Offering HOPE through #lyme, #endometriosis and other chronic illnesses
Luke 1:78-79 78 Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.” When we went to do our video greeting, we surprisingly found out that Hallmark discontinued … Continue reading A Christmas Message

When this tissue grows in the … Continue reading Understanding Endometriosis: My 37-Year Journey
If I wrote this post a month ago, my post would have started with "Happy New Year!" In the chronic illness community, are we too far into the year to still say that?

It’s been a while. Things went a bit haywire for my husband and me health-wise, and I have an ongoing issue with my digestive system that has no clear answers right now.

For many, January is a hard month… When many are making New Year's Resolutions, going back to work or school, cleaning and organizing their homes, some of us are fighting to get through the day. Especially those who struggle with depression, anxiety, Lyme disease, unexplained chronic pain, or chronic illness. Is January a difficult month … Continue reading January Can Be Hard
"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said." Matthew 28:6 (NIV) Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the … Continue reading The Resurrection Series, Part III–Hope in the Resurrection & a Reason to Live
