomach, 2 open stomach spinchters, severe chronic back and leg pain, headaches, low blood pressure, and the list can go on and on. As a mom it is hard to take care of two kids and a family with all of this. God is my rock. With prayer and people praying for me, he has enabled me to do this for over 15 years. I got sick on my honeymoon. Always look at life with your cup half full not half empty. If life hands you lemons, make lemonade. You can either be bitter, or better. IT'S ALL UP TO YOU, IT'S YOUR CHOICE!!!!!Love to all, Brenda
