That was my goal, too. But I'm not sure whether I can even complete my master's degree with how bad these migraines have gotten. How interesting that you work at a college to provide disability services - that's great.<br /><br />As to my faith, I have struggled greatly through these trials (and that's putting it mildly). I have great family and friends that guide me back to the Lord, when I lose sight of Him. I am truly blessed.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251221896260997647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314571900243142661.post-41799472294042481242010-08-27T19:31:34.808-07:002010-08-27T19:31:34.808-07:00Well Jamie,

But I take what life throws. So, on the topic of purposes in chronic illness - one difference we have is that you have such deep faith. I admire it but I do not share it. I do however have a similar experience to share. Since struggling with chronic illnesses, I have a store of empathetic experience to draw on in dealing with others who are in difficult times, especially through illness. As a teacher in higher ed, I was able to assist students who were acutely or chronically ill or disabled. When I eventually decided to end my career path towards being a professor, it was to take up working in student disability services to help students who have disabilities be in and achieve equal access in college. It is exceptionally rewarding work and I am grateful every day. <br /><br />I am glad you have faith, and glad it gives you hope. I hope your faith helps you find strength to deal with this - it is very difficult and I do feel so much for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
