The "Big Picture" | Arthritis Information

 

You know how many of us wonder why things are happening to us? It is all part of the "Big Picture" God has for us.

Yes, I know you hardly ever hear me say much about God and His Son, but that is because I like to keep that to myself.

Many of us are most likely part of someone elses "Big Picture". Many of do not realize we were/are part of someone elses "picture" until alot of time has passed by, and then we reflect on how what happened or what we done has affected someone elses life, or some can just see what the "Big Picture" is for someone else.

Many people cannot see their own "picture". Meaning they cannot see what God's plan is for them.

For instantce: I got pregnant with my daughter when I was 19 and still had 7 months of school left in order to graduate. I did not know what the reason for my daughter was, until a few years later. It dawned on me that she was brought into this world to help her Granny to make it thru chemo and to not give up on her life, like she had though of doing. With me being pregnant with her first grand-child, she fought and kept going for chemo, so she could live to see her granddaughter. She has told me the only thing that made her to where she did not want to give up on her battle with Hodgekin's Disease was so she could see her very first granddaughter. The two of them to this day are the apple of each other's eye.

I have still yet to figure out why I have been "blessed" with RA, but I do know it is for a special reason.

So just think, what God is trying to tell you about your "Big Picture". Is he trying to help you see it? Or are you apart of someone elses "Big Picture"?

jooniper38603.9891203704I do have a confession to make.....as I have stated before on here, my Mom had a very severe case of RA. She came down with it after giving birth to me. I always felt guilty. I always thought that if she did not have me, her condition would not have been what it was. I had told her this a few times before she passed away. She always told me I was her heart and she would of had me either way. We were very close. I will always miss her. I am not a doctor so I don't know for sure if the pregency was a factor or not. I do know me and my ex had tried for two years to have a child and I could not. Maybe I was not meant to because of the divorce, because of the RA....who knows...where am I going with this? I have no idea.....I do know that if she had not had me and still had the severe RA I think it would of been hard on her because we were each other's support system. I guess maybe that was the bigger picture, who knows. I'm sure she is up in the heavens and can very well relate to what I am going through so she will guide me through.

Hey Joonie,
Iam trying to tell that to my Amber while trying to believe it myself.I have seen what are are saying.Things just kinda of come toghter for reasons.I know I had AMber when I was 19 too.I had just graduated from school,been dating a butthole abuser,became with child and he dumps me after 4 years so did all my friends.But I wa very depressed before AMber and during that time of solitude I found out more about me and discovered Sade.I was a hard rock gal before then,mainly cause dumb butt boyfriend was,but what I am trying to say is Amber gave me a reason to live and put me on the right track.I know she is a gift from God.

Love,
Sheila

I agree with you June.  It may be hard sometimes to see things that way.  We may never know what the big picture is, but I also believe God has a plan for all of us.  Thank you for bringing that up.

Jackie

I agree Jackie.  Life is full of lessons presented to us so we can grow.  Someday I will have this one figured out

I just wanted to say get that out there for some reason. I was just put on my mind for some reason, might find out down the road why
