Dani-Rae, I am a 43 year female with MS also. Your comments about being an atheist really struck a nerve with me. I pray that God touches you in such a personal way in a personal experience during your life that you know without a doubt that he is alive well and the King of Kings. I saw an ad one day on tv several years ago of an atheist group and there on the front line was about a nine year old girl. I've never forgot it>  I felt so sad for her, no hope , no belief, and this is what  this child is taught by her loving parents.I had these same feelings when reading your comment. I am so thankful that God has shown me personal miracles and that I have a real relationship with Him that I have truly felt his presence in my life. I am Blessed! I dont feel sorry that you also have MS, I feel sorry that you have let Satan decieve you to this point. You will definitely be in my prayers and I hope that if you have the oppurtunity you will hear with your own heart the voice of Our heavenly father and just believe before you die. The stripes on his back are representive of our healing not necessary in the physical body because it will turn to dust but our spiritual being which will be forever.You have a soul that will never die. Sincerely, A Christian Heart (a unworthy Sinner saved by grace ) who will be praying for you and will surely never forget your remarks. I've said what God put on my heart to say to you. I wish you well.
