Every day my skin now reminds me that something isn't quite right inside my body.
This body that was created to be healthy and function properly has been rebelling against those truths.
I walk in this strange place of symptoms of sickness with no real answers from the medical community.
Some days I fight to make it through my day. Some nights I barely sleep.
My eyes see symptoms of disease on my body. My body feels the symptoms. My ears hear the sickness. My hands touch the sickness.
but my heart… my heart holds onto the faith that has taken route in my spirit, that one day I'll be set free from this disease that has plagued my body.
Though my body fights my faith and my mind laughs at this hope I hold onto, I won't let go.
I hold onto the promises in the Word.
I hold onto the truth of the many healing verses I read daily.
I stand firm most days.
Though occasionally I do waver, swaying back and forth like the branches of a willow tree in the wind.
Swayed by what my eyes see and my body feels.
My children, my faith, my hope always bring me back.
Back to that place of faith and hope and thankfulness for what I do have in my life…and for what I know belongs to me.

You found me on twitter, so I'm new around here. I just wanted to express my sympathy for what you're going through. A few years back I had similar medical "un"diagnoses, but anyway. Glad you found me. You seem like a truly unique spirit. I look forward to reading your blog, and I'll keep some positive thoughts for you.
It's good to 'see' you blogging again. Thank you for letting us into your life a little bit. I am sorry for the frustration and pain and angst that comes from the not knowing. While it doesn't make symptoms go away, and it doesn't make you feel better physically, I am praying that your heart and mind are strengthened by the truth that you were created by a God who knows you inside and out…and loves every bit of you. He knows you at your best and what you call your 'worst'. Know you are prayed for from this side of the country!
