But it only has me when I allow it to crawl in to the dark places in my brain...and it tries desperately to take over. It is then that I smack myself around and take claim of my brain again and realize the ONLY thing that should ever have a "HOLD" on me is Christ. Sometimes an illness DOES bring you closer to Christ...when you are knocked flat on your back, it's hard not to look up. I don't worry about my MS. I don't worry about calling it mine. It IS mine to deal with. But it ISN'T me. There are times I thank God for having it - it DOES keep me humble and thankful for the littlest of things. Do I wish I didn't have it? Well, yes. But, I am thankful for the insight and empathy that I wouldn't have had I never had MS. Funny thing is (or maybe NOT so funny) is that I remember consoling myself (and my mother) when I finally did get daignosed by telling her, "Well, mom...at least it isn't cancer..." Cancer is like the cussword of illnesses. NO one likes it. It sets people's teeth on edge. And I wish you didn't have it. But I thank God for the insight and tenderness He is giving you through it...<BR/>I am glad you had a wonderful weekend with wonderful friends. You and Steve BOTH needed it.Falling for Ty and Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318751151286807137noreply@blogger.com
