Like Sean said we appreciate any comments regardless of how old they are. It’s nice to know there are others who struggle with the same issues within the “Christian Umbrella” as me :)

Hey Sophie,
I can relate so well to what you have written. Especially the “Christian” part. I am a believer, too, and I feel like I should really get myself together and somehow or other deal with this whole thing and meet some decision - either a life in which I am dancing and being “normal” on the outside and maybe even healed on the inside one day or a life in wheelchair. I guess if I don’t start to work really hard and with all I can on my body I will eventually really be using a chair without me doing any body modification… my spine is getting worse and worse.
So this is the time in which I really need a decision. Do I let things go and be happy ever after? Or wouldn’t I be? And this is where I need God to show me the way… I really hope he does help me because I really want to do what he has planned for my life.
Oh sorry, actually I just wanted to leave some “I feel ya’s” here and now I started talking about my own situation… I guess I really need some talking right now. ;)
I hope you forgive me.
Love, Jule

Sophie,
When you begin to deal with the religion/church/God/thing try and keep in mind that no where in the bible does it say “thou shalt not desire to be disabled”. Frankly I look at it under the same heading as breast enlargements, or wanting to change the color of your hair. God wants a relationship. He realizes none of us are perfect. Try to do what is right and trust God to forgive the wrongs that you do. Beyond that, just accept yourself.
