I know from today's post that you are writing - and it sounds like you've got a good idea for that paper. <br /><br />You have expressed so much here. Your mountains have indeed been steep, and it sounds like you have climbed them bravely. (I like the quote from John Wayne that says, "Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.")<br /><br />And I do understand an illness that doesn't really show outwardly, but affects so much of life. It makes it difficult for people to understand the challenges you face on a day to day basis. I personally suffer from very severe intestinal adhesions from previous abdominal surgeries. They cause daily pain, a severely restricted diet (liquids) and there is no cure. More surgery only makes them worse. Lately my bad days far outnumber my good days. And yet, as you say, God stands with me, even on the days when it doesn't seem like He's there.<br /><br />And isn't it amazing when we look back on all the things that seemed so impossible in the midst of our illness, and find they somehow got done? And all we can say is "thank you" for the grace.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221703763145912238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-39209292746229498482010-06-10T23:15:06.357-04:002010-06-10T23:15:06.357-04:00Thank you all for your caring support and prayers...Thank you all for your caring support and prayers. it's a huge blessing.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783056492527420487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-90779750495174172932010-06-10T12:50:35.670-04:002010-06-10T12:50:35.670-04:00first, i will pray for you and the writing of the ...first, i will pray for you and the writing of the paper...<br />and i will pray on from there...<br /><br />i have had a month of pain in my lower back that moves around, but does not leave me. pain is a mean thing. <br /><br />one day at a time, right?<br /><br />it is so wonderful of you to share about this here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-40150780405806567872010-06-10T12:01:28.509-04:002010-06-10T12:01:28.509-04:00That's a difficult situation to be in and my p...That's a difficult situation to be in and my prayers are with you as well.S.
