I was just sent a link to this series. I’ve recently been undiagnosed/declared free of a disease (hypoglycemia) I supposedly have been battling for 10 years (since age 10). After lots of blood work, a fiasco at Costco complete with EMS, lots of begging God, and being covered by the prayers of our friends… the Dr. has concluded that all these years I have actually been battling anxiety. Panic attacks. My brain doesn’t know what to think. It’s been a week since we uncovered this and my mind, heart & body are completely weary. Today, I am finally seeing hope. Scripture + total reliance on Him = slowly re-training my mind to comprehend this new reality. Yet still not accepting that I will live with this forever. In Him, we have victory! I will not sit still.

Thank you so much for being a transparent vessel for His use!

Hey Shaun, I doubt you have been waiting for an update on pins and needles, LOL, but I have to tell you about the Lord. I finally told someone what was happening and after having some very frank conversations about things, she encouraged me to pray through my house. I won’t go into all of the details, but the Lord and I have been plowing some major stuff in my life the last 3 months. I had prayed about some very specific and emotional things right before this period of darkness erupted and she believed I needed to “clean house.” I admit to thinking it was a longshot and expected nothing. However, as I prayed I felt stronger and could feel it falling off of me. When I woke up this morning it was completely gone. Praise the Lord!!!! Thank you for your prayers and your patience.

Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. For everything. Strangely, and I hate to say this because I’m sorry you went through what you did, but it is a comfort to know you understand and are praying. So many people, especially in the church, think it’s a choice and people need to choose to “get over it.” Anyway, sorry to ramble. Just know I am sincere in my thanks.

Forgiven. Of course. Praying you through the darkness.

I don’t even know if you will get this since it’s on an older post. I might have been too hard on you yesterday and I’m sorry. I don’t want to put this on the other thread because I don’t want it to be that public. I am so in this place right now. It is a battle I thought I would never have to fight again and something I can not share with anyone in my “real” life. Losing the ability to fake it and drowning. The darkness is coming to take away my soul. I try to run, but there’s nowhere to hide.

Either way, today as I have come face to face with the beast and realized he is winning, I realized I was probably taking it out on you. I am sorry. Please forgive me.
