On September 29, 2015, I was in the hospital. I had been there for 24 hours, had two MRIs, an Echocardiogram, and given 13 vials of blood. That evening, a neurologist pulled up an image of my brain on a computer and pointed to some spots. When he was finished, he said, “I think you… Continue reading It’s (almost) been 10 years
The story I'm about to tell you is wild. I don't want to oversell it, but I also don't want you to miss how much our God works in even the smallest details. Also, as always, I am not a doctor. Anything I write on this blog is my experience and should never replace a… Continue reading Welcome back, old friend.
It's been a while. I'm sorry. I've been processing and planning a wedding (my son's) and learning my new job at my old office which brings me so much joy and continuing to work on my mental health and recover from what I went through from 2019-2022. I once heard a Christian leader say that… Continue reading Let’s catch up
“You are glowing.” “It’s so good to see that smile again.” “You just seem like a weight has been lifted off of you.” “I feel like I haven’t seen ‘Nora’ in three years.” “I feel like I got my wife back.” The last two weeks, these are just some of the phrases those closest to… Continue reading Changes
The Winter Solstice is quickly approaching. On December 21, 2021 the sun will be the furthest away from us here in the Northern Hemisphere and we will have the shortest amount of sunlight. Other people refer to it as “the darkest day of the year.” I sat in a doctors office a few weeks ago… Continue reading The Light is Coming
Sorry. It's been a minute. I could fumble through excuses, life being busy, work stress, yada, yada, but let's just start fresh. Hi, I'm Nora. Let's catch up. There is much to share with you all, but let's just start here: We met up with our MS Running Team, Run a Myelin My Shoes, and… Continue reading Well, hello again.
As I was scrolling through Instastories last night, I stopped on this photo my church posted of someone worshiping. My heart swelled and I teared up as I saw this person, lost in worship. Then it hit me. Dude. That’s me. I’m not used to my blonde highlights or seeing myself from that angle. It’s… Continue reading Lost in Worship
I wrote these words on my Facebook page a year ago today, almost a month into the pandemic. Yesterday, I hugged my fully vaccinated sister for the first time in over a year. I hugged my nieces and nephews. We celebrated Easter and things felt more normal than they had felt in a long time.… Continue reading April 5, 2020
This tree in the parking lot of Kroger took my breath away today. I looked like a weirdo taking 1000 pics. I've struggled with how to put this story into words. If you grew up in a house like mine, you learned never to talk about good news because bad news was usually just around… Continue reading Miracle.
I love people. I believe there is still good in this world. I am crazy in-love with Jesus. I want to spend my days helping people, loving people (ALL people), giving to people, and pointing people to Jesus. I want to reach the end of my life, having shared in the sufferings of Christ and… Continue reading Thoughts.
Not Today, MS
