The Kaleidoscope of Illness
So many diagnoses became a kaleidoscope of illness, painting a pattern that could no longer be ignored. Chronic illness had spun into view.
Executive Director and Co-Founder of Chronic Joy®
Pamela, a leader and a visionary following God's call to inspire those affected by chronic illness, mental illness, and chronic pain, believes that every precious life impacted by illness is both vital and purposed.
Pamela is a wife of more than 35 years, the mom of three married children, and a grandma of six. She is diagnosed with chronic migraines and other chronic conditions. She enjoys baking sourdough bread and chocolate chip cookies, drinking hot tea, being outdoors, and reading (almost always more than one book at a time).

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Being still is a call to stop fighting, to be still and to cease fighting a battle...
This lament from Psalm 31 stopped me in my tracks. Those words, written so long ago, speaks to my experience with chronic illness even today. Perhaps you can identify too?
Not a single second is wasted when we are still and take our hearts, hopes, and dreams before the Lord. Praying aligns us with the Lord's heart.
