To blog or not to blog? That is the question…...

  “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, or the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:8-9


     I’ve been trying to decide if I really should blog about this journey…..I certainly don’t want anyone to feel as though I am writing for sympathy or so you can feel sorry for me.  Once again, worrying about what others think…..when will I ever get off that roller coaster?! :-) I asked my sister, Melanie, if that is the way it is coming across.  She said, “ No…..that is not your heart….your heart is to help others like they have helped you.  It is an opportunity to share Christ, His love, and His grace.  Haven’t the other blogs given you important information and encouragement? If that is true, then you should continue yours for the benefit of someone else.  It is not written for the healthy, but for the sick.  In the same way that Jesus came for the sick not the well.”  WoW!  That made my tears well up.  She also said that all of that came straight from the Lord….it just kept coming as she was typing and she didn’t even have to think about it. (She said her brain is fried, so Lord knows it had to come from somewhere! LOL!)  My dearest friend, Julie, also confirmed that it was a good thing.  She told me that she was proud that I was opening up and sharing…..it’s funny, because I don’t feel like I am sharing much that others don’t already know about me…..I guess my perception is different then what I portray….ummmm…..there is a lesson in that I ‘m sure. :-) I started praying ….I asked God to show me if this was really His will ……was my heart truly doing this for the right reasons.  I opened my Bible for guidance….and no joke….I opened directly to this scripture…. "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, or the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and the needy.” Proverbs 31:8-9  I have met a lot of people who need someone to speak on their behalf about this disease.  They are struggling physically,  financially, and emotionally.  If my blog does nothing else but help them feel they are not alone……that God is there with them…..then it will have served a purpose….a purpose greater then me and my circumstance.  Thanks for reading……by the way…..Give someone a hug today…I’m sure they need it!
