I have lived a life full of pain, sorrow and sickness, but I have also lived a life filled with love, grace, and restoration. My life is a true testament to the Lord's faithfulness.
10 years ago I was struck with terrible chronic, invisible illnesses (POTS, Dysautonomia, Fibromyalgia, EDS); causing my life to be turned upside down, and ultimately leading me to drop out of high school at the age of 16, in the middle of my sophomore year. I was on bed rest for 2-3 years.
In those years, I saw my life flash before my eyes more times than I can count, I witnessed my body failing as each second passed, I experienced a loneliness I had never known before, and I lost everything. My health, my friends, my life; heck- I even lost a lot of my hair at one point.
I lost everything,
I gained the one thing I had been missing the whole time:
Jesus.
My story is about pain. My story is about beauty. My story is about Jesus.
I have lived through storms, clouds, rainbows, and sunshine.
This is my story. He is my story. He is my Sunshine.
xoxo,
