Hello again! It has been quite awhile since my last post. I started a new job in June and have been enjoying the challenge of learning my new position while balancing my health!
I’m still not sure what that balance looks like, but I had the opportunity to present at America’s Best Hope Conference in Indianapolis in November.
In the past I haven’t shared much about my faith and how it has shaped my struggle with Crohns Disease, truthfully, I had the fear of alienating readers, but I think this is the perfect opportunity to share . Below is the speech I gave at the conference about how God has shaped me using my disease.
Hi my name is Sarah Brocker and I have Crohn's Disease. I've got 8 scars and am missing two feet of intestines and my life isn't normal, but whose life is normal? I want to use my experiences to help you, even if it means sharing embarrassing experiences. I am also looking to break the stigmas associated with IBD in order to make living with IBD just a little bit easier. All I want to do is help, so please, let ME help YOU!
