One of my blogger friends, Tia, from "When My Thoughts Aren't On Chicago," posted her testimony on her blog and I felt so led to re-post it on my blog because people need to read this. I've learned that when you hear other people's stories, it causes you to refrain from complaining.
This is what she had to say...
Well in case you all didn't know, my life forever changed on my brothers birthday 3-6-06. I was diagnosed with MS. MS is a condition that attacks the nerves in the body. It eats away at the protective cover called Myelin Sheth (like insulation on a wire) and exposes the nerve which cause many symptoms when exposed. Back to the story at hand. I went through many tests, some painful. I've heard everything from : "you won't walk normal again", "you will get worse", and many other negative ungodly things. I have experienced vision loss, muscle weakness, and numbness in my extremities.
But the minute I heard, "you have MS', I knew there was something I was suppose to do. My life finally had purpose and a meaning that I could actually put my finger on. I am here to give God glory as well as lead as many people as possible to Him thru this story.
I had faith that God was going to do somethings for me. My faith was that one day the spots they saw on my MRI will be gone by the next one. And it was!! I said by March/April my vision will be at the point where I will drive confidently. And it is!
God is working with me and I can not let His works go in vein. I know that God didn't do this, He allowed it. He knows I am strong enough to endure it or He would not have allowed it. I know that this is for His glory and His glory only. I know it is to bring me closer to Him as well as others. Might sound crazy to some but this is the best thing that's happened to me. If I were weak and fragile would I have such a trial? Would I be able to endure the pain? No. All of my pain, trials and tribulations says that I am strong! And that this is only a testimony in the works.
Yes science says MS but God says Testimony!
Is your spirit in conflict with God? Is your world in contradiction to God's word? Is it in direct contradiction to God's plan and word He has spoken over your life? Are you or someone you know in a similar situation, science vs God? Or any testimony you would like to share? Please post your story or comment here!

Wow I am honored that you posted this. Thank you!!
Chris for the first time in my MS history, I feel great. For the first time I acutally forget I have it!! I feel just as good as before. This is a huge blessing considering how I felt early on. I couldn't drive, type, feel anything with my hands and sometimes couldnt walk. God is truly worthy to be praised!!!!
I promise you, it's my honor to re-post it. I'm glad that you're feeling better. People really need to hear your storys so don't stop blogging. I'm sure your story can help someone else in other capacities. Be and stay blessed!
