Rest Ministries Chronic Illness Video
This is a broken, and fallen world. Because of that it's no wonder this world is so full of pain in so many ways. Regardless of my faith, my genes, lab results, and symptoms say I will and do deal with chronic pain. So, not using faith as a crutch, but as a frame of reference for what is ultimately true, I hope that a light can shine through me and my suffering. I hope God can use me to help others see that yes, this world is painful, but that's why I want Him to give hope to me and through me. Someday this world will end, and so will my suffering. Right now it seems like a long ways off, but when that day comes, and all time after, it will then seem like a fraction of a second. I have to believe this to be true.
If I focused my prayers on wishing this all away I'd miss the mark, there is something greater than this world. And that message needs to be said. This suffering is only as temporary as this life, so why not live my life the best I can, put my hope in Christ and trust that when Kingdom Comes, I'll have a new life, with a new hope and a higher purpose.
As someone who lives day in and day out with chronic pain and illness I know all too well the loneliness this produces, this place is a refuge and a support. I truly see God shine through this site.
Watch the video to learn more about the site, and to anyone else with chronic pain, illness, or invisible illness, I really recommend this site.
IN other news, I'll have my MRI scans done at 3:30 on Wednesday.
