I don't know who I am

I have been living with this pain for so long that I don't know what it feels like to be without it. It is hard to move on from something I have been used to. I just feel like taking a long nap, wake up, and start from the beginning.

I am not sure what is causing you pain. I am sorry you are suffering this way. To a certain extend you could start over again and make your life go a different path you are not stuck even if it feel this way. Take care of yourself, go slowly and listen to your needs.

Best wishes!

I’m so sorry you’re in this season of pain for so long. I pray God will release you from your pain. Remember you are who God says you are. Let Him, not your feeling define who you are. You are wonderfully made. Read the book of Ephesians 1 & 2 in your bible or online. Write down everything He says you are and remind yourself of it daily.

Ephesians 1: 3-8 excerpt

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

By God, the Father, I am:

• BLESSED in the heavenly realm with every blessing of Jesus Christ. (v.3)

• CHOSEN before the creation of the world (v.4)

• ADOPTED in love, as His child through Jesus Christ. (v.5)

• ACCEPTED/FAVORED through His grace. (v.6)

• REDEEMED in grace through the blood of Jesus Christ (v.7)

• FORGIVEN in grace through the blood of Jesus Christ (v.7)

I truly hope this helps.

At first that sounded so good but then I realized the enemy you know is better than the enemy you don’t know. My baseline pain level on any given day is why people came into the ER I used to work in. Even the ER docs would say that. I had a brain bleed while working. That hurt.

But......I know this pain. I started not to even look before I crossed the street. My son said I’ll just get hurt and have daily pain in another place. This pain has become like a piece of body others don’t have. I got to know it and how it will act. I’m going to make it work with me.

Take care of yourself and tell it that you are in control.
