The Story:

This booklet idea was birthed out of my battle with chronic illness. It flowed from the deepest struggles I’ve ever faced, as well as my longings for healing. It was very much written in the depths chronic illness, not on the other side of making it through. Many, many tears flowed in the process of writing.

I served in a one-year internship at Vision of Hope, a residential facility for women. There I met Dr. Mark Shaw, and as I physically struggled to make through my internship, I expressed to him that I felt like there wasn’t much written for chronic illness sufferers.

So he suggested we should write something together. And that’s how it all began…

I personally know the deep difficulty of chronic illness, and I wrestled with how I could be one to write and provide hope of any form for others. I felt like I was barely clinging to hope myself. In my experience, just as when you help someone grieving the loss of a loved one, you have to approach chronic illness sufferers very gently. There is a lot going on. I’ve never felt so intimidated by a project and inadequate to write, and yet so reassured that it was God's timing.

Thanks to Dr. Shaw's prompting, we wrote a resource to help those battling chronic illness. It is by no means comprehensive. But we hope it will provide encouragement and hope for those who are struggling.

If you are battling chronic illness, would you be willing to read it? And if you know someone, would you share this resource with them? We want to get it into the hands of as many people as possible, praying that it would offer compassionate care and hope to those who are suffering.
