I will admit that I've been angry about having diabetes. I'm angry because I had no choice in whether or not I got it. This disease has been out of my hands from the beginning.
And I've been angry at God. Well, not totally angry. Mostly just angry about these circumstances.
And as I've mused about my situation, I become more thankful for my faith.
I believe that God became a human being and suffered just the same as you or I. I mean, Jesus didn't have diabetes, but he did go hungry. Jesus wore a crown of thorns and I prick my fingers every day. Jesus bled and so do I. Suffering is a part of humanity.
As we continue into Lent, we should remember that we are not alone in our sufferings. We should strive for imitation of Jesus and look to the saints, our companions, for guidance.
Many blessings,
Elizabeth

Am I going to start posting on a regular schedule again? Probably not until summer.
Am I super pumped about Lent? Yes, I am! It's my favorite season!
Am I disappointing you with a single post and then more silence? More than likely.
I know this was posted a long time ago and your feelings may have or may not have changed since then but I once overheard a wise young priest say "Sometimes it is the ones we love the most that we become angry with." Keep on loving God my dear and stay strong! <3
