A few days later, I was crying to my husband and told him that I wanted to "give up". Moments later, I felt the impression to go read that book. Tears streamed down my face and I knew I was meant to read it. I recommend it to anyone who is dealing with the process of healing chronic illness.
More importantly though, I think it is so cool how we can be personally inspired to read something that is just what we need, when we need it. The process of healing chronic illness (and "life" as well) is all about seeking for that personal guidance to help us make it through and learn the lessons we need to learn along the way.
On a side note...
Being the mormon girl that I am, you wouldn't expect for me to be reading a book by Joyce Meyer. In fact, many people think that mormons are not Christian, which is completely untrue. I think there is some great insight, truth, and hope to be found in many places, and I am thankful that I was lead to that book at a time when I truly needed it.
