I listened to an
inspiring message today. Stephanie Nielson. I have heard
her story before but it really touched me today. I have been in a kind-of slump with my mood lately. My undiagnosed problems have me thinking crazy thoughts. Nothing to weird, just the normal 'woe is me' and 'what am I going to do with myself'. I have had four episodes since October last year. So it's pretty much for sure that I have or will have
M.S. Yeah, it sucks. I feel like I'm just waiting for another episode to start. I know, it's no way live. But as I was listening to Stephanie talk about her life and how she knows who she is and she is not her body I connected with her and felt like I was the most selfish person on the face of the earth, next to B.O. My name is Stefanie Burningham and I am not my body. Though I have felt lots of pain it's not all the time and I can still be a mother and a great example of faith and courage. I know
who I am and I know God's plan. I have a great purpose and work to do here on this earth. I love my husband and my kids. They make me so happy! They are my purpose. I have hope. I can do it and do it great. I am incredible:
yay me!

Go Stef! What a great post. Thanks for sharing.
I always feel inspired after reading Stephanie's blog as well! It makes me strive to be a better wife, and mother! She takes advantage of every opportunity to live life, despite her injuries and the pain she lives with everyday! Have you been back to the doctors yet? It's hard to get a diagnosis when you don't go-girl! Maybe you have in the past couple weeks, and I just haven't heard! But, I recommend seeing the doctor again. Sometimes, it's the not knowing that causes so much fear and sadness! Whatever it is, we are here for you!!!!!!!!
you are awesome!!i hope we can see you a little more now that we'll be in CA.
