Amen. It’s so easy to lose the joy in life we know as a child, but that’s kingdom stuff.

I don’t know If I said it already but …Great site…keep up the good work. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,

A definite great read….

What an inspired reflection on the texts this week! You have brilliantly managed to tell Esther’s story without getting stuck on the violence of it all. (It really is a fairly gruesome tale – gallows and all!).

Lovely work!

Amy, I’m glad you responded. It is hard to remember those things; often, we’ve heard it enough from other people that we’re so great at calling ourselves lazy and dramatic and demanding and all that crap. And no: you are NOT alone.

LL&L, hugs to you, and thank you for responding, too. It took two years, once I started having really acute symptoms, for me to be diagnosed. It took hard work, lots of research, and learning to advocate with myself and yes, actually debate with doctors. It sucks that we who are ill are the ones who have to do this, though. I’m glad you could relate to my post, though I know what you mean. We don’t want to see anyone else suffer, but at the same time, it is so good to know we have companions on our journey.

Prayers to you both,
Sr. Hedwyg

Wow! This was powerful.

I have been feeling ill for the past 5+ years and it is getting worse, but I have no real diagnoses. In the process of getting treated and tested my hubby lost his client and we lost out medical insurance. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself because it seems like most people think I’m making excuses to be lazy, but for most of my life I was a workaholic and was very active person.

I almost feel bad for saying that I can relate but it is nice to know that I’m not alone.

Thank you for posting this. I have had a difficult day feeling like I cannot get my friends, family or doctors to understand what I am going through – but I read this and I remember – I am NOT a drama queen! I am NOT demanding and unreasonable. I am NOT lazy and irresponsible. I’m just sick. That’s all. Thank you again. You made me feel like I am not alone.
