Hi love

I finally had a decent night's sleep last night. It was wonderful. Since the conventional medicine root has done little to help my sinus infection which I believe is the cause of these intestinal troubles I am working with a woman at church. She retired from being an RN after 20 years but her passion is natural medicine. So she's having me do some things I would definitely call unconventional but they seem to be doing some good. First absolutely no more dairy. That's a painful one. I love dairy. Then to alleviate the sinus congestion I have to use my neti pot of course but last night, and this sounds so weird, she told me to chop up an onion, put half in 1 bread bag and the other half in another bread bag. Put one of them on each foot with a sock then pulled over them and sleep like that. Of course it smells like onions. But I couldn't believe the relief I had. I slept 5 straight hours with no stuffiness. She said alternatively you can use Vicks VapoRub instead of the onion and just keep the onion for really congested moments like when you have a bad cold. Definitely going to opt for that. But can you believe that worked? I was so skeptical. I didn't have any Vicks but I am picking some up tomorrow. Also she has me start using oregano oil sublingually. That stuff is SUPER nasty tasting. But at this point I am ready to try anything that can help. And I like her. She seems very sincere and genuinely seeking after the heart of God. She and I are really hitting it off. And she has such a joy that flows from her. Others in the church think she is weird, but I don't care what anyone else thinks. I like her. A lot. We're going to hang out together Wednesday. Depending on how my tummy is doing we may go walking, get lunch and take in a matinee. I think it's the same old story, she's pretty and confident in who she is in the Lord and I think they are jealous to some degree. She always has something kind and encouraging to say. The one drawback is that sometimes she speaks before thinking. Altthough she doesn't have any malicious intent in what she says. It's other people who do. I tend to gravitate toward people who are unashamed about being themselves and I especially do so when others want to avoid them. We certainly have some curmudgeonly members but maybe some gentle exampling will bring about a willingness to change that on their parts. Anyway I am going to continue striving to do what I believe the Lord wants me to do the way he wants me to do it. I'm going to try anyway. And that includes not letting others attitudes determine my walk with the Lord.
