Sunny, you are one of the people on Connect who just truly inspires me SO MUCH! I can't tell you how much I look up to you and appreciate your words, your incredible attitude, your (where does it come from?) indomitable spirit. Yes I do know where it come from, you are clearly living in that bubble one can only be in with God Himself at your core. But for us weeny little humans it is still hard to comprehend how that can possibly compensate for the endless and seemingly unendurable suffering you face EVERY DAY. I am a believer, I adore the Lord, and even I have a difficult time, never having walked in your pain-filled shoes , to understand how that works. My gratitude for Him is manifested by the fact of your existence Sunny (if that makes any sense, my attempts to express myself about you and God are starting to turn into gobbledygook). OK, anyway you are wonderful! Hank

To God alone Be The Glory! He alone is Worthy. That He allotted me an extra measure of faith is
beyond my comprehension. Believe it or not, I praise and thank Him for my pain and even for my constant new diagnoses. It's verses like this that keep me going: Psalm 34:1-4
1. "I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 I will glory in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears."
The Lord is not unreasonable, He just wants us to trust Him in our circumstances. I am aware that I constantly focus on my circumstances instead of the One in control of my circumstances and when I shift that focus, it makes a big difference for the better. It's spiritual warfare and if you're in your head a lot like me, it's pretty tough but I always have that way out and can replace the stinkin' thinkin' with the truth of God's word and that is what helps me the most. Also some good worship and praise music works wonders too or any music that you like. When I do a little bit of kitchen work it's usually the Beatles and some spiritual music. Well folks, that's a little more of how I walk through the many fires here on earth in this lifetime that we all walk, limp, waddle and crawl through.
I wish and pray every good thing for each one of you precious people. Thank you so much for your inspiration, encouragement and support. The effort you put in to one another here on Connect is very, very special and very, very necessary! Thank you to Mayo Clinic and all of the volunteers and monitors as well.
Being a part of Connect is an honor! I have very limited time when I feel good enough to read and respond to the posts so I prayed that no one feels I don't care or, left out or offended if I don't respond or if I'm away from the blog for any prolonged periods of time. I think that is probably true for most of us here on connect.
Okay, you can wake up now, the novel is over! LOL! Sunny 🤗🙏🙃
