As I write this, I am nearly bedridden with illness. I am staying with family in another state away from my husband while I search for answers to my medical problems (which I will go into more detail later). This video was such a great reminder to me that during my times of struggle, it is so important to have faith, even just a particle, as our Savior Jesus Christ makes up the difference. Don't get me wrong, I have days when I feel that I am losing hope, life is like a roller coaster right now. Some days are good, some days are bad, and some days are really bad. I have been through hardships before and I know from experience that we are not alone in our struggles, Christ is always by our side and he knows exactly what we are feeling and going through, he's been there. At times when we cannot go on, he will carry us through it. But mortal life here on earth is about learning, being perfected and polished, that is why God gives us trials. God knows us, we are his children, he loves us and will never leave us. I just hope I can always remember this, especially during my hardest days.
This blog is meant to be my journal of my life as I am learning to live with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Anxiety, Depression, many food and chemical sensitivities, and other chronic conditions. I hope for this to be helpful to others who may be struggling, that it may give you hope and knowledge that you are not alone. But I'm also writing for awareness of these disabling conditions. I look healthy to those around me, but I am not. It is so difficult sometimes when illness is on the inside and you don't have anything to show for it (such as a cast for a broken leg, a wheelchair, etc). I know many of us go about our daily life trying to hide our struggles and make it look like we are doing good to those around us. I'm here to write my story. It is not finished yet, I'm still searching for answers and solutions. I know I still have mountains to climb, and this is my journey of trying to endure life in faith.
