Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Hi, all. My heart has been quite burdened for the people of this group lately. It's always so exciting to hear good news, but it seems like we hear more bad than anything. I am on my second dose of pain meds today, as the back pain is getting intense. I am at work, so that makes it much harder to deal. I'm in a cloud right now. I pray for this group every night now, as I feel such a strong urge for each of you to have relief from this disease. I started looking at the pictures posted, and it just hurt me so that there are young children that must suffer from this! God bless the parents who must care for these babies! I got my information packet from Ann Marie yesterday, and, as I began to read through the endless stats, etc., I ran upon the morbidity rate and causes. I literally got sick to my stomach - and I was feeling fine before. I had to put it down and leave it alone. I understand that there is always a chance of problems occurring, but it just really hit home yesterday. I get so scared of what my future holds - but, I always stop and remember that I have God in my life, and, if He chooses for me to live this way, it is for a reason. I think it's the idea of my children never knowing a healthy and happy Mommy that gets to me the most! I'm really tyring to work on my faith right now. I was telling the associate pastor at my church that my memories of all the pain and suffering that I have gone through keeps me from believing that I can be healed - either by God's hands or through those of a surgeon. He said that my mind is my battlefield. I have been reading healing scriptures in order to try to fight the negative thoughts and memories away. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I just wanted to check in with all, and say that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all, and I pray for brighter days for each of you. in KY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Hi ; How sweet of you to hold all of us here at PAI in your thoughts and prayers! I understand what you're feeling. My faith has wavered on and off through-out my 7 yr ordeal. But I know in my heart that the Lord is my Saviour and that without him I would not be here today! I have played with death so many times in the last yr or 2 that I know that the Lord has some major plans in the works for me! (I just hope I can muster up the strength to do the deed!) I have friends from another faith than mine and they tell me that they believe that pain & sickness is God's revenge for us sinning. I do NOT believe that I am being punished in any way. I believe that I am to learn from this experience and possibly to help others while doing so. I also believe that everything happens for a reason and that nothing is an accident. We are where we are supposed to be. Just like the night 2 mos ago when I stumbled onto this wonderful site! I never knew it existed! And everyone here at PAI is such a God send to me! I thank the Lord every day for them! Hang in there sweetie! We're all pulling for you and praying for you also! God's Blessings to you!
