[Natethegr8]

Romans 8:18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.

The question of where is God and why is he doing this to me is one that has popped into my head many times in the years since my diagnosis. As I started to pay closer attention to the things that are part of the faith and the Bible, I became less prone to blaming God for being this way. There is always a reason we just don’t understand the purpose. God hears our distress calls and just because He isn’t answering how we want or at the exact moment we want, doesn’t mean that He doesn’t care. A song by Garth Brooks is a good reminder of this…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5tFrU29F24

Stemming from my from my faith in God, is the belief that the suffering I have to endure and as well as all FA patients, does not go unnoticed, and “counts” for something. He truly wants to help us, but just can’t. He controls the things in Heaven, not always on earth. Our reward will be great when we get to Heaven. I encourage each of you to pick up a Bible and read! God loves each of us and we shouldn’t let this obstacle drive a wedge between God’s heart and our hearts. Again, I completely understand that it is easy to play the blame-game to justify the many hardships that come with this disease. I know because I’ve been down that road once or twice.
