Ariane,
Wow. If this post was what you needed, then all I think we can say is that God knew what you needed today and where you needed to be reading. It’s so wonderful to know that God is aware of us individually.
Sorry that you were having one of those days, though!
Michelle

Michelle,
You are wonderful! I woke up this morning struggling with the strength and willpower to face the day. I needed to have that reconfirmation that the Lord is aware of me and that He knows and loves me.

Knowing that I’ve drawn strength in the past from reading inspired words that have been shared by those contributing to this website, I once again found myself here.

Sometimes it is through small and simple ways that we receive the confirmation that God knows and loves each one of us personally. Reading your inspired words today has served as a powerful reminder of Gods love and has given to me additional strength to face the day.

Although I’ve never personally met you, I have benefited from your testimony and strength on many occasions. Thank you for being a light in my life today!

Sistas, jendoop, LeAnn,

Thanks so much for adding your testimonies. And jendoop, your comment about the resurrection made me smile.

Heather, I’m sorry things have been hard for you. It would be nice if we could at least block off birthdays as a day free of hard things! I’m grateful that something here could be a positive in the midst of it all. Thanks for your support and empathy through my hard times.

This was a lovel present for me today. I had great hopes for my day… my mom was coming to take me to lunch for my birthday, my sisters were gathering to have a playdate and bake me brownies, love was pouring to me, and you KNOW we all need that when we are drained, emotionally, physically, spiritually. And then, out of nowhere, the baby started in with the fever and puking thing. And added to all that I’ve been fighting physically lately as well… well, I’ve been hiding and overwhelmed. But a few things have been refilling my soul… and you are one of them. Thank you for having the courage to share with us, those who have this experience and those who do not. I have had friends talk of not having the “luxury” to lie down when they have a “headache.” I knew then that they were not those who could understand the debilitation of migraines, Lyme, the other neurological and physical adventures going on in my family’s life. It was not that they didn’t have their own, valid and important burdens to bear, many of which I could not fully empathize with, but just that they were still at a place where not being able to get out of bed because something hurts was probably thirty or more years down the road for them. Each burden offers it own lessons and opportunities for courage. Thank you for sharing yours with us…

That was a heart felt message. I can relate in many ways. I have had migraines for years and only in the last few years the migraines have decreased. I would say that what you have learned is blessing many woman right now that read the messages you write.
The struggles we have usually end up as blessings in disguise. You do have an awesome husband and great friends that have helped; they are your angels.
My favorite scriptures is proverbs 3:5-6.
Blessings to you!

In my experience this truth is one of the most powerful. If we can let it wash over us it changes everything. Most often when I kneel to pray I need to do it just to feel his love. Our relationship with God is unlike any earthly relationship – so much better, loving, merciful, and celestial.

My heart goes out to you Michelle. You might be one of the first people I seek out on Resurrection Morning. Your joy at a perfected body will be lovely to behold. <3

God has the kindest way of showing us his love and mercy in our darkest hours. At the exact moment we think all is lost that’s when he embraces us and let’s us know that all is not lost, light is around the corner. Thank you for this wonderful post.

Michelle,

Your response also brought to mind something else. Last night I attended a support group for patients pre- and post- transplant. Unfortunately, in the 2 years since my transplant, this was only my 2nd time.

But I learned in many ways my experience was not unique. The anger, the bitterness, the fear. The intense emotions as you ponder the person who has sacrificed for you. All of these are very real and most go through these at one time or another, or even repeatedly.

Some people have smooth sailing health-wise after their transplant. For others, it takes a few years to get stable (that’s the process I’m still in). But there is still a common experience.

I also have started studying grief lately because it is so intertwined with all of the issues I’ve faced in the last few years.

Thank *you* for the example of faith. Yes, I’m still here, but I know I must increase my faith.
