Naomi,
God never makes a mistake. I don't believe he sent this to us. But, I am convinced that it filtered through His fingers. He allowed it to happen for a specific reason. If there were not a point to this disease in your (my) life for His glory, it wouldn't have happened. Personally, I have given my testimony at church a couple of times since this happened to me. It's amazing to see the response. I don't necessarily have answers. I don't. But, just telling a story and someone hearing it can make the biggest impact in their life and we won't even know until eternity. Just so you know, your letter meant something to me. It ministered. Thanks.

I was thinking about where I stand in this life time. What do I have to offer to being a meaningful person. Being a C4 Quad, I have no movement on the right side and limited movement on the left side. This leaves me unable to perform the most meager task. I was wondering, what is there left for me? I can't do anything, I can't go anywhere alone, I don't produce anything. Does that mean that I have no place in this world? I had been working a full-time job, since the age of 15. I am now 50 years old. In those years, I did a lot of different type of work. All of it producing something. Now all I produce is work for someone else to do... caring for me. Is this my destiny? Usually I'm pretty upbeat and take things in stride. I rely on my faith in God, to get me through most days, but today I just feel a little depressed. Maybe I need to up my Cymbalta dosage. I come to this message board, because I know that someone here will understand and sympathize with me. I agree with Jude, when she stays that our friends and family can't really relate to what we actually feel. I just needed a shoulder to cry on for today. Thanks for being there for me.
