One year, two days.

Sorry, folks. No quote today. But, here's the news. It's been one year and two days since I found out that I have diabetes. Has it been fun? Not really. But the great thing is that God has used this time of difficulty to teach me. God's been teaching me to trust Him.
It's funny how something that has changed my life so greatly has become just a normal thing. I used to think that type one diabetes would be the worst thing in the world to have. But after getting used to giving myself 5 shots a day, pricking my finger too many times, and realizing how my body feels when I'm low and high, I've learned that it's just another way of life. To me, it's only part of life. The "funny" thing about thinking it would be so horrible is I got another disease a month later. Celiac disease. Celiac disease is basically this, my body hates gluten. So I can't eat it, or anything that has ever touched it.
Well, I'm not here to talk about how my life is so horrible. Because, it's not! Not at all. It's so great. I have been blessed with a family and friends who will stick behind me. God is so great! He loves each of us. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. Because Jesus willingly took our sins upon Him, we can have eternal life. It's crazy how things so big, like two diseases, seem so small in comparison to what Jesus did for all of us on the cross.
Life is easy when you have God on your side. Funny, how I say that. Because life isn't easy, it's difficult. But that statement is true. God gives joy even through times of difficulty.
