I know this flare will go away. I am looking forward to the day it does. I know that this flare, like many others that I've had...will soon pass away. But I am in pain, hurting, stiff, and concerned.
My husband and I have launched a new outreach ministry in our area. We have done a lot of planning and the website is out as of this week. Yet...as excited as this is...my concern is if I will be able to keep up with the demands of this ministry.
When my husband called me today(he is at a local conference for Pastor and Musicians) he was all excited and overjoyed about the information he'd received and what we needed to do for the ministry now. HONESTLY...I tried to feel uplifted and excited...but a small thread has been running through me...AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS...BECAUSE OF THE RA!
I know he felt my pain...because he was quick to get off the phone. Not because he didn't want to talk...but because I didn't want to talk about ministry! NOT NOW!
I trust in the Lord...I know that this too shall pass...but I know I have to be honest with myself...I am in a flare...and it is okay. The meds will kick in soon...and this time of the FLARE FROM HELL will go! But...my underlying concern still remains!
Roblyn oh, if you'd like to visit the website...it is ghmva.org Roblyn I'm so sorry you're feeling like this
Maybe a bit more prednisone would help...just to get you out of this flare. Hey your website looks great! I've bookmarked it so I can go back and read it in a bit. I must say though, that you and your husband are a nice looking couple! I hope you're feeling better soon Roblyn

Roblyn~have faith that the Lord will give you the strength you need to spead his word. You know as well as I do that this is Gods plan for you and your husband; the Lord lead you to it.....he will lead you through it. Stay positive and be thankful everyday for the strength God grants you to keep you going. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me!! Say that over and over to yourself everytime you feel yourself doubting your ability......and don't be afraid to rest when you need to. You don't have to be super woman. Best of Luck with the ministry. The website looks great. Roblyn God has a special role for you in the new ministry. It may not be what you had previously expected or understood, but there is a plan for you. Maybe it has to do with a specific audience for your ministry - an audience that you would not reach without going through this RA thing. An audience that you would not understand fully without going through this pain. God has it all under control. I feel for you! Wondering about our future is overwhelming at times. I believe that God gave me RA for a reason, and that I should'nt question it. I try to ask that he shows me the way to follow his plan and to use my RA to help others somehow. And I sure ask for him to give me strenght all the time. Hang in there, things will work out! Love your website and the pictures--just gorgeous!! I get frustrated at times with the RA but I know God gave it to me for a reason and no matter how bad I feel, He will not put more on me than I can withstand. There is a reason for what you are going through right now and it will all come together in time. Best of luck with the ministry and keep the faith!!
