Those of us with a chronic illness know only too well, that illness only makes life busier, adding to that list of things that never seems to get done.
So why bother blogging? Surely, I could spend my limited energy doing other things.
Three reasons:
1. Life is hard. Life with fibromyalgia (or any chronic illness, for that matter) is hard.
2. God comforts us during our times of struggle, not just for our benefit, but so that others may be comforted through us as well.
3. Since I was diagnosed last year, I have been searching, through Google, Amazon, Ebay, Support Forums and pretty much any other source I could get some hands on, for advice on what day-to-day living with God looks like for those of us who are chronically ill. How can we pray while in pain? How can we serve? etc. What I found was plenty of calls to have more faith to be healed, to persevere by acting as though we are not chronically ill & plenty of "I don't know. I've never thought about it." God has been very faithful to me through these years. He has helped me with some of these questions. I would like to share some of these answers as well as other questions I struggle with in hopes that some one out there might find them helpful.
I'm no expert on faith or fibromyalgia and I don't pretend to be. But it is my prayer and hope that God would use these reflections and thoughts to encourage you in your struggles & help you remember that you are not alone. Definitely not alone.
Love always. :)
