Hi Barbra,

Thank you for your encouraging words. I keep quoting this from Lamentations 3: "I will never forget this awful time as I grieve over my loss. Yet, I still dare to hope when I remember this: the unfailing love of the Lord lasts forever! By His mercies we are kept from complete destruction. Great is His faithfulness!"

God bless you Barbra:)

Hi Lori,

The Lord will hear our prayers and will give you the strength to bear it!
Some day I think the doctors will find a cure! Don't lose hope!

Love,
Barbra

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your prayers:) God has a way of "bringing me back"- He always brings me back! Praise Him!! It's hard to see sometimes-really hard to see sometimes, but His grace IS sufficient.

Thanks for taking time to comment. Love ya sister!

Hi Pamela. Yes, we have different things going on- different trials. Don't ever say "insignificant" though. If you cried it's obvious that it's important to you, and God tells us He delights in every detail of our lives! I love the story of Joseph, there are so many things to learn from him:)

Blessings!!

Hey Lori,

I cried today over something very insignificant compared to your struggle. My 11-year-old son said, "Don't look sad, mommy." I felt bad that my countenance had affected my son. But I really did feel sad and discouraged. Thanks for helping me to focus on Joseph.I know there is still a lot of pride to be "burned" out of me.

Many blessing, Pamela

This brought me to tears as I read and prayed for you dear one. May His comfort, strength and healing touch pour down upon you. May you continue to endure and stand on His word as He pours MORE OF HIS GRACE out upon you.

My heart is with you.

Proverbs 31:25-26 (NIV) She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

The walk we face is not always pleasant, often to us it is hard to endure. Although the situation may be hard we are given the strength to go forward with dignity. The way you have faced your infirmary has provided not only instruction to many but great blessings as well. Because you have been faithful Our father has been glorified. When I was a young man my biggest fear was of being homeless in the streets. During the 20 years that I lived homeless, I not only overcame that fear but brought comfort and support to others in the same situation. God replaced my fear with the spirit of power. Not in overcoming homelessness, but in overcoming the fear of it. The condition is never the problem but the way in which we face it will always be. God’s plan will always have built into it our hope and our future; He said so in His word. I don’t have to tell you to trust Him… you have shown all of us that you do.

With His Love For You,
Matt.

My sweet and dear friend, my heart breaks when I read about how upset and in pain that you are in. I so want to take your pain away from you but for me this is the impossible. Only God can do this. Stay strong my sweet friend. Your faith in God has seen me through many a rough day simply by reading your blog.

In reading your words, a scripture came straight to my mind:

2 Corinthians 12:7-9 (NKJ)
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

It has been on my mind all day. I even used in my latest blog post. But, I believe it was meant for you as well.

I pray God's strength and comfort upon you my friend. Know that you are in my heart and prayers.

I love you so much!

I know exactly how you feel, my sister. Living with chronic illness is a continuous grief cycle...just when we think we have arrived at acceptance, the ride starts all over again.

Praise God that we have His precious wings to hide under during those times of hopelessness and despair.

Praying for you!
