New Chapter

Image
 "You are loved beyond measure"  -Romans 8:38- The new title "Foster Mom" gave me chills all throughout my body.  I knew that God was calling me to a new chapter in my life. As doors were slowly closing for the past year at the clinic.  When I first came to the Clinic...I wasn't serving Jesus like I knew I should've been. My mindset was "All these people calling Jesus a Healer, and He decides to not heal my body. Some Healer He truly is."  I quickly fell in love with the kids at the clinic, and my struggles suddenly became "no big deal".  I found myself being able to relate to my two first kids so well. Speech therapy time would come, and they would cry. I felt that deep in my soul. I probably would've cried too!  Fact: In my 20's I had to learn speech all over again.

Two Different Journeys One Great God

  We all, at some point, want to meet someone who understands or relates to what we are going through in life. In our case, that would be people who understand how exhausting life gets when living with a condition called Dystonia. In this post you’ll read about how two Christian women who can resonate over certain aspects of everyday life while living with different types of Dystonia, have connected through Facebook.                         Hi, everyone. My name is Chelsi Christman and this is my journey through life with Dystonia. At a young age my hands started shaking. As I got older my body started moving more and more. Not knowing what was wrong, I saw a Neurologist who told my parents I would outgrow it. Outgrow what? We didn’t even have a name or a diagnosis. We started seeing every doctor under the sun—with no luck! During my teen years I really struggled. I knew there was something wrong with me but doctors just k...
