I have chronic illness and I write for YOU!

Written By: JoJoisms - Mar• 09•15

SadI write for you.  I write for all those with chronic illness who aren’t where I am or may never be.  I write for all those who can’t find the words to express how they feel to family, friends or doctors except with soft whimpers and cries.

I write for all who know what it’s like to be too tired to get up off the couch to go to bed.  I write for all those who are in so much pain each day they can hardly stand it.  I write for all those who feel alone or that nobody understands.  I write for all those who feel as if God has abandoned them.  I write for all those who don’t know how to answer the question, “how are you today?”

I write for all those who feel obligated to push themselves beyond what they can do because they don’t want to be seen as a wimp.  I write for all those who feel they have to justify their pain or fatigue.  I write for all those who are told they’re just complaining. I write for all those who have been told they just don’t want to get well.  I write for all those who are accused of not being a good enough Christian because they are still struggling.

I write for all of you who wish your pain would show on the outside so others would at least have some compassion.  I write for all of you who feel that without some heavenly inner strength, your disease would consume you.  And I write for all of you who don’t know that strength yet.

I have chronic illness and I write for you.

It is of the Lord‘s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” -Lamentations 3:22-23

    I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog.
    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for
    me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?
    Excellent work!

    Good day! I am so thrilled I found your site. I’m really admiring the dedication you put into your website and in depth information you offer. It’s simply generous of people like you to deliver openly all that a number of people might have offered for sale as an electronic book in making some dough for their own end, even more so considering that you might well have done it.
