The last few months I have shared some of my health experiences, and I feel as though these experiences have been misconstrued. The main reason for sharing my journey is to provide hope and comfort to all those in need. I do not intend for these blog entries to elicit sorrow or sympathy. Rather, I hope to spread understanding. It is often so hard to understand other's health struggles. I simply share to help those on their own journeys find strength and hope.
When you see a person using a ventilator, I hope you see the life saving device which allows the person to breathe easier. When you see a person using a wheelchair, I hope you see a mobility device which allows a person more freedom to explore the world. When you see a friend or loved one attend church or show up at Bible study, rejoice in the abundant blessing it is for that person to be well enough to leave home.
Every day is a choice--to keep on going forward and to let God's light shine or to give up and hide God's glory. As hard as some days are, I will always continue to keep going, never allowing God's light to grow dim. Some ask, "Why must we suffer?" I never ask this question. Instead, I know God has a plan to use all situations to glorify Him. I hope however He decides to use my life, I will be able to spread hope, love and faith in Him. "...This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified by it" (John 11:4).
