I have had a rare disease since childhood. Juvenile Dermatomyositis is a 3-in-a-million disease that affects primarily the skin and muscle tissues of the body. I've always had a bit of a hard time opening up about my disease, but I know that in order to increase understanding I have to take the step and be vunerable. So this is a true story about life with a chronic and invisible illness....
Count it ALL joy
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.James 1:2-4 (NKJV)

I just adore this quote:
"There are plenty of fish in the sea. But really, there's not. It's not just our imaginations. It would be great if decent men were as plentiful as jumping salmon in a rushing river, but they aren't. For every Mr. Darcy there are a hundred Mr. Wickhams. Or in more contempory terms, for every Colin Firth, there are several thousand Hugh Grants. The odds are against us. But what can I say--I'm a romantic, and I can't abandon the fantasy of Prince Charming altogether. What girl with a heart can? I mean, I'm not asking to feed the five thousand; I just want one good fish!" --Morgan Milliard, character in the book "A Girl's Best Friend" by Kristin Billerbeck

*Sweet Nothings*
This is a really neat forward I recieved awhile ago. Thought I would share.
*Nothing will ever happen to me that God does not already know about.
Psalm 139:1-4
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
*Nothing will ever happen to me that is a mistake. Psalm 139: 4,16
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
*Nothing will ever happen to me that I cannot handle by God's power and grace.
2 Corinthians 12: 9-10
9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
*Nothing will ever happen to me that will not eventually be used by God for some good purpose in my life.
Romans 8: 28
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
*Nothing will ever happen to me without God's presence.
Matthew 28:20
20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
*Nothing will ever seperate me from God's love. Romans 8:38-39
38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
