Paulette, thanks for reminding me of where I have been. I do owe the quality of my life to having found this site and the information everyone shares here. Without a doubt it has been a real blessing. In these years my life has changed in so many ways but taking responsibility for my own health was just a start, it has spilled over into many areas of my life as well. You rmail reminded me that encouragement is a little thing to give and we should do it everytime we can because all it cost is a little time.
There were many on at the time I was struggling with many things and hearing the encouragement just made it better. I have met people here that I have never actually met and do consider them more than just friends.
I want to share one thing I have learned some about and that is most of the time fear us not our friend. It is used by not only some people to drive us in the direction they can use us, including medicine and by something spoiritual within all of us that will drive us away from where we actually can go to be healed. These years has taught me to move towards what I fear and that is in many cases very difficult as I move from comfort zone to a place that it is verry uncomfortable. When I learned to trust that there is a God who desires much more for us than we can even imagine and will show us the way through our fears and on to a place of peace and joy that is not easy to express in words as it is so beyond what we can imagine.
I could write a book but will keep it short, just trust that if you can face fears, you will soon find out that the only real danger was not in going through it but trying to escape it.
God bless you all,
Charles Hilton
