MS

This week is National Multiple Sclerosis week, and I feel the need to at least mention it. For many reasons, but the most important being that my life for whatever reason has crossed it's path...and cleared it. Praise the Lord it did. But, I have also crossed paths with many people who did not clear that path. Who are deep in the trenches of fighting a horrible debilitating disease. One that robs you of simple things like walking and running. I was so scared last year to even think I MAY have it for about 6 months when all the tests were done. It is scary. And there is no cure. Since God has brought this into my life, I feel a giant pull towards these people. The people who brave a life with a disease that they have no clue what will do to them. And each of these people has a face, and a family, and a life. The courage of these people is incredible. So, I will do whatever I can to raise awareness of this diesease. I will run the races, do the walks, and raise money however I can. Because my heart has been opened to the faces that looked back at me all last year. It's those faces that make it something I will choose to never forget. MS = people with amazing courage, who are fighting their way to remain in control of their bodies, who are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, and people who deserve a chance to live their lives.
