going public

the response to "going public" with my rheumatoid arthritis and this blog has been outstanding.  the encouragement, kind words, thoughtful questions, and prayers are just priceless.  what a gracious reminder of the gift of church community and relational support.  in the midst of an isolating disease, I don't feel quite so alone anymore.

with that being said, I also want to apologize for my awkwardness when discussing this part of my life in person.  I really need to work on fine tuning those communication skills, as I feel myself getting really uncomfortable and flustered by this vulnerability.  

so thank you! (and I'm sorry.)

I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
Ephesians 1:16
