All My Heart

This is my 200th blog post.

Today, I went back and scanned my first few posts.

I have grown so much since December, when I started this. My journey with this illness has been long, but as of today, my academic year is finally done and I have finished coursework for the semester and summer.

200 posts. 200 days. 200 long days.

I want the theme of this post to be Proverbs 3:5- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

Had I not trusted in God to see me through this, and relied on myself and my own strength and understanding, I wouldn't be here writing this.

But I've trusted in God with all my heart. And look how far it's taken me.

There are no more words. I'm amazed at strength and endurance God has given me.

I want to be like this woman. This video was made by a church nearby my university. Please take time to watch all 8 minutes- it may make you cry, as it does me each time I watch it. May my faith continue to grow and develop to be as strong as her as I continue to battle and overcome the hurdles and obstacles my illness will bring.




Blessings? I've survived 200+ days. All I can do is say: PRAISE GOD. GOD IS GOOD.

  1. Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. What an amazing woman (and husband).

    I'm looking forward to reading over your older blog posts over the summer, but I know already that you've come so far. Awesome!

    Oh, I think you meant Proverbs 3:5 though - 3:15 is not quite what you're after!
