In My Right Mind

Book excerpt: In My Right Mind is a story of a woman's experience living with epilepsy in her childhood and young adult years. Amy had complex partial and grand mal seizures, those seizures that are difficult to control by medication. Amy went on to college to pursue a teaching degree, although she continued to have seizures on a regular basis. She faced physical, emotional, and spiritual trials while trying to keep up with the academic requirements of her degree program. Then in her junior year of college, God opened doors for her to put her epilepsy behind her and gain a better quality of life. Amy had the opportunity to find out if she was a candidate for brain surgery. After undergoing medical tests, she was informed that she had the most operable type of epilepsy. The decision to have brain surgery was up to her. Amy writes from her heart as she shares how God worked in her life and brought her to where she is today. Amy has three college degrees and is a special-education teacher. As you read her story, you will be inspired by her faith in God and determination to overcome her obstacles. She brings to light the truth of God's promise that He will never leave us or forsake us.
