- About You:
- I am a 33 year old mommy, married, with two children; ages 3 and 9. I have contended with depression for most of my life as I can remember and have been confronted with the newest challenge of living with chronic pain and fatigue diagnosed as fibromyalgia since the pregnancy and birth of my youngest. I am seeking a life of fellowship and hope to find my way into a life that glorifies God on a daily and hourly basis! My deepest desire is to truly live a life that honors our Lord and Savior and that will guide my children into the arms of God, too.
I have begun to work a bit on advocacy for suicide prevention recently, as I have dealt with this issue firsthand. I am also in the process of learning more about the condition of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, as a "trauma" survivor.
I enjoy writing and sharing my feelings and experiences with others, in the hope that I will be able to somehow help others who have experienced similar situations or contend with similar health issues.
I am extremely grateful to God for this site and the friendships and support that I have found here!

You Might Want to See This!
Tonight on Twitter, a message came across from Sheila Walsh, an amazing woman who is a part of the Women of Faith team that I was privileged to see in March here in Kansas City. Well, she does not send me messages specifically on Twitter, but I "follow" her and catch a message of hers every now and then. She was the speaker that resonated the most with me at the conference.
Anyway, she sent a message that was something like "You must watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY"

Offering Hope
What do you get when you combine an Australian journalist/advocate/educator with an American stay-at-home mom with Fibromyalgia learning to live a beautiful life in the midst of Chronic Pain and Illness?
Two people who care deeply for mental health issues, the stigma surrounding these issues and the desire to provide hope for those who suffer.

Chronically NOT My(OLD)self - Devotional thoughts by Kimberly Walker
LEARNING TO ABIDE IN HIM
John 15:4-5 “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart [...]
DISTRACTED by Chronic Pain
1 Corinthians 1 Paul refers to Jesus Christ nine times in the first nine verses. We are correctly focused when we can say from the depths of our being, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21, ESV), and that our determined purpose in life is “that I may [...]
SPIRIT WHOLENESS
"Let the word of Christ dwell in your richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God." (Col 3:16)

I had written a comment on your wall awhile ago after you had commented on my page but i wasn't paying attention and went to another page before i clicked the add comment button and lost it all not just once but TWICE. I've been meaning to get back to you but days go so fast and i feel like i seem to lose time.
I was so excited to see your beautiful face on my page, not just once but graced twice on my comment wall from you. What a delight!!!
JOY DANCE!!!
I want you to know that i read your speach you gave at your community walk in your blogs and boy was that touching to read. I wish i could of been there to actually of heard you deliver it, very powerful and deeply moving. You are being use greatly by God, more then you know. Even if you helped just one person be comforted of their loss of a loved one or God brought someone into your life to save you don't even know know about, it is worth every effert you have done to get the word out. If it wasn't for you my sweet sister in Christ, I wouldn't be aware of it or would of touched me deeply to empathy and understanding about this issue without your attention that you have brought to me through your story. Thank you for working hard with such passion.
I know that you struggle still at times and so I continue to keep you in prayer of spiritual protection from the enemy. I know for a fact that when God starts to use His people for His glory, Satan's assignment over our lives is stepped up. But i know God's hand of protection is upon you and it's amazing how far you have come since I have know you.
Just know that if you are still facing some days that seem dark, I love you and care for you deeply my sister - keep going, don't give up, your doing good work.
I myself am going through times of trial with my family but I am able to see God's love for us. It's hard to see through the mess and my sister's are stuggling through losses of their job's, houses, marriages ect. ect. Yes i'm still struggling with extra pain but there is a sense of peace through all the tears and unknowns.
I haven't been able to come on LW or the computer as often because of so many people in my family that must share the computer but praying soon I will be able to a little more. In a way it has given me the needed rest from it that i haven't been able to do like i needed. Because of you, it gave me the challenge of how much is too much. God has brought me to a book I'm reading called 'Boundaries' which i realize how much i have the lack of. It's been such a painful learning curve devoloping a skill that I wish I learn in a healthy way a long time ago, the older i get the harder it is to learn. So letting go and step into God's flow is what i'm trusting Him for as i go through this learning process.
The one thing about it though, in order to live in healthy boundaries you can't just read it, you have to pracitce doing it. Guess What? since God brought the book into my attention, He also provided the pracitce grounds with my family all being in under the same roof whom have very strong personalites. It's not like i can run from it LOL. Darn it!! It's been hard to face the truth of my own lack of boundaries with family, God and especially MYSELF. That last one is the hardest but looking in the mirror as difficult and painful as it was - knowing in some ways that i have been co dependant with others and why I am is comforting in a way. Comforting to know the Holy Spirit eases the heartache and burden of facing it with grace, understanding, love, wisdom and direction in how to change it and that has made all the difference.
ANyways, How have you been my sweet?
Love you bigger then life but never bigger then God, He's got me on that one.
Your in my heart and prayers,
Joy
What a nice surprise to find on my page. I was really glad to hear from you and still thank God of the timing I first heard your talk that led me to LW. Hope all is well with you and your precious ones!
Love,
Jan Lyn
Blessings!
