Welcome

Welcome to RA A Walk by Faith. I'm assuming that if you're here, that you have Rheumatoid Arthritis or know someone who does. It is my sincere hope to share my experiences with RA and it's many symptoms so that others may be encouraged, learn something that they may have not known, or just have a place where they can share their hopes, fears, anger, discouragement, depression, or whatever else is on their mind. (did I just make a humongous run-on sentence or what?) I also want to share with you my current therapy. Share with me what works for you, so that you are able to have as near a normal life as one can have with RA.

I can't do that without mentioning the faith part. My faith in Jesus Christ defines who I am. I'll tell you straight up, that without Him I would be very scared. But because of Him I have peace. I won't say that I don't have moments of fear because I do. I also get discouraged, depressed, and fearful for my future. But those moments are becoming more and more fleeting as I focus on the healing I know is coming my way. I saw a church sign on the way back from my doctor last week that said, "In Jesus Christ the victory is won even before the fight has begun". That's true. If you don't believe as I do, that's ok. I want to hear from you anyway. I won't try to "convert you" you either. :) So let's get this blog going.........
