I decided that I would use my story to encourage others. I have taken up public speaking, something I always wanted to do and receive enormous joy from making a difference in somebody else’s life. Sometimes my only purpose is to make others feel grateful about their own challenges and that’s ok. I always say, it is no use crying over what I think I have lost, I rather do the best I can today, with what I have today. I choose to live my best life now, despite my circumstances. I choose to make a positive difference for others. “I fear no evil, because I know the Captain of my Ship; He still calms the storms today.” I am anchored in the knowledge of who I am in Christ and what I am capable of in Christ. I fear no evil, because I know the Captain of my Ship; He still calms the storms today.` http://www.amanda-faith-hope-love.com/ Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system, interfering with nerve impulses within the brain, spinal chord and optic nerves.
