friendsWednesday, if you haven't already heard my oh so small towned Leland people, I had a medical procedure done and I was diagnosed with colitis. We are currently waiting on lab results so find out whether I have Ulcerative Colitis, which my older cousin has, or Crohn's Disease. Here's the thing about colitis. It's a chronic condition aka life long. The only known cure of colitis is complete removal of the large intestine...not an option. Plenty of people have it, take medication for it, and live completely normal lives...which I fully intend to do. I have some medications but they can't fully treat me until they know what I have for sure. Prayers are welcome. And don't worry. I'll be fine. I've always been a fighter and I always will be and I've got an awesome support system going here. Matt being amoung the front line of those.
About Matt. Matt is my new boyfriend. We've been together for a little over a week and already he has proven himself to be the best boyfriend I've ever had. When I finally told him what I was spending all this time at the doctor's office for he said he wanted to be with me that night just to make sure that I was ok and he wanted to be with me the next day to make sure I was ok then. He called every chance he got and he was practically by my side through it all. Matt has been the best thing in my life in a long time. If he's going through this with me after only 1 week, I can't begin to fathom where else he'll stand by my side and take my hand in my time of need. I know that God puts people in your life for His own reasons, I believe that Matt is a blessing meant to help me through such a hard time in my life. I do believe I'm falling for him, but it's far too soon to use the L word.
Going through this has also given me a renewed faith in God. I know it seems crazy that I can't get something like this and only love God that much more for it, but it's not. God, and life, puts you through tests and trials and it's only meant to strengthen you. Like I'm going to begin making better living choices, healthier choices. I'm backing off sodas and drinking more water and Gatorade. I'm eating better foods like carrots and celery and I'm going to work out more. This is just my kick in the pants from God.
I'm also prosecuting my first case Tuesday in Teen Court. Wish me luck. That's right. I'm now involved in Teen Court. I'm trying my hand at being an attorney these first few weeks and maybe I'll get lucky and find my niche w/ prosecuting this first off, but if not there's plenty else to try. I need this for college application padding and to help people. It's like giving people a second chance......and me an excuse to buy a new outfit and boots! lol.
Well I'm out. Luv much. Thanks for the prayers!
