In the midst of struggles
Even though things have been rough I serve a great God. He is faithful in all things! He is all knowing and loving. I give praise for His unfailing love. I give praise that His arms are never crossed but always open. He's there when all else fails. His love is all I need!
Remember, You can't have a rainbow without the storm!
God is Good!

Today has been a good day....
Yesterday I had my second round of light therapy and I'm seeing results... good results. The therapy seems to be working and I'm thankful that it is working. I'm also thankful to God for sending the right people to comfort me, make me laugh, and for those that simply come by and help me take my mind off of things.
People have asked me what seems to be the worst part of this disorder. So, here is my list...
The worst part of the disorder: No warm/hot baths or showers, itch 24/7, can't sleep, exhausted, parts of your body look like a scene/creature from an alien movie, no cure, and some days you feel like you are on fire.
I think through it all I realized I took a lot of things for granted. Simple things, like taking a nice warm bath and a good night's rest. I'm looking at things a little differently. The disorder is a sweet reminder of how blessed I am. It's a reminder of how GOOD GOD IS!
Never take the small things for granted...

I had a decent night...
Ever since I was diagnosed with a skin disorder/disease I have not had a good night's sleep in forever. I'm constantly up and down placing cold compresses on my entire body and taking medicine and making sure my body is coated in some form of "itch relief" lotion. Yesterday I even tried light therapy which seemed to help. At this moment I'm willing to try anything.
Last night was the first night of rest (decent) in a long time. It was very nice...very, very nice! People asked what I did differently but the truth is... nothing. I did everything I've been doing but for some reason I slept really well.
In my heart I think it's been the prayers of family and friends. Philippians 4:6 says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." I truly believe it's been the prayers of faithful family members and friends. God hears the cries of His children. What ever you are facing or dealing with give it all to God.
Today I will rejoice in finding five hours of sleep and not itching. Might sound funny to most, but for me it was sweet relief.
Many thanks to God and my family, friends, and church family! May God Bless YOU ALL!
