Title: Hi...new here too! Post by: pam4him on October 18, 2004, 01:30:59 AM Hi everyone!
I am really glad that I have found this forum...it seems like there are a lot of wonderful people here. My name is Pam and I live in Illinois. I've had health problems most of my life but I rely on God's Grace to get me through them. I was born with a genetic kidney disease and have had 2 transplants-one of them has lasted almost 30 yrs.- :) I know that God has had a hand in that! I also have a congenital heart defect and a seizure disorder, but both are pretty well under control. Besides my transplants, I have had two knee replacements and cataracts removed because of the medicines I have to take. I live by Romans 8:28...it is so comforting to know that my sufferings are looked upon as meaningful in God's eyes. I love to draw flowers and I guess you could say that is a ministry of mine- I make greeting cards and give them to my family, friends and others and always put "my" Bible verse on the back-I hope that people will see that even though they have trials in life, God can and will use them if they are willing. I have four BEAUTIFUL nieces :) :) :) :) whom I love like they were my own kids and am so happy that they are growing up knowing Jesus! I am just so glad to be here among friends! :) Thank you for listening to my story.... Love and Prayers, Pam Title: Re:Hi...new here too!

Sister Pam, thank you sincerely for sharing your testimony with us. I love to hear how God works, even through illness and pain. Many of us have had serious illness, including me. It was during those times that I was closest to Jesus and grew stronger in HIM. I am left with nothing but thanks and more thanks to Jesus for being with me every step of the way. I especially give thanks that our hope and joy for eternity is not in these weak and sickly bodies of clay. In short, I simply love to say: KEEP LOOKING UP! and THANKS BE UNTO GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAKABLE GIFT! (http://www.sirinet.net/~blkidps/welcome.gif) Sister, I look forward to reading your posts. Love In Christ, Tom |
