I was going to write this post and say how excited I am to be featured on the Lupus Foundation's website after I wrote about the fifty year anniversary of the last drug released to specifically treat lupus.
And then I read some of the other stories. They make what I wrote seem almost flippant and jaunty. Awful. I feel awful.
My heart is so sad to read about all the pain and heartache that lupus has caused so many others. I'm also afraid that these types of lupus flare-ups will one day happen to me. My flares have been extremely mild compared to some of these other stories, and mild compared to my own parents' flares. I'm scared, y'all. Pray for the researchers, doctors and families.

I still pray for you five times every week.
Five times every week.
Lupus is but a wisp of dust to the God who owns the world.
"He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you shall take refuge; his truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you." Psalm 91:4-7
Never feel bad about writing from your own experiences. Humor always brings a smile during a painful time. I am sure your words hit home with many others. Don't doubt yourself. Praying for you!
I may have been away from blogging for a couple of weeks, but you haven't been far from my thougths and prayers...
Only the best for you and yours.
Your story wasn't flippant and you have nothing to feel awful about. Your story was about hope and a desire for more. We each deal with our own pain individually.
I am proud of you for being featured....that means what you have to say resonates with others....not at all that you are flippant! Continue to write from your own experiences....you will reach others who are feeling the same!
