In this journey of life I have learned so many positive things about life itself. Although, the roads have been rocky and I have come to some dead ends. It is my faith and love of life itself that has made this journey outstanding. One might think to be sick is a bad thing yet I consider it a challenge, that is not so bad, when you adjust and learn that life is what you make it regardless of how you feel. It comes with having a positive attitude on your bad days and enjoying life to its fullest when God blesses you with feeling better and or a good day or even a moment in the time frame of your life.
Life is not what we have, it is who we are. Happiness is a choice and I choose it. Endurance is what builds our characters and shapes our beings into a better human being. Faith is hope not seen. Life is short and eternal life is forever. Laughter is "the best medicine" and it is good for the soul.
Learning how to be thankful for who you are and were you are is a gift. It breaks down the barriers of your illness and you wake up and fill alive. Tommorrow is not here yet, today is right before your eyes. Noone chooses to be sick. It can either become a burden or an obstacle. Obstacles can be broken down and defeated by taking one day and step at a time.
I have learned no matter what state I am in to be content. The key to a happy life is finding joy in just living. Feeling sorrry for myself would only hurt me. I would be a bad reflection on the people I love. Courage is not something you earn, it is something you have been given. Find it and you will have the ability to perservere through the storms. After the storm comes the sunshine. It lights up the world and feels our hearts with joy.

It is so true that at the deepest valleys there is only One to walk us through, seems that all our friends and even spouses at those times are waiting for us on the other end of the valley, but Jesus remains, His rod to correct us, His staff to protect us, leading us back to green pastures and still waters, bringing His restoration to our souls. However the Lord has asked me to pray for the sick in a dream, I think, but in order to be obedient to that call, I want to pray for your sickness. Lord Jesus I lift up my sister to You, that I may be obedient to Your call for me to pray for the sick. You know her Lord, You know her sickness, and I pray that You touch and heal her body, that You would receive all the honor and glory Lord, and that we would rejoice in Your loving kindness and provision. You know Lord why I just happened to see her account out here with my other friends, how that You are calling me to pray, and she having a sickness, for Your names sake and for Your glory Lord I lift her up and thank You Lord that by Your stripes we are healed both spiritually and physically, in Jesus name, Amen.
