Hi Wayne, Romans definitely has it right about creation groaning....lol I sure do lots of that, but God is enough even though at times I feel I am standing on the edge! Life is hard, but God is good. He is so faithful and true and despite the pain I have to remember everyday is a gift of God. The pain wants to steal my joy and focus, but I also know that there is a purpose for this pain. I have certainly gained much compassion for those suffering and have tried to be an encouragement to others hurting. It's amazing how soothing it can be when you meet up with a fellow sufferer because it helps you know you are not alone and they "get it" when others really don't have a clue as to what you are going through. Thanks so much for lifting me in your prayers I appreciate it more than you know. I will pray for your shoulder also and trust that healing will come soon. Blessings in Jesus, Due

Gem, Was so glad to see your post in my inbox. It is so awesome to meet another compassionate chronic sufferer who can relate to many things I am going through. In 2007 I had a lumbar fusion on L4 & L5. I had high hopes that this would solve the pain I had been experiencing, but unfortunately it made it worse. I have been on meds to try and keep the pain at a minimum, but to tell you the truth some days I barely get by. Only by the grace of God! Life is hard, but God is Good and I am forever grateful that I have Him in my life to carry me when I become too weak to go on. I also have fibromyalgia, osteo arthritis and osteoporosis along with my degenerative disc disease that has warranted cervical fusions as well as the lumbar. Thanks so much for replying to my post and I look forward to chatting with you sometime soon. Take care of yourself. Blessings, Due

Hi All, Just wondering how many of us may be struggling with a chronic illness... If there is anyone that would like to chat, please let me know. I feel sometimes that just knowing there is someone else going through like circumstances can be so helpful in relieving a bit of the stress that chronic illness carries with it. A little understanding can go a long way! Praying for all of you. Blessings in Jesus
