Live courageously from your heart!
Here is a poem I wrote about my kids during my divorce…
I see it every day and I say it’s only living
Like life is only pain, believe me; my heart was given.
Anguish, heartbreak and a hurt I can’t erase
A light, a warmth I wish will shine upon your face.

We have lost our story!
Think about walking on a road holding torn out pages from a book. Then you discover that these pages are the fragments of your own life story. The pages are torn and beaten up and we have no idea how to make sense of it all.
That describes most of us, doesn’t it?

Then He said to me,
Prophesy to these bones and say to them,
Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones,
I will make breath enter you,
And you will come to life.
So I prophesied as I was commanded.
As I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound,
And the bones came together, bone to bone.
And I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them,
And skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
Then He said to me,
Prophesy to the breath,
Prophesy, son of man, and say to it,
Conjure the four winds of breath and breathe.
Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God’s plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. Our broken lives are not lost or useless. God comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out His wonderful plan of love.
Here is Angela’s story.
Lupus SLE is an autoimmune disease that basically attacks its own body tissue. It is like having an overactive immune system. Immunosuppressive drugs are usually what stops lupus from progressing. Lupus can also attack major body organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, joints, and just about anywhere in the body. I was not aware of this debilitating disease until I was diagnosed with it in 2004. Most people with lupus are often misdiagnosed because lupus can mask itself, causing it to appear like many other illnesses. As my battle with lupus progressed, it was clearly evident that my life would never be the same.
