Let Me Explain

Hi, my name is Melinda. I am a stay-at-home homeschooling mom. I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, IBS, dry eye syndrome, etc. One particular Wednesday night, I had a bit of a cold. My husband and I took our then 5 year old daughter to Wednesday night church. After class was over we went to pick her up. There were several adults who came up to me and, with much concern, asked if I was OK and they hoped I would get better. I was totally lost. I had no idea why they would say these things to me. Later, in the van, I asked my little one how class was. She informed me that she asked for prayer for me. I thought that was so sweet and then I found out what she really said. Apparently, while in her class, the teacher asked the children if they had any prayer requests. My precious little one raised her hand and said, "Please pray for my mom. She has diseases".

Well, there you have it. The reason behind my blog's name. I have created this blog to share my experiences living with chronic illness, diseases lol. I know, whether you are the one who has a chronic illness or are living with someone who has one, it is never easy. I hope my sharing can be of some help and encouragement to others.
