Ask. Seek. Knock.

Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

Have you ever went to walk through a door and had it close right in your face? I have, multiple times. Especially with my Lyme and trying to get the right diagnosis. I’ve learned that when one door closes…you got it…another door opens.

I have had so many doors shut in my face this past year, but I’ve also had many opened. God has opened several doors for me already this year and I am beyond blessed by so many of them. With going to several doctors over the past 10 years you start to go crazy and actually think you are crazy at times. I had 2 doctors tell me I was crazy that my symptoms were all in my head. (I know, insane)

One thing that kept me sane through all of this is prayer. I have prayed and prayed the past 10 years for healing over my body. I felt like I tried everything. I went through moments of anger, hurt, sad, and waves of depression over the years. It is a very weird when you can feel your body declining and there is nothing you can do. Or, the things you are doing don’t work.

With Envita this is a HUGE GIGANTIC open door for me and my health. I’ve run into several people already here in Arizona who have all said the same thing, “You are in a good place now, Envita is going to take care of you, heal you, and make you feel much better.” As someone who spent the last 10 years feeling miserable most of the day this has been amazing news to hear.

So with finding Envita, as I mentioned in an earlier blog, my mom was literally on her knees praying for me and asking God to please open a door realizing the ones that were shut were for a reason. The next morning she found Envita online.

I mean if that isn’t an answer to prayer…expedited.

As Christian’s, God wants His children to talk to Him. To ask, to seek, and to knock. I think, so often we ask, seek sometimes, but hardly ever knock. Why aren’t we knocking? Try it sometime. Knock on God’s door and see what happens.

-Saturday-

Yesterday for some Saturday fun my mom and I went to a local farmers market in Old Town Scottsdale. It was a cute little town that looked exactly like pictures I would see of towns in Arizona. The brown stucco on buildings and houses, cactuses randomly everywhere (and I mean everywhere), mountains next to us, and the only thing missing was the desert in the distance. We walked around for about 3 hours and found so many amazing shops. My mom and I also found 3 vendors who sold gluten free, diary free, and sugar free donuts, chocolate macaroons (my mom loves these, me not so much), and peanut butter cups. I am more of a salty girl but I will say the peanut butter cups were quite tasty. The donuts were a bit sugary for not having any sugar in them.

This place was amazing. They had music playing and even a mini veggie and fruit market. We are definately coming back next Saturday if, I am feeling up to it. After 3 hours of walking around my legs were starting to get numb. This got me thinking of how, even being here in Arizona, my body is still declining and brought my mind back to reality. I’m still stick.

-Sunday-

This morning my mom and I woke up and went to a church Pastor Angie and Pastor Keith told us about. They have friends who are pastors here and so we thought we would check it out…SO good. Everyone was friendly and so welcoming. My mom and I came to Arizona all the way from Pennsylvania not knowing anyone here. Walking into a new church was a little intimidating to me. But, God in his infinite wisdom and knowledge provided yet again a church I could call home during this short time I am here.

Today has been a day of rest as my body knows I need to prepare for this upcoming week.
