About Me
- Molly Stroud
- I am a 34 year old wife to Joel and mom to four sweet kids. Anna-13, Julia-11, Olivia-9, and Will-7. I lived a fairy tale life until the summer of 2008. My health came crashing down around me, and for the next three years I endured mountains of complications due to a hysterectomy. I've lost my sanity and am now a diagnosed manic depressive.. aka "Bipolar". I hope in sharing my experiences that I may encourage others not to lose hope... and to remind them that sanity is overrated.

We need your prayers right now!
I am having health issues and we aren't sure how to resolve them. I suffer from migraine headaches, and cysts that grow on my right ovary. I lost my left ovary to the same problem last year. I am currently taking medication for the cyst, but it appears that it hasn't helped. The "hysterectomy talk" is coming soon, I fear. The whole thing is very nerve-wracking because I don't want to live in pain, but I want to avoid all the nasty side effects of going through instant menopause. I am praying for my obgyn to be knowledgeable and willing to check into bioidentical hormone therapy.
My mom has long believed that my migraines are related to my hormones, so I'm hoping to kill two birds with one stone, here. My health is really affecting my life as a wife and mother. Sometimes it is very discouraging
since it's been going on since May.
Thanks for listening!
My prayer is to be well enough to go to Haiti in January. I firmly believe that the Lord paved the way for us to go, and so now it's up to me to stand firm in my faith that He'll answer my health concerns.

Oh, I know He will Molly! Isn't it great to know that we serve such a powerful and gracious God?!? I will definitely be praying that this will all be resolved quickly, 'cause when Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! Haha! Love you!!!
Hey Molly! I loved scrolling through your blog and catching a glimpse of your family! You have such beautiful kids and 1 huge dog! I think it could devour our little fuzzy Bichon in one gulp:) And I don't think you have aged one bit since college!
It is so exciting to hear you will be heading to Haiti soon! What an incredible opportunity. I will be praying for you both, now and on your trip. And I will also be praying about your medical needs right now.
Just like Kelly said, it's great to know we have such a powerful God. And to know that even though we only get to see a small part of the big picture, He sees it all and is in full control of it.
This is one of my favorite verses to remember Isaiah 40:11, "He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart;" I love the thought of knowing we are held in His arms and are never far from His heart. Again, you are in my prayers.
