In my early 30s, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and told there were no clear answers as to why it had developed, only that my body was “attacking itself” and that I would likely need immunosuppressant medication for the rest of my life.I remember feeling angry, confused, and quietly hopeless. The narrative I was given left me believing my body had failed me, that something inside me was fundamentally broken. I felt betrayed by my own body and terrified of what the future might hold.Yet deep down, something didn’t sit right. I couldn’t accept that the body God designed was simply defective or working against itself. I felt there had to be more to the story.That diagnosis wasn’t the end of my journey. It was the beginning of my search.
