I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis).

I have never started a conversation with that sentence since being diagnosed in 2016. In many ways I don’t want to start talking about me but lets be frank here, when a woman is sitting in and driving a motorized scooter there is obviously something going on. Some people ask what happened, some don’t say anything, while others just give me a wide berth avoiding eye contact.

To say the least MS has changed my life. But do I want MS to totally define me? Absolutely not!

I am a daughter, sister, friend, wife, mom, grandma, cousin the list could go on. The one way that I really do want to be defined as is a Child of God, a daughter of Christ. That began when as a little girl I realized my need of a Savior, Jesus Christ. I knew I wanted to go to heaven and I also knew of my sinful actions that I needed forgiveness. I asked Jesus to be my own personal Savior. He has been my friend, my refuge, my solid rock. He defines me.

Who or what defines you? Do you know? Maybe you don’t want to acknowledge that, because it’s not a good place. Seek out the Jesus of the Bible. Find our great God through the whole book and allow Him to change your life. Let Him be the one that defines you.
