Member Neuropathy Journey Stories: What's Yours?

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 🤗🙏🙃

@sunnyflower @jimhd @rwinney @jesfactsmon and to all my lovely Neuropathy warriors.....Sunnyflower, Wow!!!! Your writing about God is an inspiration and utterly lovely! Jesus is really how you manage!!!!! I could tell everyone something that will make everyone here think that I am utterly insane, but here goes. I will just share. I am Jewish and firmly believe in God. I believe in all routes to God, no matter how a person gets there. When I am in my most deep pain, I sing prayers in Hebrew, and do not even know what I am singing, but these prayers calm me. Twice in my life, and I am not a crazy person, Jesus came to me, face to face. I swear by it, and I know it was him very clearly. I was in bed, and his face was as large as mine, face to face, and very close. I love Jesus dearly, but I do not exactly know what he is to me. I know he is there for me, for absolute certain. About fifteen years ago, he came and just smiled. I was so stricken, that I had to get counsel from a very dear Christian friend as to what to do about my love for Jesus. Well, he came back about two weeks ago, face to face. I knew it was him. I just sensed it with every cell in my being. I hope that the moderators of this Neuropathy group don't get after me for writing this, but Sunny, I was so touched by your writing that I had to share. Jesus is real. I know it. I am a Jewish woman who adores him. Just thought I would share. Please do not think I am insane. I am not. Love to all of you, Lori Renee
