My name is Stefanie. I am a 48 year old pastor's wife, mother to two grown children and a bonus daughter and Nona to two grandchildren. My life, recently, has been a hot mess. I have been struggling with perimenopause and most days feel like I am going crazy. I have never felt so out of control when it comes to how my body is feeling. Today the struggle was difficult. I broke down. I couldn't take all the feelings that were swirling in my mind and body. A wonderful co-worker of mine suggested that I find something to do outside of my family, church and job. Something of my own. I thought about taking up a hobby (crocheting sounds extremely intriguing) and still might, but God let me know that it was important to share my faith through these difficult times.
No one tells us how difficult life will become when we get older. No one tells us that when our hormones start changing that we will go completely crazy. I mean, sure we have heard stories, but I guarantee you that I did not believe it until I was wearing those shoes. My body has completely betrayed me in ways I never thought it could, and unfortunately I can't just unfriend it. I am stuck with it. So, now I am taking control and sharing my craziness with anyone who feels the same way and is struggling as I am.
So buckle up. This is going to be a crazy ride. Please excuse all grammatical errors. Trying to get all of my thoughts down is going to lead to mistakes, but that's okay. Just grab your bible and join me on this journey. God bless you!
