What a Difference a Year Makes

I have been struggling with writing about my illness for many months. I have felt led from God for some time to share my thoughts on it, but not being a strong writer, time, etc. has kept me from it. Now I am in a place that if I don't write it down soon I am going to forget the details of it, the miracle of God's hand in it all, the incredible sacrifices my family and friends made for the months I was wheel chair bound, and just the awe that came from being so very sick to being healed completely.
This is my story of my bought with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, or CIPD. It is an extremely rare autoimmune nerve disorder that basically left me paralyzed. Last July was probably the lowest point of my life. I had been sick for almost two months but no doctor had been able to properly diagnosis me yet. I'm choosing to look back on those times now for myself and for  my kids. I know we will all need to remember that life can be so very hard at times but God is always with you and will heal our hurts in HIS time.

God has not only healed my body but my mind as well. I was a chronic worrier and control freak prior to my sickness. I'm not saying that I am completely free of those struggles but I am a lot better. I have no idea what my future holds, I know that a relapse will probably be in it. But I cling to the hope that only God can give.

" She is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future. "

Proverbs 31:25
