This is one of my favorite scriptures.

I have been having stomach problems for the past year now and it just feels like it will never end.

I have been sick..with who knows what. My stomach hurts constantly, especially in the morning when I wake up. It feels like it's inflammed. No matter what I eat, it hurts after. Even if I eat something healthy like a salad or a turkey sandwich. Hurts. I also have back aches and sometimes my bones and my body feel really weak. I have received no answers as to what it might be and I'm on doctor #4. After numerous tests (blood work, at home tests and an ultrasound) and doctor visits...Nothing. Negative.

 So... this is the (-) side of the situation. 

There is also a (+) side of this situation.

This life that I have been given is a beautiful one. I have so much to be blessed and grateful for. I have so many people around me that love and care. I have so many prayers that have been answered time and time again that I am so grateful for. Yes I am faced with feeling sick day in and day out, and yes I haven't had any results come back as to what it is.

 That's alright.

Our God is a great God. He is a perfect God. He is merciful and  loves me with a love that is so infinite that I cannot even comprehend. I I know that God has a purpose for everything. I have grown so much during this trial and have become even closer to my Heavenly Father as I have been relying and trusting in Him.

But..because of my hope, faith, love and trust for my Heavenly Father,  He has strengthened me, guided me, and helped me get through each day as it comes.

"I am happy and cheerful with whatever situation it may be"
