well first of all, thanks to everyone who supported me during tx. I really do hope we all come out of this alive and happier for isn't that the goal? I know what its like to suffer on tx and I also know there are worse things like cancer or never being able to walk or worst of all, not being able to appreciate anything good in life. This tx makes you forget all the good and so it takes work and some very good friends to help remind you. I haven't wanted to come back to daily strength since my tx ended as it was a source of strength during a really hard time in my life and yet it reminds me of the pain that I just recently got free of. But I couldn't get you guys out of my mind for long. I just want to say to those who are still in it and feeling crazy and alone, someone else has been there too and is there where you are. It does get better, but it takes what feels like an eternity to get there and it is accomplished one breath at a time. It doesn't seem to go fast enough. Don't listen to your mind on this stuff, it lies to you, that is what I found. You are putting poison into your body to kill the virus so what do you think you're gonna feel like? try not to do what I did and expect to feel better everyday and be disappointed that I didn't. It humbles you! Not many of us like that! You will survive this whatever the outcome, but there is one who can help you through the darkest times. His name is Jesus. He saves and redeems and comforts. He is life itself and he has all power! May you find him in your darkest times on your knees and weeping. That is what happend to me. He is there, if you cry out he will here and comfort you in your distress. This is for those who are desperate and have turned everywhere else thay can think of and have found no release. In this place with Jesus you will be safe. You will have the pain still, but you will be held in love and that will see you through. You can trust that, believe that and hold strong to that. Jesus is my daily strength and my prayer and hope is that you will let him be yours too.

" I don't mean to offend anyone and yet it seems we live in a time where so many people get offended easily, especially when it comes to the name jesus. I need the freedom and respect to share my belief just as much as the next person. So yes, we will try and respect eachother. My message was not meant to force anything, I just simply wanted to share what has happend for me. But this is not a place for any debates and that I do not want. All the best to you too. And to all my fellow travels...be more than well I pray. "

" i choose to call it the higher power. while on tx, i reached for the higher power. i asked for strength and faith so that i could make it just one more day. i could feel it inside me. the feeling was undeniable. it is what it is. "

" just so no one misunderstands, when I said your so right,I meant your post. I think it is ok to believe in god and not be afraid to say it. If some one disagrees thats ok too but you should be able to say you believe in God without appology If you dont be;ive in god no one holds it against you but dont hold it against us for believeing and speaking out.

" if a person does not believe in GOD or in a power much greater than we are, i feel sad for them. GOD is running my ship, and when i forget who is running the ship, things seem to get screwed up. i don`t know what or who GOD is, i only believe that he/she/it has awesome power and if you get plugged in, good things come to pass. i absolutely could not have finished tx without that power. i will never forget the day when i was on the floor, so sick and tired i thought i would die. all i could do is hold up my hand and say "take me". and he did.

" I think having a spiritual belief, while on this tx, is a life saver. My DH, makes prayer ties for me on shot day. It's a NATIVE AMERICAN thing. I choose to pray for strength. I think it's great how we all have the freedom to choose our own beliefs or to not to believe. Good luck to you LIghtseeker!!! "

" I'm glad you came back lightseeker. We just celebrated the 4th of July.
I see you wrote your topic on the 4th. Well, honey it's all about freedom. Freedom to say what you feel when you feel it.

In the spirit of love,
BW "
