Wonderful to meet you dear ister in Christ. Not all the soldiers are in Iraq or Afghanistan. Fight the good fight of faith. We are, as christians, all in a one on one, all alone battle ith satan for our souls. What a graciously good God we serve for Him to show you your enemy behind the veil. Love in the name above all names. Jesus!

My hands actually have been bothering me more, but the bigger issue is just the energy/feeling sick/not being able to focus thing. The other problem is when if I type for very long, the motion seems to be flaring up the pain in my ribs and chest... guess it uses the muscles there more than I thought. So, to answer your question, it's a combination of it all, I guess! :-P

Still praying for you and thankful to see through your words what a strong, inspiring person you are. I just finished reading the life story of Padre Pio. He's a wonderful saint to turn to and ask for intercession.
I'm glad Riley is there to keep you company! What a cutie!

Thank you for sharing your world with us.

You are are one of my favorite stops in our blogging community.

Friends share their experiences with each other, good and bad. That is what makes a family. You are an important part of our family, as are Riley, and now George. :)

You are 100% correct that life is what it is. All any of us can do is make the most out of what we have. You are doing a better job of that than anyone I know.

It took me several attempts to read this to my dear hubby yesterday. There were times all I could do was choke on my tears. You are so brave and courageous. Thank you for being honest with us. It may be what it is.....but that still doesn't make it an easy pill to swallow. You are on my heart and in my prayers. I'm like everyone else, if I lived closer, I'd be over all the time checking on you. So....I'll just have to drop in here. Blessings, SusanD

Sara- Thanks for keeping us updated on you, but please know that you don't *have* to. I wish more than anything I too could drop off at your apartment to chat or just give you a hug. Please know that you are in my prayers OFTEN, here in alabama...

You are an amazing woman, Sara, and you know how much we all love you. I so so so wish you didn't have to go through all of this, but I love that with every keystroke we see Christ in you. You are always in my prayers.

Thank you for trusting your readers with the profound truth of your illness. It's a little like I suspected and I am continuing loving you the only way I know how right now...through prayer.
Here's a hard question...IS there ANYTHING else I can do for you to make your burden lighter? ANYTHING. I realize the vulnerability it would take for you to answer that...but I truly want to know. I love you...I'm praying...I'd love to do more.

I just copied and pasted your life goals, printed them out and stuck them on my bulletin board by my desk.

Have you read Heaven by Randy Alcorn? His non-fiction and fiction both paint such an awesome picture of our eternal home. I always get so excited about heaven when I read his stuff--and it puts my junk on earth in perspective.

You remind me of some of my heroes--Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O King. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O King, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." (Daniel 3:17-18)

Prayed just now that God would deliver you from your blazing furnace. Praising Him that you're serving Him faithfully "even if He does not."

Love you!!

Oh Sara, you've been going through my mind, a lot. I hate it that you have so much pain. Hate it. You're amazingly strong, and the fact that you don't want to complain is admirable.

BUT, we as believers together form the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12)
1 Cor. 12:26 says: If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

You do an exceptional job rejoicing with others and I think it's healthy and also essential for you to share (like you did in this post) about your struggles. Sharing is not complaining. If one part suffers, every part suffers. That's how God set it up. If you suffer, we all suffer with you. That's how we want it to be and how it should be. We suffer together. Only you feel your pain, but we do suffer with you. Maybe you don't want us to, but it just is what it is... ;-)

If I feel awful, the Psalms really speak to me, Psalm 91 especially lately.

You're in my prayers.
Anna

Knocking on wood, but quietly--or else the dogs would sound the "OH MY GOSH, SOMEONE'S HERE!" alert, rush to the front door, and wake my husband.

Thank you for your open post. We're all praying for you and wishing there was something we do in person instead of from far away. Is the mobility in your hands directly affected, too, or is it everything else that makes computer time tough?

Do you read comments on your older posts? I'm catching up, so I wanted to reply to your godson post here. My goddaughter, 3.5 years, is pretty outrageous and her mommy (my best friend) has posted some quotes at http://rebeccaandtom.blogsp...
It's well worth a visit if you have a moment for a laugh (or careful smile). My favorite:
After using the potty in the morning, Liesl pulled her pajama pants up over her bare bottom:
Mommy: “Liesl, don’t you want to put some undies on first?”
Liesl: “Nope. I’m goin’ commando.”
