Hey Pam! I had a weird spiritual experience last evening, It is probably wishful thinking but I’d like to think it is real and perhaps it is and your above God post reminded me of it.

The impression was God doesn’t view us the way we view ourselves nor how he plans nice things for us. It was nice to feel this instead of my physical pain.

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, it is hard to get started, maybe put your favorite music on and then the chair exercises, I mentioned above.
Best wishes. 😘

Try pilates, were gloves and bring your own mat to cover the surface, pilates has been a life saver for me along with my 4 miles walk, 💖

Hi Linda, God can do those things. I love that you heard God speaking to you.
God doesn't view us the way we view ourselves, I believe you are correct.
I talk to myself a lot and I do believe God intercedes me during the painful days.
Such a good feeling. God bless you, Linda. 💘
