Heather walked through 4 years of Lyme Disease, and brings so much hope and encouragement to this discussion on chronic illness.  She answers questions such as: How did friends encourage you during your illness? What encouragement can you offer someone who is battling undiagnosed health issues? What is the balance of praying for God to deliver you, but also the human effort needed to find a solution? How can someone with chronic illness still minister in the church? And, how do you deal with the fear of not being an adequate helpmeet to a future spouse?
