My body does not cooperate with me either, not to mention the chronic pain. But it has strengthened my relationship with God in ways that would have never happened otherwise so I am oh-so-thankful. Thank you for sharing. I pray they figure out your diagnosis soon; waiting to hear can be the hardest part.

I guarantee you there are people who are like you and me, people who are too afraid to share what they are really thinking. When you are ready, I have no doubt God will use your story to give hope to others in need! That's how He rolls :)The Backyard Missionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302927670453978583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654083421722489368.post-81105672739879774332017-11-26T18:02:22.363-08:002017-11-26T18:02:22.363-08:00Wow!

That is really helpful for someone who has been through a similar ordeal and argued and argued with God that the "details" need not be published. What you said about downplaying our testimony...well that really hit hard. Maybe, just maybe, there are more like me and you?? Lol, one day I'll write and hit publish on that post.
