Yes, Renee. I agree. I think we are just meant to trust Him through all things even if we never have understanding down here, because we know he works for good for those called according to his purposes. It doesn’t mean we avoid heartbreak and suffering, though. We just choose to keep our eyes on Him in the middle of the struggles. Easier to say than to actually always do.

Oh how this all resonates, precious sister. My SIBO is one of many chronic illnesses and your inner thoughts echo my own. Thing is?! His inner life and couraging-into reverberates

Oops. Hit the button too soon! Reverberates, a stronger song, joy and peace and love in the midst of it all. Oh Lord, draw us nearer to You for You are drawing near to us, holding us fast in every loss in brings.

Thank you for helping me to better understand your diagnosis. And, you may not feel like there's progress, our that Jesus is near, or that you exude joy in your circumstances, but you are a witness to me. Your face lights up with joy in the Lord and your unbridled praise is a lesson in how to be thankful in all things. I pray for your healing and ongoing revelations of God's love for your!❤️

Jen, your explanation of SEBO, the tests and the way the disease affects your mind, body and spiritual life help me understand better your journey. You wrote clearly and compellingly. Thank you for sharing your world.
