Hello, friend! Welcome!
But then, God interrupted those thoughts and reminded me of my main mission- to bring Him glory. It was time to give Him the pen. So I re-created the blog to fit what God was prompting me–that He is the Author no matter the mess. He didn’t create the mess and He would never call some of the trials you or I endured good. Chronic illness that lays you up in bed for years in your twenties, limits your mobility drastically and causes sometimes visible symptoms is not good. But God can and will bring good out of messes like my own and redeem our messy stories. I know anytime I visit a blog, I like to get to know their vision, so you can see ours here, more about me here and our start here page to see some of our favorite articles.

Redefining Strength When You Battle Chronic Illness
When you battle chronic illness, strength can take on a different form. The meaning to me no longer connotes a Xena or Hercules statuesque frame. Throw out the nunchucks, throwing stars, and pointy javelins. ...
