One day at a time...

I serve a powerful God that continuously pours out his blessings, for that I rejoice. And I am so richly blessed. I also carry in this earthly body, a disease for which He has not revealed the cure. I am living with a progressive form of rheumatoid arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis, this blog is a record of the everyday struggles and triumphs of this life altering disease. I try to remain faithful and give thanks to a God that gives me each new day. This is about my journey and taking it one day at a time...

How did I get here?

I know I am exactly where I should be in my life, but I still end up some days wondering why me? Why do I get to live in almost constant pain? How did surgery become my only option at 28?

I will never know why, but each day I get out of bed and hope for the best.  I find comfort in the internet community I have discovered.  People that completely understand the disease and all the physical and emotional pains that come along with a chronic illness.

This particular blog, by an awesome AS advocate is a perfect description of the way each and every day feels:

One day there will be a cure and if not, at least a better understanding of the disease and how to live a normal life with the disease.
