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.

This group has been my go-to during my loneliest hours whenever I've had a "bag blowout" at 3am and there was no one else in the world to talk to.
Because it's a global community, there's always someone here to lend an ear, provide advice, and just hold my hand if that's all I need.
Sure, there's also a lot of camaraderie, fun topics, and laughs, but the main reason I come here is for the total acceptance I get from the members. No one else on the planet could possibly "get" what I'm going through, not even my loving husband or supportive family.
The "Meet an Ostomate" forum is definitely a one-of-a-kind family, which I am very proud to belong to.
