My husband and son left after my son got home for school yesterday for deer camp, and I was headed to Cabot to take my oldest ( Emily ) to her Nanny's for the weekend. Then it would just be Hannah and me. I am so excited about that too, some bonding time. Well we are in the car and just talking about school and friends and just stuff, when Emily starts telling about this book she has got from the library, and has already read half of it. It is about this girl who basically ends up in the hospital with some type of bone disease and the Dr.'s think she is going to die. Well Emily starts to tear up and looks at me ask why things like this happen and why it happened to me ( my MS). Well I am trying not to cry and I answer her with this. God has a plan His timing is perfect. He allows things to happen for reasons that you and I may not understand till we are up in heaven with Him. Emily let me tell you a story that happened to me not to long ago. When I was having a very slow and weak day and could not do things on my own I had to have someone help me walk and get me dressed and do my hair and just do about everything for me I had someone say to me " I just don't know how you do it,How you make it through the day" I looked at them with a smile and said I don't God does it HE does it ALL. and I give Him all the glory for it. Emily just kinda looked at me. I said Emily I use to wonder why I had MS why I had to have it. I am a mom of 3 kids I don't have time for it. But you know what. I really think God allowed me to have MS (1) b/c I can handle it (2) I can use it as a witness tool to reach out to other people. You know I do not want to be pitied at all and I don't want attention drawn to me and that makes me strong. It was recently brought to my attention how my faith in God through this Illness has help someone else with there illness and that Emily is what I would like to know that I can do is to help someone else know that they can climb there mountain with God's strength. Because our God is so merciful and gracious.
