For those who don't know, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease two years ago. Last May after a miscarriage, I began a downward spiral with flare ups and other issues relating to my disease. So often during those days, I would cry out to God and ask for immediate relief. A year later, though physically doing better, I am still battling my Crohn's Disease. After two surgeries earlier this year, I was put on another medicine that will hopefully carry me without any more needs for surgery. Today, I had a visit with my GI doctor. Though encouraged, I was reminded that there is no cure for my disease and that I would continue to battle it.
All this said, I have been really encouraged by a little book entitled, The Red Sea Rules. God always has our good in mind, even good with my disease. Instead of asking why me, He wants me to ask how can I bring Him glory through this situation. I can't tell you how real God has been to me over the last year. Would I have chosen it? NO. Has God used it? ABSOLUTELY!
God has been so faithful to our family. Our journey this year has been hard but God is good and He redemns and brings beauty from our ashes. Thank you Father!
