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...

March Rain

What a beautiful day today.  I am not sure I want to go outside, but it looks pretty.  I am so thankful for the rain last night; helps me sleep and my bed is now next to the window (so I have more to maneuver with the walker) and the rain was even louder than usual.

As much as I love the rain, it is painful.  I couldn't open a bottle this morning(very frustrating) and getting out of bed was hard because of the stiffness.  (thank goodness my pharmacy knows me well enough to know the 'easy open caps' notation is for real...I can't begin to imagine how to open child safety caps)  I am truly blessed that the rain and weather doesn't affect me as badly as some others I know with AS.

I am truly blessed beyond belief and know that I serve a God who has brought me to a challenge to strengthen me and those around me. He is constantly showing me new things I never would have known without the disease.
