All to pieces #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #OppositionalDefiantDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #BipolarDisorder #Depression

I’m literally in pieces at the moment I honestly don’t know what to do! I’m mourning over the loss of a marriage and a friendship with a friend who I used to rely on. I’m missing both of them him and her because he was my best friend like a brother to me. And she was my wife I’m struggling with how to cope with not being with her anymore. It’s making me super uncomfortable and sad 😞. Now it seems like I don’t have him in my life anymore either. I’m also struggling because I’m scared 😱 that my first ex wife who’s the mother of my children is going to try and prevent me from seeing my kids. My soon to be ex wife and the mother of my kids are friends and I don’t want to lose the ability to see my children. I don’t even have my best friend to talk to anymore. I feel i don’t even know how to feel anymore? I’m under so much stress right now #Upallnight #CheckInWithMe . I don’t know if wanting to repair my marriage even if that’s a possibility which I doubt it is , is even the right way to feel? Because I don’t wanna go back to arguing or fighting or fussing with her but I do love her and miss her. In the end I want what’s best for her and myself. Like I literally don’t know what to do because I want to ensure I get to see my kids I do know that much for certain because I love them. Also I fear the future and what that looks like for me? I know as a Christian ✝️ that I’m fully supposed to put my Faith and trust in God above all else. It says in the Bible in the book of Matthew 6:33 ….—-> Matthew 6:33
King James Version
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. So that’s where my focus needs to be. And I’m also at a new job my training is almost done and it’s a nice distraction but that’s exactly what it is a distraction and all that’s doing is delaying the inevitable right? I’m scared to face the things I gotta face head first. Like yes my marriage is most likely over permanently and that hurts to think about. Wanting my own place and a vehicle that’s weighing on my mind too. Just so many things going on in my life right now I’m so anxious 😬 I don’t want to attempt to go to sleep 😴 right now because if I take my meds and try it could send me spiraling 🌀 into a full blown panic attack and I definitely don’t want or need to have one of those anymore. I’m just so lost 😞 like I want to take this to Jesus Christ and lay all of this at his feet 👣. Because I’m struggling under the weight of all of this. I really need someone to talk to right now. #christiansonthemighty I feel so ashamed of myself right now and so depressed 😔

Scars and Healing #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #RheumatoidArthritis #MitochondrialDisease #SjogrensSyndrome #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS #CheckInWithMe

Scars and Healing

Scars by definition are a healed wound. Think about the scars you’ve collected on your body throughout your life.
The painful bumps and bruises, falls and surgeries that formed raised cuts that were once bleeding, and needed tending to in the process toward ultimate healing.
You cleaned, bandaged, checked to ensure there were no infection, and overtime witnessed, and experienced the miracle of healing. A lasting symbol of pain, time, and healing forming a perfect imperfect scar now in its place.
Resurrected Jesus chose to keep the scars in His hands, and feet, even after ascension, as a reminder to us of all he endured for us as a living sacrifice.
A sign of victory over death!
Jesus knew the doubting Thomas’s of the world would not believe unless they saw with their own eyes the scars of His suffering.
A correlation to some of the struggles of invisible illness and chronic pain itself, as some symptoms cannot be seen.
I scan my body over the countless scars,…seen and unseen. Some on my body, and some on my heart, but through life’s suffering, I have been transformed to a scar of healing.
My scars are victory over pain! An overcoming with unabounding strength (chadzek) to persevere in chronic illness, and life’s true purpose!
My countless surgery scars are a reminder of my calling to use my voice, and all I’ve healed along the way.
Each scar was painfully earned through a process of long-suffering and healing; and my voice will give praise, honor, and glory!
In my story, as I sing this song of hope of full restoration, I too, have chosen to keep my healed scars as my testimony of sealed faith to our Glorious Father!
My question to you is, will you keep your scars?

God is in My story

God is in Your Story

He knows where you are and how to Help you out of the Darkness and into the Light.

He has placed people who are fighting for you in your life.

Don't ever think in your Darkest moments that Jesus the Light of the World isn't Holding you.

I know this in my Heart and in My Head

It's the in between that struggles holding on to the Truth of God's Promises.

That He will Never leave us or forsake us

He Heals Mind ,Body, Spirit.

I pray I can Find Strength to Believe when there is unbelief. To Have Faith in my Savior

Stage #ChronicIllness #RareDisease #MitochondrialDisease #ChronicPain #Disability #RheumatoidArthritis #MightyTogether #christiansonthemighty #InsideTheMighty

Stages by Melanie R.

Smoldered and burnt down
was her body for so long;
after what she had been through,

only ashes remained.

Falling ashes a-blowing
all her life never knowing,
if all she had dreamed of,
for so long-
could’ve been.

But He built her through stages,
found resiliance, unlocked cages-
Jesus brought her the love
that she needed that day.
Although fragile and withered
God guided her way…
and built beauty for ashes,
as she took center stage…
bringing beauty for ashes,
healed her heart through the pain.

(2nd verse)

Like beauty for ashes
charred embers astrued,
God cuppled the scattered
and made something new.
Just like He promised
He said that He could,
built something inside me,
not of metal or wood.

I was built from the ashes
no hammer to slam,
my foundation stands strong,
not sinking in sand.

Jesus my craftsman
knew just what to do,
when building my stages
Sweet Melody of truth-

He built beauty for ashes…
my forever with you!

Although I’ve had the opportunity to sing on many stages, God set this stage for me to sing about rare chronic illness, and has been instrumental in every aspect.

I was built for this stage; in this stage of life!

All of my inner creaky boards and rusty corner latches have been prepared, and the band has been tuned up for this most harmonic song!

I will sing aloud of your steadfast love.
Psalm 59:16.

Jesus,
The stage is set and was fastened by the nails in your hands, so that your voice is amplified and reaches the suffering through this humbled spotlight. Allow us all to sing your praises like the heavens glorify your name!
Amen!

Sing!!!You have the master builder creating your stage with spiritual power tools! This is a pivotal stage in your life! Keep praying to endure and make a joyful sound from your long-suffering!!
A song in suffering is the highest form of praise!

God bless and be with you all!
