Well, as i promised i said i would you give you my definition of what it means to be a virtual perimenopausal chic. In Prov 31:10: Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.This means to me that i am a brave and noble woman. I can fight through any battle, struggle, and opposition that comes my way with the help of my Lord Jesus. Yes, i am a christian woman who has battles in life just like you. I am in no way immuned of them, just like you! I know the world has a different definition:morally excellent. Yes, i want to always demonstrate moral excellence,but i can only do that with the help and blessing of Jesus.
So, i've changed my blog title 3 times now and i think i am finally satisfied and happy w/the one i chose. My title says that i am a housewife which i thoroughly enjoy, but i still am yearning for a purpose and reason to get up in the morning. It may sound like i'm depressed but i a sure you i am not. Not having to go to work at the crack of early fricken dawn anymore i have the freedom and time to discover a new reason and purpose for my daily life.
Let me back up a little w/my perimenopausal history: 3 1/2 years ago, i woke up everyday feeling completely down, sad, then happy, then sad, mostly sad, tearful, worthless, purposeless (is that a word?), and distraught about everything and anything that came my way. I started to notice symptons of perimenopause and i had basically all of them according to Dr. Christine Northrup (the doc that wrote books on menopause) who was on Oprah. You know: zits, depression, hot flashes, out bursts of anger, tears, tears, tears, yelling at my husband (who is the most supportive and kind-hearted person on earth and in heaven), and basically not leaving my home unless i absolutely had to. I'm sure there are more but those were my main ones. She had to mention that it starts 8-13years before going through menopause and i just about drowned in tears. I liked the lady up until that comment!
Oh, and did i mention my puberty acne decided to come visit me and stay. Every single day i would wake up w/2-5 pimples/zits/blemishes on my face. My face was more clear in high school then now. I spent tons of money and time on trying to resolve the problem. I found TCA peel, Salicylic Acid, and Jessner Peel solutions has helped the problem immensely, though i still have my occasional out break. Like today of all days on Superbowl Sunday right between the eyebrows a painful one at that!
Ok, to catch you up to speed its been 3 1/2 years and about 6 months ago, most of my symptoms have vanished, disappeared, gone bye-bye. Yes, i still have my puberty acne breakouts but not as much and once every 3-4 months i just need to stay home and cry. I know the Lord has seen my tears and has heard my cries. I am thankful to Him for healing me more and more and each and every day.
Well, that is my perimenopausal history in a nutshell. I felt it was important to explain my blog title and let you know a little about me.
My insight today is that i must continue to practice patience not only w/myself, but also w/others!
What is your insight today?
