You do a wonderful job serving God in your daily work. I admire your skills, dedication, and selflessness. I’m sure glad you started your blog just a few months before I was diagnosed. What a blessing for me. You reminded me today that God is in control and I should depend on him more than I do. How easy that is to forget when we get caught up in our worries. Loved the song.
You write it, because somebody needs to put the information out there. You write it, because it gives a voice to thousands who are struggling to accept & live with RA. You write it, because it is a form of therapy that helps you to cope. Most of all, you write it because you are a writer. You were called to this vocation and this blog. Don’t fight it! Think of the good that you have accomplished.
“Let your light so shine … and glorify
your Father in heaven.”

What an incredible blessing to find this web site and blog. I was diagnosed with RA last Dec. I have been taking MTX and prednisone since then. This past Feb. I started the Enbrel injections. I have now taken 10 does and I am still struggling to move much. This site has already help me deal with my desire to exercise but not wanting to hurt and when I read about not feeling morning stiffness I was so relieved because I don’t. I will be reading everything on this site. If feels good to have this support. It is also such a relief to read about dealing with RA from a Christian view point. I am glad that God is in Control and I am not.
Thank you
Hi Kristi,
Thanks. You said “it feels good to have this support…” It feels good to me too to hear such encouraging words.
I hope the treatments begin to help you more soon. :heart:
Thanks for this post Kelly! I especially like your take on life as a seamless piece: “If our lives are not divided up into little compartments, then we do not have a religious character and a business character and a home character.”
Who we are when happy is the same person we are when suffering too. And God is there in all these instances. Still something I’m working on grasping.
Thanks, Jen. That makes me think of Jesus – the same yesterday, today, & tomorrow. Of course we can’t do exactly as he does, but it’s still reality. What’s that old saying? Knock a cup & what spills is what was inside.
PERFECT!! That song so fits! God’s love is the kind of love I want!! Thanks for sharing, Kelly 🙂
I thought of you, Doreen. I’m glad you like it. :heart:

Thank you, friend. We can all remind each other of that, helping each other along. :heart:
Without the support of a loving husband and God’s love I couldn’t have made it through the past seven years with RA. Thanks for sharing Kelly.
