WOW, I have never wanted anything more in my life right around the hour mark, i was hoping for a happy ending, you too seem so happy togeather and you deserve to be happy, and i hope you guys get that family you were after. WOW, this should be made into a hollywood movie, it is such a touching story, ironicly it kept me up till 2am to watch it, But wow. im just so happy it was a happy ending. If there is a god he has to help you guys, i thought i had it bad, but wow.
Well good lord may we all be thankful for men like you on this earth! I hope one day I can marry a man who will care for me and stick with me through my pain! Right now I'm only 17 and my mom takes care of me for now with my Lyme and other illnesses. Trust me I have thought about my future and about how any guy would want to stick around with a girl who constantly complains and doesn't feel good. Your wife is such a strong woman! You two were meant for each other and deserve each other no doubt!
Justin and Christa, this is so touching! My cousin has pretty severe lymes, and it helps to realize a little better what she goes through. It makes me want to pray for her more. I'm SO thankful ya'll have remained faithful through this journey!! Keep pressing on! God had a purpose for all that. He didn't want to see you suffer. Thank you for letting him use ya'll in this way! I'm so happy too, that ya'll have stuck it out in your marriage! NEVER give that up!!! Love and prayers! Evie
Thank you so much for posting this. I am so sorry for all you two have suffered through. I have been sick for 8 years, and am in the process of being tested for lyme through Igenex and can't tell you how much i appreciated this video. As much as it hurts to have to watch Christa go through all the pain, it was so comforting seeing that eventually, she started recovering. I have watched this video 3 times, and each time feel so thankful to have found it, and to feel a little less alone in this.
Justin & Christa. My faith deepened by watching your struggle which I have mixed feelings about - awful that I have to watch you struggle to have MY faith deepened. I am suffering from POTS Syndrome - single - doing this alone - same head pain as Christa - not AS severe but it's been constant. Running out of money, no where to go really - do not know what I will do - I honestly do not know what I am going to do - have a script of the Cholestyramine now.
@GirlGoneVegan Have you ever thought about lyme? I have a lot of lyme friends who were also diagnosed with POTS/Dysautonomia and many other "syndrome" stuff like Fibromyalgia Chronic Fatigue which are all symptoms.... Finally they found a doc who was more interested in WHY these symptoms were happening and found lyme was the ROOT cause! Of course it took a while to correctly diagnose because the Testing for lyme is horribly inaccurate and unreliable..... <#
Wow thankyou for sharing such an amazing story :D Im so happy that she is on the road to recovery, after what you have suffered through you guys deserve the very best in life. Although not nearly as severe, i have had issues myself for the past few years, suffering from constant lightheadedness, anxiety and various other things which have caused me to hide away and not live my life. After watching this i have hope that i will to find my answers one day, and im going to enjoy life again :D
Thank you so much for sharing this! It was like watching a movie of our lives. I've been sick for 9 yrs just diagnosed 6/11 with Lyme & 2 co-infections.You're an amazin couple! We were married 6/29/02 10/02 my sickness began. Through our faith just as the2 of you we push on I am in beginning stages of treatment waiting to start IV antibiotics.We know EXACTLY what ur going through! I would love to know the name of the powder that helped her rid the toxins. God bless you both!!
Justin hey man my name is Jaime and my wife has Lyme as well I would love to email you and just bounce off things we have gone through too. Thanks for the video you and your wife helped me and my wife realize that the center of our life through this struggle is the Lord. Viewing your video was a second wind for us.
Great story and very touching. I am in the same boat as Christa, battling chronic Lyme and 3-4 coinfections. It is truly a living nightmare. Seeing her in the video reminded me a lot of my life. I'm glad she found someone to love and support her. I am still waiting to find someone but it is so hard to date when I can't leave the house. Your story brings me hope. Thank for sharing with us all and I wish you the best.
Wow Krista and Justin, I wish the best for you. I hope that the worst is behind you and you can start enjoying life now. Justin, what a blessing you are to stick by her in her hard times, and Krista what strength you are showing the world to keep on fighting. Both of you are an inspiration. God bless...
Hi - I am signed in under my daughter, Meghan's, acct. She is 16 soon to be 17 and has spent the last 4 yrs battling lyme disease too. She went 18 months with all kinds of misdiagnosis's. I want to thank you for sharing your story. Your love for one another is so visable throughout this video. I will be contacting your e-mails as I would love to speak to you re: your progress and Meghan's battle. Again, thank you for sharing - so much of what we watched is what Meghan has gone thru. God Bless!
I will be praying for you! I love your story, you are an insperation to others who are fighting this, and also to people who are not. Keep trusting in Him!
The most beautiful love story - and truly the saddest story - of an inspirational couple who are truly the bravest people with the most outstanding family I may have ever known. It is an honor to know some of this family, and an amazing gift to see this bravery, love, devotion, spirit, and any other magnificent words one can find. Thank you so very much to the Wensley family and the Vanderham family for these amazing children who gift the world just by being here on the planet.
Throughout this I kept thinking about how lucky I am... but then I realized that you two are the lucky ones. You have a love that can withstand anything, and that's all there really is in life. Love. You have made it through the worst, and that is a guarantee that you will make it through everything. You are both inspiring people.
to meet either of you, but you can see it in the photos, how you look at eachother, how you touch her when comforting her. Just. WOW. I pray for your bright futures and I aspire to one day love as unconditionally as you both do.<3
WOW! The story of your guys' life & love is truly truly inspiring! I am so sorry that you had to and continue to go through such rough times in your lives! You both truly have stuck to the part of the wedding vows that say "for better or for worse, in weakness and in health"! I am astounded by your strength to keep fighing such a horrible disease, but I am even more impressed with how in love you both truly are, and continured to be over such rough times. I haven't had the priveledge
wow, I am touched beyond words! It just so happened that I was online doing research for stories about lyme disease, since I hope to do research one day and find good treatment options for people who are suffering, and I came across your story. Your strength and bravery is so inspiring. The love you both have for each other, even through the toughest of times, is just so beautiful to see. Best of luck with the rest of your treatment. Keep up the strong message, you have touched my heart!
This video is amazing! My cousin has recently been diagnosed with Lyme disease and has been suffering for years now. I will be sharing this with her in hopes that it gives her hope to keep on searching for a cure for her also. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
I couldnt stop crying. This is a remarkable story and I will definitely pass it on to everyone I know. I could only imagine how hard it must have been for you guys, and even to this day. This would be an amazing story for my speech. I'm in the Queen Silverstar Program and have a speech competition coming up and I would love to meet you guys and learn more so I could write my speech for lyme disease and the struggles. It'd mean the world if you could message me. :)
@Ashleylazz Dear Ashley-I'm assuming ur name is Ashley?
Absolutely! Let's meet. Please e-mail me personally (cvanlymelight@hotmail.com since that is my health&wellness&prayer e-mail) and then we can discuss a meeting place for touching base! My best friend Verity was crowned Queen in 2005! Justin&I love sharing our story, for the purpose that others be helped&educated, but mostly so that God is brought to attention for who He really is, not just who people wish Him to be, or pretend He is not.
Made this for you Christa belle! Thanks for sharing your story! Jaw dropping and heart- wrenching what you have gone through. Your life and Justin's life sing such a beautiful song of faith and passionate and genuine love for each other. SO beautiful. You two definitely reflect God's heart of love to other and for each other. Amazing to see you walk with God through this journey. It made me so happy to make you this video...
I'm so glad to see this on Youtube! Your story is so powerful and moving and inspirational and something that so many people should see. Ah! It leaves me speechless.
