We've tried both traditional medicine, homeopathic, and eastern medicine. The best results seem to be a combo of the three but that gets to be hard on the family budget. Thanks for posting and encouraging me. I know that we will be pain free if not in this life then the next.richnsamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732891302650776880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175428159714659033.post-77174643534215399312013-04-17T13:44:11.841-05:002013-04-17T13:44:11.841-05:00tears in my eyestears in my eyesScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05918597316625863803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175428159714659033.post-71185497043991972692013-04-10T11:53:13.851-05:002013-04-10T11:53:13.851-05:00Samantha, I also found you through R16:16!

I was finally diagnosed last year with Rheumatoid Arthritis and am receiving treatment. We also home school our two children, our son is 11 and our daughter is 9. I understand the effects that chronic pain can have on the family, it can be hard on kiddos even when we try so hard to shield them from it. I went back and read some of your earlier posts and just wanted to say thank you for the encouragement!

I think I find talking about God one of the hardest things.

We are looking for women from the churches of Christ who are blogging primarily or occasionally blogging about faith. We are hoping to compile a list and organize some mutually beneficial activities, for example guest posting or review some of the blogs on our website. <br /><br />In that regard we had two questions. First would you like to be included on our list? Second do you know any other women who fit this profile? <br /><br />Hoping to hear from you soon,<br /><br />Helene, Melissa and Jane<br /><br />From www.maidservantsofchrist.comHelenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351233138642514117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175428159714659033.post-50503187853768901192013-01-08T10:19:19.410-06:002013-01-08T10:19:19.410-06:00I believe this (not sharing our daily struggles) s...I believe this (not sharing our daily struggles) stems from the selfish, materialistic mindset plaguing even Christians today. Some of us have been rejected or criticized or shunned when we share problems. And I'm not advocating a complaining, poor-pitiful-me attitude. But we should be able to share openly our pains and struggles. <br /><br />People today use materialism (shopping), hobbies (gardening), sports, and work to simply not think about their problems. And believe some are weird for not doing the same.<br /><br />The easy out of divorce and women being told "You don't have to put up with that" has led to us being intolerant of almost any problem. The attitude has become "You upset me, I'll walk away." <br /><br />So, the hurting have wounds left and no one to minister to them. Christians have prioritized their lives around the above (work, sports, hobbies, shopping) to the point that no time is left for what we have been called to do.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this! You're exactly on target.<br /><br />Sheila Hollingheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364884603434329050noreply@blogger.com
