We went to my immunologist last Saturday morning for my check up. I was given a list of blood tests that I have to do again. I was prescribed to take Prednisone tabs and Clexane shots daily... again. On our way home while we're still in the car, I couldn't help crying. I can't brush off the thought of how painful each shot is, plus how expensive my medicines are. I was worried sick! When some friends and family learned about this, they were all so worried about me too, especially my dad. I can't blame them, they knew what I've gone through and how complicated it was.
I kept telling God how scared I was and asked Him to strengthen me. I was encouraged after hearing what our pastor preached that afternoon. It's like as if God was telling me, "Daughter, fear not for I am here to take care of you." All of a sudden I felt like my worries were lifted up from me. Back home, I still feel the pain each time Jec gives me the shot, but I know that God is holding my hand and I could almost hear Him say, "Daughter, it's okay. I'm here with you."
I've stopped asking God why. I've just embraced the truth that He knows best.

If my rheumatologist got her way and the meds wouldn't be so expensive, then I would be on shots as well. Just the thought of it makes my skin crawl! I am so grateful for Jec being there with you and helping you through this. It must be hard on him as well. Give him our love, please?
God does know best and He is with you all the way, all the time:-)
And so are we, in spirit and in prayer. May your trust and faith in Him be highly rewarded.
We love you, girl!
God's Grace.
Praying for you this morning.
God is in control.
((hugs))
Pia, what do those shots do?
Dearest Pia lieve zus
My hearts goes out to you.
You're so young and you're going through so much.
Just continue to trust our Lord.
He cares for you very much.
Everything will be beautiful in His time.
In God we trust :)
Please take care, dear zus.
HUGS!
He is with you every step you take, and every pain, fear, he feels too. He loves you that much. I hope you can find some peace knowing He really is holding you every minute of the day.

Oh girl - I am praying for "Jesus to repair YOU" as my little guy would say!!!

My family will being praying for you. Always remember that our God is a God of healing. That's why Jesus died on the cross for all our sickness and diseases. Keep on telling yourself that you're healed even in the time of pain. Keep confessing it's gone and it will be. Be Blessed

Pia, what illness do you have (so that I can pray specifically for healing)? I will lift you up and ask that He hold you in his arms and erase all the pain and illness so that you can be the witness He created you to be.
I pray that God will bring you healing according to His will and glorious power. May He meet your needs physically, emotionally and financially.
Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God.
I'm glad yo're back and so sorry your having a time of trials. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love and hugs,
Father, I lift up my sweet and beautiful sister, Pia. There are things we must endure while sorjourning on this earth, but I pray that You will speak a healing over your daughter, Pia.

Exodus 15:26
Dearest sister Pia, my precious friend ~ I pray and ask the Lord to give you grace to endure, to cause His joy well up inside you inspite of the pain, to carry you when you're tired, and to have your life filled with love and encouragement from friends and family. When you hurt, we hurt. When you rejoice, we rejoice with you. {{hugs}} Please know how much I care and will keep you in my ongoing prayers to the Father.
love you bunches,
Vicki

aaw sweetie, i can't imagine what you are going through but just remember, God knows! He knows everything that is going on in your body and around you and He will use it for His will. I know that's really hard to hear. I had some news last week myself that I still can't reconcile to myself but I guess in the end all we can do is trust. God bless you sister. Chin uP!
thanks, nan. i know that someday, i'll be able to use this experience to inspire others too. please take care and God bless you too, sis. =)
You shared,
"I've stopped asking God why. I've just embraced the truth that He knows best."
A place of surrender.
