Episode 022 - Strength

Have you found a time when things were tough, and you had to find the strength to keep going? Rising from the ashes is how many with chronic disease can feel. Don’t feel alone, we all have our moments, our insecurities can give rise to the fear of failing. Just keep going, one foot in front of the other.

God sent me a sign on a day when I felt weak and very alone. He let me know I was not alone, He is always with me and will give me strength. I share my story of a miraculous sign that let me know to have courage and gave me strength.

My Near Death Experience

Two weeks in ICU and another week in “step down” before I was released to start over at home. I had to learn to walk again, learn to survive despite the “odds”, and be a living testament of God’s grace and the miracle of my life.

The message that I received was one of God’s agape love. God is love. He will know us by our love for one another. Despite my weak body I never felt so incredibly alive and so full of the love I had experienced, my cup runneth over.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

John 13:35 NIV

Faith and Hope

Living for over six decades with these chronic issues that doctors seemed to know little or nothing about often left me feeling defeated and with little hope. I found my courage and my strength through my faith. I found these daily devotionals by Sara such encouraging words that I hope reach out to you too, wherever you are and whatever you’re going through.
