]]> Comment on The Path To Joy: Acceptance by Sandy Ludwig http://www.stephaniestaples.com/the-path-to-joy-acceptance/#comment-33 Sandy Ludwig Sun, 16 Jan 2011 13:46:01 +0000 http://www.stephologie.com/?p=1328#comment-33 Thanks Stephanie for this encouraging note. As one who daily struggles to "triumph over" Fibromyalgia, I recently had a set back when I fell down the stairs and broke my foot, sprained my ankle and perhaps tore ligaments in both my knee and shoulder. It is scriptures such as you have referred to that get me through the daily struggles, but even so, I often find myself sucked into depression, frustration, anxiety, and embarrasment as you referenced. While many have related to the depression, frustration, etc.in articles such as yours, few have related to the embarrassment that we often feel when dealing with our "norm". The reminder that, for so many, suffering is the norm and that it is precisely to these that Paul writes, helps me to unload this unexplainable feeling of shame and embarrassment. I'll hold my head up high today as I struggle up the steps to church choir and lean on my silly, but chicly designed cane. Feelings are real, but faith is not based on feeling, as you state. God's word sustains us, lifts us up, and helps us rise above this "temporary" state of suffering while on this earth. Thanks for helping me rise above another day of this "not so perfect life", to remain ever so joyful in the Lord. I'm smiling through the pain:) Even so, may we remain compassionate, caring and understanding of our fellow sufferers and offer the same encouragement as we so often need.

I was just reading King Solomon's (presumedly) "blog" chapter 1 of Ecclesiastes. Powerful, simple and to the point. "Knowledge of this world and things of this world are basically in vain. You can't take it with you and you'll probably leave your riches to some fool anyway and knowledge is in vain if not knowledge of God and the things of God"! Paraphrased........... makes me want to give it all away....... I appreciate you so much and your tenacity to know more and more of God. I wish I'd been like you as a young woman! Proud of you, too! Love you! E Hey,
