Faith and Multiple Sclerosis




 what i'm drinking tonight.


wow, y'all.
{we lived in Dallas for 3 years - 
I can still use that word, right?}.

even though I love to write,
i am struggling to find the adequate words tonight.

i have been humbled and just really touched by your love for me.
i've gotten so, so, so many sweet, touching, supportive emails, 
facebook messages,
comments,
over the past several days.

 there are just not words to express it adequately,
but I'll say it:

thank-you.
it's awesome to see the body of Christ at work -
this is what this life is all about, anyway, right?
bearing each other's burdens, 
sharpening each other,
lifting each other up to the throne of grace -
encouraging each other to walk in faith.

Thank-you for sharing the beginning of this 
{possible} multiple sclerosis journey with me.

thank-you for taking time to write me,
{which, if I haven't replied yet, i will.
kinda busy hosting my sweet Bible study girls for dinner,
and, ya know, playing with two little kids who are, well, time-consuming.}

but, truly, thank-you for praying.
We believe our God is the Great Physician,
and that the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

so, whatever lies before me,
multiple sclerosis or not,
something worse or not,
we will choose to say
Blessed be the Name of the Lord.


it's a bit therapeutic for me to write out how i'm feeling and what's going on in my life,
and if, somehow, in some way, part of my journey can encourage 
you to run to the cross, to Cling to the cross for your own life,
then i will keep writing. 

hebrews 11:8 says
...by faith, Abraham, 
when called to go to a place, 
obeyed and went, 
even though he did not know where he was going...

The Lord may be calling me to go on a health journey 
that I will not know where it leads.

thank-you for joining me for the journey, 
whatever it may be.

may I have faith like Abraham.
May *you* have faith like Abraham


----
...through faith [they} were made strong out of weakness...
Hebrews 11:34
