He doesn't shun you when you fight...he just holds you no matter what, just as you held your children when they wanted to fight you.<BR/><BR/>i love you and am holding you too.<BR/><BR/>love,<BR/>your lil sis<BR/>xoxoboho girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03831320334520839164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-22314396951247431882007-04-17T03:17:00.000-07:002007-04-17T03:17:00.000-07:00Dearest Darlene,It's more than OK to feel like you...Dearest Darlene,<BR/><BR/>It's more than OK to feel like you do.

But I went for 3 years, seeing at least 5 doctors, before a diagnosis was made and treatment began. <BR/><BR/>I kept a journal during those years, spilling my guts, cursing God, wondering why my family couldn't understand what pain I was in, etc. and a couple of years ago I put some of the entries into a book: Diagnosis: Lupus: The Intimate Journal of a Lupus Patient. It's on Amazon.com, B&N online or at the publisher's site, PublishAmerica.com <BR/>Maybe you can draw some strength from some of my entries. And it's okay to cry with the pain and frustration. Some day, God willing, they will find a cure for this diabolical disease. <BR/>I also have a blog about lupus: it's http://www.IsItLifeOrIsItLupus.blogspot.com/<BR/>All I can say is, you will get better, in time. It's always worse before you are diagnosed and treated. I don't know how long you've had it, but it's been my experience that with proper treatment, you will get better. <BR/>Marilyn MorrisMarilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158324177654901286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-90676675296887526742007-04-16T08:03:00.000-07:002007-04-16T08:03:00.000-07:00Oh my dear Darlene.

But then I picture how much I love my boys no matter how many times they do something wrong. And how much I love to just hold and hug them when they will let me - whether or not they have said they were sorry yet. Then I picture the Perfect Father feeling that for you even more than I could possibly feel for my boys.<BR/><BR/>God reach into Darlene and take this pain away. I bind the spirit of guilt and command it to leave your daughter. Holy Spirit comfort and fill Darlene. Let her know you're ok with her being human and that you're there with her even when the pain doesn't stop. Thank you for loving my friend Darlene so much better than I ever could.LEstes65https://www.blogger.com/profile/15963146455105319876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-7207090184110888252007-04-16T07:29:00.000-07:002007-04-16T07:29:00.000-07:00He knows baby girl how much you love Him!!

I think about others who endure pain and suffering. I keep thinking that God doesn't give us more than we can bear. He knows our limits. In a way, I believe He wants us to depend on Him, to stay close to Him. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you are going through another flare-up. God loves you. I am amazed at your strength.

He never left my side and I know He is always at yours. He sees your tears and feels your pain and I know that He is using it for good.<BR/><BR/>You are an inspiration to so many who read your blog. In spite of the lupus you are a very talented and creative woman. You have been a witness to a watching "blogland" of your faith and your love.<BR/><BR/>I think of how strong you were during Mark's accident and recovery and I know that the God of the universe uses you in a mighty way.<BR/><BR/>My prayer is that you will feel much better soon and that you will be freed from any guilt that you are feeling.
