Hi Yall,
I don't know what to do about this. To get yall up to date on some info u need to know to better understand and be able to help me out on this.
When I was 8 yrs old I was disgusted w seizures and I have been seizure free for about 13 yrs. Some of yall know that I was recently married for almost one yr anyways I went to my annual doctors visit for the seizures so the doctor could renew my meds for another yr. Well I told him that I didn't have a job and health insurance and was spacing my med out then told him I wasn't taking it . So after talking to him and doing the usual mini tests that he does. He felt like I didn't need to take it anymore and ive been doing great!!! BUT my Aunt that has bipolar swears that I need it to control my mood swings ( which I don't have at all ) an other things that she believes it does which it doesn't. anyways heres where I need advice on:
I want to tell my old church family about what God has done but im afraid that it will spread like wild fire thru the church which is ok kinda w me but my aunt that has bipolar doesn't go to that church anymore or maybe she does I don't know but she has friends in that church that would tell her anything that happens in that church. Even more so I have a spiritual mom that was always telling me that one day I will not have to be taking med for my seizures and God is going to heal me of it. Which he did but im afraid that if I tell my spiritual Mom that she would turn right around and tell my Aunt . I want to share the testimony but im afraid that if I do then it would get to my aunt and she would have a fit and because of her bipolar disorder she would really go off on me and my husband and we wouldn't hear the end of it just like some of the wedding issues that didn't resolve the way my Aunt wanted them to. OMG HELP. What Should I Do? Or if u where in my shoes what would u do?
Thanks

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!

I'm not a religious person but I can give you the argument that God created doctors and medicine to help us. Most of that medicine has literally been lying around us in plants so if you believe in creation of all things then you can legitimately conclude plants containing medicines was part of his plan. Yes, God will heal you if you have the sense to take the help he is offering,
