I'm confident

My consultations with the Rheumatologist and Respirologist were great. Great because it's all good news. My medications have not changed but my lung function test is showing some slight improvements. Being on 2.5mg of prednisone, my Respirologist confirmed that the improvements are not drug induced but my body healing itself. While she would like to see me come off the drug altogether, the Rheumatologist would rather I stay and prefers 5mg - because that is what all her patients do! However, I am on the same side as my body - stay on 2.5mg and continue to walk by faith. I know that I am better, my body feels better, my spirit is lifted, I'm confident that I am healing ... faith is calling those things that be not as though they are .... once you have the witness on the inside of you. My body bears witness with my spirit, so I am confident!!

Romans 15: 14 - 15
Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God.

The good news

Psalm 40:9
I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know.

The good news is that it is ten months on and all is going well. I am keeping my fingers crossed and looking forward to a clean bill of health soon despite my inabilities. I am confident that someday I will go mountain climbing, bike riding, skiing, hiking, running, swimming and I will even run marathons again. I will also sing and shout at the top of my voice once again!

By faith, I am no longer in the valley of the shadow of death and no autoimmune disease will keep me down. I will arise and go forth in the name of the Lord of host. Thank you all for your prayers and support. My heartfelt prayers goes to all those people out there suffering from autoimmune diseases. I pray that you will all find the healer and your healing will last.

Here's a link to some wonderful praise and worship music to keep your spirit up:
