  • Susan you are a warrior in this disease but more than that for God . I thank-you for sharing your journey. God allows our journey for his purpose & for me it was to draw me near to Him closer than ever before! I thank God for each day so it allows me to shine for Him & pave a path for other’s whom are suffering in there own journey’s that living with a chronic illness isn’t a death sentence it’s a wake call to not take one minute of each day for granted to spend it on whom we love & what we love doing & to always shine a light on Hope!

    • I hate that missed seeing this months ago. You said it well. Chronic disease allows us to dig deep into what matters most. Definitely a wake up call… or perhaps a call to lean ever more on the arms that hold us fast. Some days I wonder if we weren’t created to simply be an army of prayer warriors. Shine on, girl!

  • Susan, thank you for sharing your story. I am so inspired by how with every trial you continue to press on and fight! It is such a blessing to see how thankful you are for His provision and what a trust you have in Him!

    • Cindie, My first husband used to say something like, “Peter gets the real credit for stepping out of sailing ship. Our ship is sinking. If we don’t step out in faith, we’ll drown.” So, it’s stand in faith or give in. And Jesus has done too much for me to give in. Blessings to you!

  • Inspiring story. Glad I read it.

  • Susan, you are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story! Continue to be a prisoner of hope! God is truly able to heal you and your son! Continue to “don’t shrink back!”
