There is a LIGHT if you only have Faith! This disease has taught me many things about life. First of all I will never take my blessings for granted. As I reflect back on my life before MD, I rarely thanked God for all the things he had blessed me with. Now I realize how wonderful He was and still is to me. The next thing I have learned is; God has been there the whole time and only wanted me to reach out to Him. I now talk to him every morning. He is the light that has been leading the way. Many times we think we have faith and we want to have faith, but it takes constant work. The past two weeks, required me to put my Faith in God trusting in his word when traveling to visit my mother. What an amazing feeling it is knowing he was with me. No one is stronger than God; no one! His amazing grace helped me get through each day as I learned to stop fearing. I hugged my mother, nieces, nephews, sisters, brother, and two of my grandchildren. Thank you my amazing Lord. It was a new light in my life. I am writing this to encourage each person who is overcoming this disease to keep the faith, look for your light. It is there but requires faith! I am now at 95% and will never give up. The road has been difficult, lonely, and confusing. But hope, faith, and looking for the light in our Savior is the way back. We have the protocol, the community, and the Lord. It can be done! "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, and to know the love of Christ, which surpasses knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God" Ephesians 3:17-19 In Christ Love, Laura | |||

That is a great verse, Laura. Thank you for sharing it and for your kind encouragement. I like the analogy. It is a good thing that God doesn't have any trouble seeing in storms. We can trust in Him with all of our heart, as the verse says. I look forward to seeing that beautiful rainbow. Cheryl Psalm 139:11-12 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day,for darkness is as light to you. | |||

Cheryl, You are right about getting caught up in every day life. We all have something to give thanks to God for. Although, as we overcome this disease there are times when we can not see the "light". I heard a wonderfully put analogy of life: we are either facing a storm, in the middle of the storm, or we are on our way out of the storm. As you know at the end of storms we see the "light" and sometimes we even see a beautiful rainbow. As you work through the path of the storm with this disease, know you have a protocol that works and a God that cares. Keep the faith and do not give up hope. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding; in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths" Proverbs 3:5-6 In Christ Love, Laura | |||
