🌺💓🙏 Embracing God's Grace: My Life with Systemic Sclerosis 🌺💓🙏

Autoimmune diseases are chronic conditions in which one's immune system attacks healthy cells in the body by mistake, causing inflammation, and severe damage to different organs.

Unfortunately, I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and it has been a stressful, challenging, and overwhelming experience.

At first, this news caught me off guard, and I wasn't ready for what was to come. However, as time went by, I realized how this condition has changed my outlook on life, my appreciation for the gift of life, and my relationship with God. Every day since my diagnosis has been a faith-building experience, and I am grateful still to the Lord.

I remember when I first visited the doctor. I was feeling weak, lethargic, and my muscles were aching, among other symptoms. I underwent numerous tests, and then came the verdict - "You have an autoimmune disease." My world came crashing down, and I went into isolation. I wasn't sure how to tell my family, and I didn't have the courage to face the truth.

  

However, through prayers and reading the scriptures, something began to shift in me. I realized that God didn't give me this condition as a punishment. Rather, it was an opportunity for me to grow spiritually, develop strength, and encourage others going through similar situations. I began to learn that being thankful to the Lord every day was the best approach to a better and more fulfilling life.

Now, even though I struggle with the symptoms that come with the disease, I am thankful still to the Lord every day. I am grateful for the days I wake up and accomplish simple tasks, and for my family, that has been supportive all through. Despite the unpredictable flare-ups and medical appointments, I am happy to have another day to live.

My diagnosis with an autoimmune disease may have changed my life forever, it changed my appearance but it has given me an appreciation for life and renewed my relationship with God. I am thankful for every single day that have, and I am determined to make the best of it. If you are going through a tough situation, know that with faith, hope, and thankfulness, you can conquer anything.

I am forever grateful and thankful to the Author and Giver of Life.
Thank you, Lord, for giving me another year in my life. 
🌺💓🙏
