One of my devotions this morning. God's timing is so perfect! If I had read this 2 years ago on this date, I would have probably thought "awww, that's nice" and went about my day, in all honesty. November 24, 2020 will mark 16 years since I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I can relate to the man that they are writing about. Prior to my diagnosis, I stayed busy. I was a mother of one at that time but I stayed in the roads. Always doing something. As I went on to have my second and third daughter, my disease progressed. I became a hermit. I never had any animosity about my diagnosis. In fact, I have always been thankful for my diagnosis because it did slow me down. It made me a better person and mother. It taught me to be thankful for what I do have. I thought that being thankful and having a positive attitude was enough to get me into heaven. I mean, I knew better in my head but my heart and body didn't follow until November of 2018. Within 2-3 months after I recommitted my heart to Lord, my world would fall apart. I like to say "upside down and inside out" because that is exactly what it was. Nothing would ever be the same. Little did I know, that is a praise! Now I have 6 children and my life is at its busiest. When I was a hermit, I didn't realize that I was slowly killing myself. A trip to the grocery store had me in pajamas for days trying to recover some energy. This might sound cliché but I feel like the Lord has given me an energy that you can't get anywhere else. You can't get it in a prescription bottle or a glass bottle you can only buy at the age of 21. I've experienced many things in the past two years that could have taken that joy and peace away from me but the Lord continues to sustain me. He remains faithful and always will! I trust Him with my mind, body and soul! He is going to do great things in my life. I believe that 10,000%. He can do the same for you too if you just trust Him!
