Being sick sucks. There are few upsides of being chronically ill. When I flare ups or catch a virus, sometimes I spend all day in bed.
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...

Even though there is little I can actually do while I'm incapacitated, I realized there is still a way I can make a difference to others. Having a positive attitude and counting my blessings instead of dwelling on my losses can encourage others in their circumstances.
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.
