You don't have to have faith to find out there is a way we were intended to live. You just have to live it to know it's true.<br /><br />As for your sister, now I feel bad for being so mean to my sister. Ok, I don't really but your sister does put me to shame.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000815937078399278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610971479449338872.post-41141511402519374892011-03-11T02:05:09.605-08:002011-03-11T02:05:09.605-08:00Hi...my name is Kim and I am a friend of your cous...Hi...my name is Kim and I am a friend of your cousin John here in california...<br />his wife referred your blog to me since I have been diagnosed with MS - 2 years ago this past January. Reading what you have written so far has caused me to relive many of the weird, strange, scary and even some funny things that have happened to me and to my family as a result of this diagnosis. I am also a Mormon and would love to talk or email with you more sometime...but only if you feel up to it.<br /><br />so happy you are doing well...are you still on Avonex? I look forward to the rest of your sweet story....<br /><br />be well!!<br />KimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628579151359642198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610971479449338872.post-39148673382964969712011-03-10T17:03:15.676-08:002011-03-10T17:03:15.676-08:00I love you, Denalee-lee! ~CamielleI love you, Denalee-lee! ~CamielleStarrfyrrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892644371432901399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610971479449338872.post-53864265272907102932011-03-10T17:02:25.470-08:002011-03-10T17:02:25.470-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Starrfyrrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892644371432901399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610971479449338872.post-81570413812982485132011-03-10T15:23:29.113-08:002011-03-10T15:23:29.113-08:00I missed the beginning of the story so now I will ...I missed the beginning of the story so now I will back peddle.

May God continue to bless your family with strength and power to keep going on.<br />I know prayers work. I also know God engineers all of our circumstances and allows us to go through trials (& sickness) so we can draw close to Him. We live in a fallen world, it will not be perfect here on earth. But, we do as believers have the heavenly hope that our bodies will be new, we won't have sickness or shed tears when we get there. It will be perfect. <br />While we are here we do need to try and take care of ourselves, be good stewards of our bodies...and to be good stewards of all of the blessings HE has given to us. To do all the good we can. But also to know we can never BE good enough, or DO enough good works to make it into heaven on our own. It is only by God's grace that we can do that. When we ask for forgiveness of our sins, and by acknowledging that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Accepting that free gift of salvation, and having a personal relationship with Jesus! I am so thankful to God he made a way of escape for us from sin. And that he loves each of us SO much that he sent his only Son to be the ultimate sacrifice for sin!! <br /><br />Thank you for opening your heart and sharing your story...:) I pray God will continue to encourage you in a mighty way!<br /><br />xoxo GloriaGloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423246756894055585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610971479449338872.post-89654699418907388602011-03-10T11:12:03.683-08:002011-03-10T11:12:03.683-08:00Oh how you have touched me with this comment...I h...Oh how you have touched me with this comment...I have been where you are and when I looked into the faces of my family...I felt sad...I didn't want this disease...but most of all I didn't want my family to have to go through what they did!!!

I often say an illness is just as hard, if not harder on the caregivers than the patient but in this case I see that they were also given wonderful gifts. To step up, to find strength in themselves, to learn that you can move through difficult times and come out the other side. Yes, gifts were given even if it didn't feel like it at the time, they always are I think.jeanette from everton terracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02025486213973874174noreply@blogger.com
