This made me cry Laura. I am one among the ones Jesus loves..., old and disabled, muscle that no longer work, I lost my ability to walk without a walker. My hands swollen and knarled. And my husband has cancer and I am his sole caregiver.
My friends ran away when the muscle disease took over. Family as well.
I pray for you everyday and I said to you that what is happening to you stinks.
My go to book, besides Holy Scripture is Searching for and Maintaining Peace.
I have read it. Re- read it and read it again.
If your eyes are hurting Sister Miriam James reads it aloud on the Hallow App.
I have prayed for you every morning for years. Long before this horrible disease.
Colleen, I’m so sorry. Know that I am keeping you in my prayers and in my heart today. I love Searching for and Maintaining Peace! My copy is practically falling apart. Thank you for sharing about the audio on the hallow app. Definitely going to check that out today!
Colleen, I'm so grateful you commented here. SFMP is one of my favorite books and Sr. Miriam James is one of my favorite people. I am sorry that this has been your experience-- what a grace to turn your suffering into prayer. It is such a gift that God has given us to be able to help others in that hidden and unknown way.
Colleen, you are in my prayers too. That is what the broken people can do: see each other in our brokenness and step across the loneliness and fear and remind each other we are still never alone. I am so sorry for your deep suffering, and I will keep you close in my own. I love this book so much, and discovering how many others love it too feels like a fellowship of its own. May there be surprising peace for you today, in your heart if not in your body.
You are one beautiful woman that I have held close to my heart as I do my own daughters. I will walk in prayer with you every step of the way. Thank you!
So much of my anxiety is knowing that any day could be the day when everything changes. A diagnosis, a loss, news that turns my world upside down. Your words soothed my anxious heart this morning. Praying for you and your family, Laura!
This cracked my heart open in its raw beauty. The thin line between healthy and unhealthy we all walk, like a tightrope. And the facade of the image we present to the world. You are lifted up by name in my prayers every day.
You are wise beyond your years. Sometimes it is in suffering that we become wiser, and I know you have suffered tremendous loss and now again tremendous suffering in health. However, I believe when God measured out wisdom not only did He give you and extra measure, but also an ability to articulate that wisdom to convey the depths of suffering.

I guess that is what the broken old people do.

I believe you, I believe you, I believe you. Xxxooo
This beautiful piece is a reminder that our brokenness is not something to fear- but rather the most sacred place where the holy dwells.
This is the best yet. Solid
You are wise beyond your years. Sometimes it is in suffering that we become wiser, and I know you have suffered tremendous loss and now again tremendous suffering in health. However, I believe when God measured out wisdom not only did He give you and extra measure, but also an ability to articulate that wisdom to convey the depths of suffering.
Would you believe me if I told you it is better to know you belong among the broken?
