Hi Sheila!
When I was a little girl (5 I think) I was being treated for Rheumatic Fever and had been in bed & not allowed to walk for 5 months. I just couldn't get well and regain any energy. Eventually, I was taken to another city and re-diagnosed, but the inbetween time is what made it all work for me.
My grandmother came and stayed for a couple of weeks and she fed my mind. She told me Bible stories and put my mind and heart in peace. I know I was young, but I still today find that my mind leads the way to everywhere good that I go. I don't know who does that for you, but maybe it's time to call in some chips!
As my mind found comfort, my body followed and healing began.
Lots of good thoughts and love, ma
