About me

Hi, my name is Barbara Robbins. My husband Mitch and I have been married since 1973. Mitch is a video producer and editor, and I help with the bookkeeping for our business which specializes in video projects for Christian TV, churches, and other Christian ministries. We have had three children. Amy, our adult daughter, is a free lance artist and blogger, David, our special-needs son, recently got to meet our first-born, Teresa, in heaven.

In addition to blogging at hopeandlight.blog, I am a contributing writer for Godlivingwithchronicillness.com and a part of the leadership team for God-Living Girls with Chronic Illness, a Christ-centered support and encouragement Facebook group for ladies of all ages with chronic illness.

I am also currently writing a memoir about an automobile accident in 1975, that was responsible for many disabling injuries to my previously health body, that I continue to live with. It was also indirectly the cause of the long list of chronic illnesses that I’ve been diagnosed with since that time. This accident also resulted in the death of our first-born child, Teresa Lynn.

    Barbara, it is nice to meet you this morning and I am grateful that the Lord has brought me to your website. I have two adult sons: my youngest son, Matt, has just been diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s at 37, I struggle with multiple chronic illnesses myself and an intellectual disability. God has introduced us before or because I wasn’t sure what to pray for or about. I look forward to learning from your experiences and reliance on Jesus Christ.

    1. I hope my blog posts will continue to minister to your needs. You mentioned you personally suffer with several chronic illnesses, so I’d like to share a helpful resource with you. God-Living Girls with Chronic Illness is an Facebook support-Bible study group that I help lead. It is an outgrowth of Laurie Miller’s website

  2. I’m so thankful I found your page. I’m 42 years old, married with 3 children. I have been dealing with chronic pain for about 6 years. During this time God has deepened my relationship with him and called me to speak to other women to share the good news. Your post has blessed my heart and encouraged me. We are not alone! God Bless you!
