EP 053, Desha Clawson, A Frayed Knot

If you've ever had chronic pain and wondered how you would ever make it through the valley, this episode is for you! And, if you haven't... it's still for you! None of us knows what's around the corner, and there will certainly be a time that we will relate to this story in our personal lives or in the lives of our loved ones. Desha Clawson has been married to her husband, Casey, for 40 years. They have four sons and two daughters-in-law. She is so amazing and someone Robin and Jill desire to emulate! Last year, she had been dealing with TMJ and went to have it checked out. It turned out that she needed a partial jaw replacement. If you've ever had mouth pain, you know it is all-consuming. At this same time, she was dealing with sciatic pain from a previous rollerblading accident! (How much do we love that she rollerblades?) The pain became so severe that she found herself having confusing thoughts about ending things permanently. Thankfully, she reached out to Jesus and he provided a way out. She gives us great lessons on what her take-away lessons were from the whole experience from which we can all benefit. What a great reminder of God's faithfulness toward all of us!
