My name is Jessica, my friends have other names for me (hence the username), but you can call me Jess. In July of 2009 I was diagnosed with a mild form of Crohn's disease. I think Wikipedia does a good enough job explaining it as "is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, causing a wide variety of symptoms." Since my diagnosis, I have been poked and prodded, and had every test under the sun ran on my digestive system. I guess, the purpose of this blog is to share what I have learned along the way, encourage any of you who may be dealing with a chronic and incurable illness, describe the work God has done on my heart along the way, and provide you all with a little comic relief about dealing with crohn's disease. If I have learned anything so far, it is that God does in fact have a fantastic sense of humor. I am living proof.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:9

"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance."
Ecclesiastes 3:1&4 -"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens:...a time to weep and a time to laugh,a time to mourn and a time to dance,"
