A friend of mine sent me this: http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=29&m=992263. It's so nice to know that there are people out there just like you, who understands the things you're going through, and who believes in the things you do. God never intends on us to be alone. Instead, He brings people into our lives to reveal His blessings in different ways. With Christ, Hope is never lost, and Love abounds. Healing IS coming, in Jesus' name!
The link is a forum for people with lupus seeking help or seeking TO help. The complaints of "Halfcrazy" are so relative to myself, in addition to the acne and breakouts and alopecia (hair loss). This is my first time reading about someone's experience, and seeing how their faith is carrying her through it. Although I've experienced all sorts of glorified healing in church, for some reason, there's still a yearning to see lupus, SPECIFICALLY, be healed. I've seen cancer, chronic pain, blindness and deafness all been healed in Jesus' name, but where is lupus? I would not say that this discourages my faith, but it sure does challenge it. It makes me want to fight more... not just for healing, but for more hope and a stronger faith in WHO my God really is.
The reality of my situation has been crashing down on me lately. The enemy has been finding all kinds of ways to use these physical changes against me. Unflattering photos have been popping up here and there, comments have been made (of course, with no harmful intent, but more so out of friendly love), and sudden changes in my lifestyle I can't help but notice are surrounding me. I can cry and whine all I want, but at the end of the day, I must know who my God is, and remember that His plan for me is greater. More of Him, less of me. He reminded me of this in the car on the way to work this morning. I am encouraged.
Jehovah Rophe, You are my God!
