I’m Tired of Being One of God’s Strongest Soldiers

I have heard the saying many times throughout my life: “God gives His strongest soldiers His toughest battles.” For years, I received those words as encouragement.

What People Don’t See When You’re Living With a Chronic Illness

Living with a chronic illness is like carrying a backpack that nobody else can see. Some days, the weight is almost unbearable, yet to the outside world, you appear fine. You smile. You participate.
