I've had a colostomy since Nov. 7, 2006. Being a Christian had really helped me "deal" with what life at dealt. However last spring, I cried out to the Lord re: just how unfair this was and that I hated it. Not long after that prayer, I heard a message re: Christ's suffering. The minister described the beating that Jesus took. He said that it was so brutal...His entrails were exposed! Even this, a colostomy, Jesus understands. If Jesus wasn't the Son of God, if He hadn't been raised from the dead, if He had survived and His body only had been moved, He too may have been a candidate for an colostomy of some kind! How, can I continue to complain? When the Prince of Peace suffered so much more...to set me free! Lord strengthen us who deal with this condition, until you come! or we go to be with You and are made whole. Amen

Hi Pom Pom,
I know this post is almost four years old, but as I read it today, all I could say is Amen. I am also a follower of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and felt the need to comment and say hello.
Hope you are well and maybe get to chat with you one day.

Hello and welcome to meet an ostomate. The site charges a fee only for Full Membership, you can still interact with members here via the forums and the public chat room with free membership. The site charges a fee since it has expenses ... as do all websites, people have to spend their time to run and maintain the site, buy bandwith, servers, and other things. I am a life member here, it cost me 56$....about the price of 1 cup of coffee a week for a year. I think that is a very small charge for such a big reward. In my opinion this site is the best ostomy-related web site on the net. I hope you will stick around awhile and see for yourself. I do not own or am I in any manner connected to this site except as a member. regards. mmsh
