I am here-part 2

So am I healed yet from the smell issue? No. But I have learnt to look more for the blessings instead. I went for the scan three weeks ago and it showed nothing. The doc said, there is nothing they can do. Initially I had joined a Google group of people who have this condition-some sort of an internet group therapy. They have this because they say people who have some form of distorted smell tend to get depressed and I actually thought I was headed there. So I joined it for weeks and I realized this was not my portion as a child of God in the first place and so I unsubscribed from the group.

It’s been tough, I can’t tell when my baby has poop, I can’t tell when gas is leaking, perfumes smell strange, i can’t tell when the food is burning or is rotten. Most things smell very bad, but some smell and taste good, at least things are much better now than when I was pregnant. I used to call my boy a Nazarite, because when I was pregnant, I could not take anything that had a preservative or food coloring, it had to be whole and fresh from the garden.

I remember sometime back, a friend visiting me, I had just bathed my baby and she went like, oh! Your baby smells fresh. I smiled back and said nothing because I had no idea of how my baby smells. Today I am grateful, despite all the things I cannot smell and the ones that smell awful, I can see my baby, I can touch my baby, i can kiss those gorgeous cheeks, I can take walks with my family, I can , I can I can , I can do a million things. I may have to keep checking to see if my baby has poo-poo, but all the same I am glad to be here with my family. I have left it all to God i am trusting Him for healing but all in all I know He is with me. I am looking out for blessings – they are more than I can count. 

So when i have that one issue that is driving me up the wall, i have learnt to remember millions of blessings in  my life and in all things, praise Him!

To date i have learnt not to take anything for granted, even when something tastes  and smells good, because occasionally i bumped into things that taste good-though my taste is odd ( it may not be what you are tasting)... i thank God....for it takes nothing short of His power for every part of our body to function.
