Profession:

lay pastor, Chronic Illness support group leader

About Me:

I currently serve as a member of our pastoral team at a non-denominational church of 3500, primarily in the areas of teaching and counseling. 8 years ago, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease which led me to lead a monthly Chronic Illness/Pain support group. I am the wife of an ER doctor and the mom to 4 adult children.

What I hope to gain from this network...

I hope to give and receive information and inspiration that will enable me to encourage and uplift those like myself that suffer from a chronic illness.

Best Recommended Resource and Why

Rest Ministries: It has provided the foundation for starting our Chronic Illness group and has helped me personally in my journey with Parkinson's disease.

Have you heard of Rest Ministries or HopeKeepers?

Yes - I am a HopeKeeper leader in St. Louis, Mo.

It is so encouraging to meet peopple who really "get it". There's so much that you "don't" have to say. By the way, I love your picture! It's much nicer than your 'grey one'. xo

Silly, isn't it? How are you ever managing all the responsibilities and challenges of your life? What would you say is your greatest struggle at this point? Is there anything in particular that I can pray for you? My own emotions always seem to crash against the truth of the word lately, and I am living minute by minute trying to release MY wants and MY will into The Lord's capable hands. Also, as my birthday looms (tomorrow) I wrestle with having faith and grieving the dream of conceiving a child. Hopes/ambitions/ and what I truly felt as God's leading are colliding with my emotions and my current circumstances. I confess that at this time I'm not sure where the Lord wants me to go, and He seems so silent!
