Just as I opened my Bible to write this blog, I began weeping. I put myself in the place of each of these people; imagining I was one able to touch Him.
This is a very emotional journey for me. My eczema has inhibited me in many ways, most of which effect other people negatively.
I have fought this since January/February of 2013 and it has changed me. I leaned towards natural oils, then went to a steroid cream, then Vaseline, all the while still praying for healing. I am back (although never left, just lessened use) to my YoungLiving oils. I am doing a soak for a week–today is day number four. I put a few tablespoons of bentonite clay (ordered from amazon) in my water with a few drops of lavender, lemongrass, and sometimes peppermint.
The clay is a volcanic material that has a charge like that of a magnet; it draws toxins out.
I’m continuing my journey of healing, knowing all the while that my Creator has the power to cleanse me. What His purpose is for my eczema, I know not, but even so, it is well with my soul.
