CHRONIC ILLNESS
As we journey through diagnoses and treatment plans, loss and isolation, sadness and grief, we can also discover the gifts of laughter, joy, and hope along the way. [Chronic Pain • Shame in Illness]
CAREGIVERS
A caregiver’s role can be rewarding and exhausting, difficult and joy-filled, meaningful and frustrating, isolating and inspiring—discovering God’s joy as you care for your loved ones.
MENTAL ILLNESS
Stigma, isolation, loneliness, and shame often follow a diagnosis of mental illness. With God, mental illness has no stigma. You are His precious child, deeply loved and fully accepted. [Anxiety • Depression]

Infusions of Hope
Rediscovering My Purpose in a Life of Chronic Illness
I am rediscovering my purpose as defined by the Word, not the world. Nothing can thwart God’s purpose for me as I trust in Him.
When the Pain is too Painful
Have you ever experienced something so painful that you wanted to shut down and never turn back on? Have you ever felt so crushed that, at least for the moment, you couldn’t imagine ever getting back up? For me, in between the screams that the spasms triggered, the only words I could muster were, “God, help me! God, help me! God, help me!”
Connecting with God through Creativity
As we create, we connect with God, our Creator! We get to spend time with Him – a place of peace, and hope, a place where time gets lost.
