Lessons I’m Learning from Sickness

  I have One constant in my life.  Through the valleys, the mountain tops and in the dessert...He is with me.  For the record, I have a super, awesome hubby that is truly a support.  I have dear friends and family who encourage my heart and pray for me.  It's not that I'm alone.  God is faithful to me in my darkest times.  In fact, at my darkest time, dead in my own sin..He redeemed me.  I had nothing to give Him but dirty, filthy rags and He loved me. There are moments in this journey that have been hard.  I've cried...a lot.  I've prayed and asked God for strength and perseverance. This past 15 months has been like playing hide and seek.  Hunting for what might be wrong and coming up empty to move on and try the next thing.  I feel like I am finally at a place where  I can find some answers.  I've not seen any huge strides in feeling better, but I have some hope in the protocol that I'm following with my doctor. This is one thing I am sure of.... ryleIf it takes this season of sickness to draw me ever closer to my Beloved Savior..let it be.  I long for good health and to feel like "me" again, but I long even more to draw nearer to Christ.  That is the prayer of my heart. If this makes no sense to you, please email me.  I'd love to talk to you about the Hope you can have in Christ.  More than sharing a recipe, a quote or a picture...I want to show you Christ.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.  In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."  1 Peter 1:3-7 ESV

    Oh, Jennifer!! How true this is. Our Father is so faithful to us, and He is always, always, there. Even in our wandering, our questions,and our times of desperation, he is so faithful, and is always so gracious in His timing. OH HOW HE LOVES!!! I love your posts, as they always seem to come at a time when I need that gentle reminder. I am praying for you, and I know God is going to give answers, and provide healing in His timing, and in His way. Thank you for being so transparent. Much love to you!!!

    Jen, to this I say; Amen and Amen! As I walk through my journey of illness and disease(including breast cancer) I too saw\see my LORD’s hand in it all. I wouldn’t trade the blessings and insights I have received from Him in these difficult times for anything in this world!
    I have been and will continue to pray for you. Doctors treat, but only God can heal! Mal. 4:2a
