Time for a Change:

I believe its time for a change... I have changed the name of my blog to Chronic Pain Survival.   This blog will be for everyone...   In this group we will post about learning to live one day at a time. My name is Matt Williams and I have suffered and survived chronic pain, anxiety, depression, PTSD (not just a veteran thing), divorce and many more personal issues going on 27 years now. I dont have all the answers, but together we will find answers. This group has been created to help people who suffer with anything and everything. You can be yourself and be understood here at the Chronic Pain Survival Blog. Living in today's world is a challenge. Be part of a group that wants to help and who understands exactly how you are feeling. Join today and become a part of Survival Nation! If your not trying, your dying.  I would like to hear from you.. How can Chronic Pain Survival help you?  Would appreciate all comments!  If you dont want to post then please email me at mattwilliams35@gmail.com and we can discuss how to post your story or comments.   Its good to let others who have been in your shoes share their stories of success and failures... God Bless!  MW

Speak to the Rock... Numbers 20:11

God is with us all the time.... he allows things to happen and yes causes things to happen I believe to either punish us for being out of his will or to get our eyes focused on him.   To get our attention!    Never blame god for anything that happens in your life." If you or when you do, I believe he shuts his ears off as would you when you hear something bad maybe towards you.     In Numbers Moses and the Israelites had wondered the deserts for 40 years... it was by gods grace, he told Moses to strike the rock twice and water to flow to the people and their animals.   Faith is the key... the cross is the key... in this painting.... God is the Rock, the staff is the cross in that time and the abundant water was the Holy Spirit.    God Bless.... enjoy.  MW

Chronic Pain Survival

I wanted to let my friends and family know that God is taking me on new roads. As most have seen I started painting this year (never touched a paintbrush in my life, and my kids will verify this) and I have been blessed with so many friends and family support and kind words....I am visiting my reproduction company this week and carrying my originals over to start reproductions that I will be selling. I started painting as a therapy not only for me, but for others who suffer with chronic pain daily and feel alone. I prayed that it would help just one person...this is all god my friends, I went from maybe 130 LinkedIn friends to now over 500... all related to the paintings.... that's how god works when you are at the bottom and give him everything, not some, but everything 24/7.... you pray an open ended prayer all day till you go to sleep talking to him.... I am 80% pain free and I have had 2 headaches since November last year when I had my Pain pump implanted and it drips directly on my nerves 24/7..... micro doses. I had to flush my pain medication for 6 weeks in order to get the implant. All god my friends. Rock bottom is where I was at for 6 weeks... I had a medicine that worked and I flushed it. Without god, I would not have made it. I believed god freed me during that 6 weeks and he is the reason he is blessing me like he is now.....What I am saying,is, don't wait to hit rock bottom....trust me, it's the darkest LIFE you have ever seen. I am giving him all the glory and I pray you do too... my new road? Radio interview on the link below for a 3 hour interview. I am also in touch with 2 documentaries about Invisible Chronic Pain and surviving. And a right turn on the road? I will be HOSTING my own show starting May 11, 2017 at 9:00pm CST....now will you give it all? This is my platform to minister for god....I know he died on THE CROSS and he has forgiven my sins. Am I perfect? In no way....I know what hypocrisy is and I assure you I am not that....I sin just like you everyday, but you know what? It's ok, because at the end of the day I know my sins are forgiven! I feel awesome! I hope my story will help you if you struggle at all....I'm not a doctor and all I can do is share what happened in my life.... I'm not Mr. Perfect now...there is still more healing to be done, but you know what? I don't even think about anything except I know it's all in gods time and it's not me that needs the healing...I pray for them when anything about them comes to me all day long! But I live! I will be posting the show link each time I will be on the air....if you are a business or know someone who owns a business please share...this station needs support to keep it going. I am asking for sponsors for my show, to the station on its behalf.....Thank You! To be continued.... https://www.facebook.com/braininjuryradionetwork/ God Bless...
