      With all you have to deal with ,it's unfair that you still have pain .I know that pain I deal with it everyday . The exception is I can still move around . It's crazy that the brain has to deal with that pain even though your bottom half can't feel in a way.
      God bless you for being a strong woman who has your faith to help you
      Please lord lessen that pain she has to go through . 💖🙏

    This lady is really a blessing. I used to listen to her on the radio with Some of her short stories, and they are amazing. Sometimes I forget how others like her are going through a lot more than what I go through in one day. She has to go through this 24/7 365 days a year. She has been discouraged many many times, but has overcome it with the help and grace of God. May God bless her and her ministry.

      It like the ppl who say to homeless ppl, "I'll pray for you." Really? The person is cold, hungry, or wo shelter and that's what you do for them?
      Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back for being such a good Christian. 😠

And then we will understand! It’s so sad, and we always hold out hope for healing, but soon and very soon, if we know Christ, we Will understand! And give Glory to our King! God Bless Joni! She has suffered long, but what a beautiful person, a beautiful example of trusting and hoping in God! She has never wavered! I hope she has lived a full and blest life since her accident so long ago. She’s such an inspiration as I’m sure your beloved father was! May God bless you and comfort you!🌸♥️

      Belov-ed Sister thru Christ, I greet you with a kiss from me and our Lord, I am a little bit older than you..a year or 2. When my mother told me of this teen who was paralyzed from diving...I wept silently, immediately ! I was a high diver...into a local quarry that flooded. You have been in my prayers ALL my life! I no longer high dive. Your story is INCREDIBLE The next dive I made, about 28 feet up, I got the jitters. It was my last high dive. 😢. You are a fabulous inspiration to me ❤thru the years Your love of God is healing ! I'll be looking for YOU in heaven, where we can walk the shores of Galilee . Luv you Joni. !

I've been to 47 countries, sharing Jesus with my small influence in the world. Just yesterday i returned from 2 months in Colombia. I bring my guitar, write songs to Jesus in their language, and worship at coffee shops, in people's houses, where I'm staying, inviting people for dinner etc. So much love and grace has been shared back and forth, encouraging people that Jesus rose so we could walk (or roll) with Him again! Thank you for choosing to be an inspirational voice for Jesus. You have made a difference!

    I suffer with chronic neuropathy in my legs and feet and it's a pain like most don't understand. Very different and so hard to live with. You are in my prayers.

      If I may suggest a long flat women's thin maxi pad some castor oil on the pad with cayenne pepper . Make sure it's enough for the bottom of your feet use gauze to secure it to your foot then put socks on for the night. That helps with neuropathy the next day and repeated as many times as you need it it does help .
      ( wash it off your feet every morning)

      My son has this and he's finding it difficult to get medication to help. It's hard to see him in pain some days. He also holds down a full time job with a lot of responsibilities. That does take his mind off some of the severe, burning pain. ❤❤

    Mike he dove in a shallow lake just like you. My sister was his nurse. We didn’t know it at the time. He shared about his amazing incredible nurse Lisa who gave him hope. I found out later it was my Sister. You encouraged him beyond words that night. He too was paralyzed and despairing.
    Your in my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🦋🦋
    I can’t wait to meet you in heaven where you will be dancing singing rejoicing swimming riding horses..
    Beautiful Joni 🌹🌹

    I learned of your injuries after an automobile wreck mu husband, sister & I were in, in 1978. A man ran a stop sign, & hit our car right at the driver's/my husband's door. He died instantly, & my sister and I were not expected to live through the night. Praise God, we lived. My sister had a broken collarbone, ruptured spleen & collapsed lungs. Both of my legs were broken, my jaw was broken, left side paralyzed, in a coma, & my face was badly cut from my husband's head slamming into mine (says the first responders). Thank God, I have no recollection of the wreck. God gave me a testimony that I can easily share & share Him with anyone. Before the wreck, I was too shy to do that. It was an answer to prayer! Joni, you showed me 2 Corinthians 12:9 - "For My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness!" His grace is sufficient, & He will carry us through anything with His peace that passes all understanding! Thank you, Joni, for sharing your amazing, blessed testimony with us. I've prayed for you since hearing about your accident! God bless you and your family always and all-ways!! ♥️🙏♥️

    Joni , I believe that Abba God allowed me to watch & hear this video regarding your back & nervous system w / pain ; I can only relate to the muscles in my back , etc , due to
    sleeping on a mattress that causes pressure
    points , tightness also I have osteopenia.
    You have to go through so much more than
    I have & it’s truly a miracle how Abba God
    has sustained you & strengthened your faith
    & to Know how to trust Him every day. I’m
    truly grateful to God to remind me of how
    you have overcome your health conditions
    & have a ministry that He continues to guide you & minister to many lives . God bless you,
    family & ministry ✝️🙏🏼❣️

    Believe for your healing , Sweet Sister. I had a severe stroke that took my facial muscles, my left side and my ability to talk. I asked God to heal me in the hospital. He says never ask me to heal you again because I healed you on my son’s cross. Now he said thank me for your healing and tell your body what it needs to do. So that’s exactly what i did. And in 40 days you could not tell i had had a stroke! I listened to Him. I’m praying He will show you the path to your healing and you find faith for it. Praying. 🥰⭕️❌

    • @coachwendy5618
      @coachwendy5618 2 месяца назад

      That's a wonderful testimony and I'm sure that Joni appreciates your faith in God. If you research her testimony, you'll find that she spent some time in her life trying to be healed by faith, but it didn't happen. She has shared that God wanted her to learn to cope with her situation by learning to put her faith in God each day to get her through. Sometimes God heals us by faith, but sometimes He uses our situation to understand what others are going through so that we can encourage others who need it no matter where they are in life. Just as Paul asked to be healed of his infirmity and God let him know that His grace is sufficient, we too need to realize that even when God doesn't heal us the way that we want, His grace is sufficient.
