To imagine what you are going through and what could go through, should make every man more humble. You are stronger than me brother and, yes, quite the sailor. You ended your story strong which is the great part. Even through all the turmoil, you still seek God. That's what matters! Continue to have Faith that God DOES have a plan and purpose for your life. And he WILL use the rough waters to change other peoples lives. Stay strong brother! <br />Hit me up by email, I'd like to talk more. <br />manturity@yahoo.comManturityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125020215678025672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707947842183381404.post-84506152877992854512012-11-08T11:53:20.116-08:002012-11-08T11:53:20.116-08:00Please bear with me as I write this. It is still ...Please bear with me as I write this. It is still very difficult for me to tell. Approx. 4years ago, I was diagnosed with Myotonic Dystrophy. It is a form of Muscular Dystrophy that causes the muscles to spasm and not release. I have been told my specialists that, due to progression estimates, I wont reach 50. That is rough to hear when I turn 30 next year. I used to be crazy hyper because of ADHD. As you can see, this combo of disorders makes for a depressing day. I am always hyper but yet cant exercise because it will exacerbate the condition and deteriorate the muscles faster. I often have questioned God. Why me? Why my Dad? You let him die from this. Why?? I dont have any answers and they are not for me to know. If rough waters makes a sailor better, then I must be becoming a master sailor. I dont know what God has in store for me, but I will continue to seek His will and try to be to the best of my ability, the Godly man that I am supposed to be. That is the only purpose I can find but oh what a purpose to have.robert emerynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707947842183381404.post-76124247042940678512012-11-02T16:18:37.364-07:002012-11-02T16:18:37.364-07:00Thanks for sharing Ryan!

But, again, he is faithful to bring on the calm waters and teach us through the process. Your story is a great inspiration to me and so many others.Manturityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125020215678025672noreply@blogger.com
