When God Has Mercy on Your Wrong Guesses

"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."   --- Psalm 16:11

(Hoped God wouldn't ask me to share this, but He said it could help people. So here you go.)

Oh for Pete's sake!

I'd treated myself for estrogen dominance when actually mine was the opposite problem. (Some symptoms are cross-overs, so hey. Mistakes were made.)  ツ

Besides, I felt fine. Was eating wiser. More consistently taking vitamins.

Well, I'd followed the online natural help for lowering estrogen (and ridding oneself of polyps) so thoroughly, that by Tuesday night I'd become an estrogen-less zombie. Depleted. (Don't ask. Oh dear.)

But wow. Exactly when I needed this course correction (exactly! Later could've landed me in a hospital bed), God led me to the correct website, diagnosis, and information. 

Then immediately, before retiring to bed, I ate plain Greek yogurt and cheese. For breakfast I had bacon and eggs. Cocoa with more milk than water. A hamburger for lunch. Two dates for iron.

And oh my goodness. In less than 24 hours, 95% of my problem (again, don't ask) disappeared. Was gone! 

For me, this is a miracle from God. Two nights earlier at Facebook, I'd asked for prayer and I believe they helped lead me to this course correction. This healing miracle.

And for the rest of my life may I always remember this incredible joy of gratitude coursing through my veins. May I never release it, but rather, splash around inside during all my thousands of remaining hours.

Remember this?

My first note: the wonderful CW series, Superman and Lois, wasn't over afterall! A 4th (and final) season was added. Wow. We'd kinda given-up waiting (tsk tsk).

We binge-watched (via Max) the final 10 episodes--and oh my! Those last 9 minutes. Perhaps the best series ending (finale), ever. 

In fact, I'll share a piece with you. Doesn't matter if you want to later watch the series or if you plan never to. This voice-over epilogue was incredible family-wise, spiritual-wise and otherwise.

Again, it's the epilogue, so it was about what came after the series officially ended. So no real spoilers, imo.

If you have 9 minutes, please watch both. If you only have 5 minutes, watch the second one.  ツ

The first 4 minutes.

The second 5 minutes.

"I came to this world, alone. But when I left it, I had so much--and it was all because of love. It's the thing that makes Life worth living. Do everything you can to find love. To get it, to hold onto it. Because Life? It goes by so fast."

--from Superman and Lois

And why did it require some weeks before I came to the correct health diagnosis? I'll answer that with this:
