Being an endometriosis warrior I realized how important it is to have a plan to deal with my persistent and painful symptoms that gladly come every month without hesitation. Staying in bed wearing sweats has become my number one go-to and my endometriosis bloating does not seem to mind at all.
Pain pills never worked for me, before taking ORILISSA®, so I had to find alternatives to help ease the monthly pain.
Getting ahead and being prepared has helped me tremendously. And I feel it is important for me to share the go-to products that help me deal with my symptoms.

It is important to be able to talk openly about your mental health without feeling judged. It is your truth and speaking about it opens the door for healing. Having the right support and encouragement from family, friends, counselors, pastors, and etc. can tremendously help as well.
Growing Up
Since I was 5-years-old I have suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts. Being such a young age I never knew that my sadness had a name. I always felt different from my siblings; who are outgoing and energetic, and it was always voiced that I needed to be happier and not isolated.

the love that died on the cross
the love that has changed me entirely
the love that took me from depression to living
the love that never wavers
the love that is indefinite
the love that never breaks or folds under pressure
the love that holds me throughout the night
the love that guides me
the love that is extremely patient
the love that is fun
the love that laughs
the love that is easy-going
the love that will fight for me
the love that will pick me up & stre ..read more

There is nothing better than being able to put on some good Christian music that lifts your spirit and expresses the love you have for Jesus!
When I am feeling down and need a pick me up and/or feel like praising God I can play one of these songs and it immediately becomes a worship concert! I have four different Christian playlists but these are the go-to Christian songs that I blast in the car, in the house, and etc.
I feel that it is important to be able to listen to uplifting music and puts all the focus on our God who deserves all the praise and more! Take time out of your day to pr ..read more

Life isn’t roses and sunshine all of the time; it can be hard and confusing. As children of God, our faith is going to be tested regularly. God wants us to receive what He has to offer us, but with new blessings comes new trials. And the opportunity for God to test our faith, clean out our hearts, and renew our minds. It is easy to say that you have faith in God when things in your life are going great. But when everything appears to be going wrong, can you say that God is still good?
I have gone through seasons that were difficult and I didn’t understand why and how at the time but I reali ..read more

In the Fall of 2016, as I was completing a fifteen-day fast I decided to update my Gospel playlist and found several new artists. One in particular from his authenticity, rawness, and vulnerability, in his music, it felt like he was singing about my life. And I continued to listen to all of his albums.
One day as I went into the kitchen, listening to one of his albums; before I could make it to the refrigerator I heard, in the most calming voice, “Husband, Husband, Husband”.
God spoke to me but I was confused about what He meant by this. I decided to pray and look in the Word to receive ..read more

One of my favorite songs is Comparison Kills by Jonathan McReynolds and it came at the right time in my life. Comparison Kills always reminds me not to compare my journey to others because God has me exactly where I need to be.
You spend all night admiring pictures
They make life look perfect as they should
But you don’t know the picture’s story
And how long it took to make it good
Turning 25-years-old was such a hard thing for me because I was constantly reminded that, based on society’s timeframe, I had still not accomplished enough. Whether I wanted to see it or not, there was alwa ..read more
