"Someone who knows fear but is not ruled by it. Someone who feels the weight but keeps showing up. Someone who has learned that God’s steadiness does not depend on ours.
"I am not writing from the other side of the pain. I am writing from inside it.
"A wounded healer doesn’t wait to be whole before showing up. They show up because they know what it is to need someone who stayed."
This is why I read you. This is the type of Jesus follower I aspire to be.
Thank you for sharing. I have rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren’s disease and I'm only 32. I also have OCD, primarily health related. And I have another issue that popped up that I'm getting tested for. It all feels so overwhelming. I no longer feel safe in my own body, but I know God wants my peace to come from Him, not from certainty about my health. To sit with the grief instead of the anxiety. To not be controlled by fear. Your article gave me some peace. God bless you.
My friend Larry suffered for years with RA. Very challenging. I feel for you. And am amazed at your productivity despite your struggles. Sorry if this borders on asshole-ism, but have you looked any into nutrition and autoimmune?
