I'll be honest, it doesn't take long for me to feel depressed when this happens. One of my biggest complaints is that I feel useless. I want to be doing things, making a difference in the world, helping others...
I believe that God could heal me at any moment but He hasn't because He has bigger plans for me. Something that can only be accomplished with me still being sick. Being sick has given me a new perspective on what's really important in life and has taught me how to really enjoy the small things. I've learned how to live in the moment more and appreciate how fragile life is.
Being sick has shaped me as a person and I really like the person I am today. While I would DEFINITELY choose to be healthy if I had a choice, I don't regret the person I've become through living with chronic illness.
