Anyone who has lived with autoimmune issues will relate with me on this. Getting answers is like two steps forward and three steps back sometimes or at least it feels like it. With each test we hope for an answer, but we end up being referred to some one else. It feels like working on a complex jigsaw puzzle.

I saw the doctor yesterday. I had a positive test for autoimmune but hey maybe it is a false positive. For the issue they said the possible false positive was for I certainly hope it was a false positive. So I am being referred to a specialist. That means more tests. Not something I am jumping for joy over. lol

However, discouragement can chill out. My focus is not on my as of yet undiagnosed autoimmune problem. My focus is on the author and perfecter of our faith as we are encouraged to do in Hebrews 12:

“fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God”

Yes my shoulder still hurts from my accident. Yes I am waiting for yet another appointment to see if something can finally be diagnosed. BUT

Whether I feel good or not. Whether I have energy or not. Whether it is a good day for me or not. The purpose God has called me to is still there. There are refugees and immigrants he wants me to show his love to.

So this morning it is up and ready to go teach without letting on to my students what is going on. Sometime in the next month or so I will see the specialist and who knows maybe finally get an answer. Until then, I have a calling to fulfill.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.

  5. I hear you on this one, it took a good ten years before my daughter Victoria got her first diagnosis on having lupus, and still this day too many doctors from time to time will question it

    1. It is frustrating. How is your daughter now?

      1. She has been diagnosed with seven diseases, she takes one day at a time, some days her pain is so serve but Praise God she is doing her master program on line, she graduated with her BA from Liberty University with a 3,8 GPA

      2. Sorry she has so much pain, but great she doesn’t let it stop her from working toward her goals.
