I'm doing better now...

Psalm 145:17-18  "The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made.  The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth."

I went to a counselor a couple of days ago and he taught me this really cool thing...A C T S....
A  is for accept what I have...Crohn's
C  is for choices that I make...do I make the choice of being mad and sad about it or do I want to live my life while I have a life...sometimes I choose the second one
T  is to take action of my choice...
S  (we added on the S...)  is for the Serenity Prayer...God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

It's really, really hard for a ten year old to do.

this was not a good day...

Today I went to the doctor and I almost had to get Remicade.  That gave us a scare.  I don't want it because it is an IV for a couple hours!  ;(  Then, every year the fifth grade goes to Rockin C Ranch.  My teachers go next week and since I just had this flare, I can't swim; since we go next week, I don't think I can do this really fun thing that involves swimming--the blob  ;(  ;(
        Now I think my life is over!!

My Most Encouraging Songs

#1         Stronger by Mandisa.    I like this song cause it talks about when your just hanging by a thread(lyrics to the song) "hold on a little longer He knows it will make you stronger!" Its just really encouraging to me.

#2         While I'm Waiting by John Waller.         Its just so cool it talks about (lyrics) while I'm waitin I will serve you while I'm waitin I will worship! . I will be taking every step in obdeince! I will serve you !while I'm waiting on you Lord! Its really a encouraging to me.

#3        Hold Me Together by Royal Taylor   It talks about well holding yourself together. Like when your falling apart you can pray and say "Can you hold me together?" Its really encouraging me. 

Labor Day

Today was a really good day. It was Labor Day so my moms family got together and at lunch and it was really fun there is 10 grand chrildren,so you never get bored in that house. Tommrow I'm going to the docter :( and I'm a little nervous cause I just had a flare and I just came out of the hospital  so yeah I'm nervous.

Introducing...me

Hi my name is Caroline.  I have Crohn's disease; I was diagnosed at 8 years old.(now I'm 10)  For some of you who have Crohn's, I started this blog to tell you I know how you feel. 
I get more fistulas and abscesses than I get the cramping and diarrhea. I hate having Crohns 'cause I have to take 16 pills a day, my mom drives me crazy, and in the last 3 years I have missed the first week of school 2 times!

You see, I'm the kind of person who loves to run and play and not just to sit around all day. So when I have a flare I have to lay around all day every day until I'm well enough to go to school!!! Thats what I've been doing lately 'cause I have just had a flare! So that is why I have started this blog.

            If  you need some encouragement please commet!:)
