    This posting was important. And that was a good way to explain how migraine (and many other chronic illnesses) can effect daily life. Your last paragraph is SO vital. This will help people know better how to pray for you and your family, and to encourage you.

    A symptom of a condition I live with is being indecisive. The choices you have had to make this weekend would drive me batty.

    I’m so sorry to hear that many missionaries deal with “major health issues”. Not that it was a shock to me.

    Love & prayers,
    Grandma C.

    Thanks for sharing, Jim….it does help us to know how to pray for you and the family. Yes, we all need to rely on the grace and mercy and wisdom of God for every moment of life. May God continue to give you the physical and spiritual strength to continue serving Him there in the midst of these challenges!

    Love & prayers,

    My hope is that this post will help others better understand what you really go through with these migraines…I know it has definitely helped me…

    Shari: I hope so too. It is hard for even close family members to really understand what those with chronic illnesses like Jim’s go through. It’s really “a family illness” just like when Nathanael had his physical challenges.

    May the Lord give you all special grace and peace.
