Wow!!! Had a fun afternoon at school!=)

Am actually getting really exited about the coming school term. I plan to go as secretary and also help out quite a bit in the high school room!!! I feel quite honored that, although I have my limitations, they are still offering me a job!!! At this point I think, maybe, hopefully I will be able to be there full time! =) Only God knows!

God has been so good to me and as I look over the past few months, from the middle of March when I started noticing some involuntery neck movements to April 12 when I starting doctoring and on into May when there were quite a few weeks that I spent flat on my back, barely able to do anything for myself and also noticing that my walking abilities were going down-hill FAST! Not exactly sure on the date but sometime about the beggining-middle of May I had an anointing service. It was about all I could do to go from my bed upstairs to my bed in the living room not to mention the many doctor visits that put me thru what seemed like pure torcher, and then the first Saturday in June when my best friend got married, instead of serving her I was at least able to be there with cruches and a rocking chair oh and the help from family and friends! Then it was June, the days would come and go, some much better than others but still lots of doctor visits and still not getting out much more than I had to because it was just too stressful to get my hair looking half decent and plus sitting up on a chair for more than about an hour or so was just pushing it too much. I think it might have been about the end of June when I started noticing definite improvment, I started doing more for myself, my walking was improving, I could truthfully say I felt better!!!! July came and with it fewer doctor visits and more improvments!!!=) I was at church more regularly and even managed some youth activities. Also went on a small shopping trip and enjoyed a few days at my friends house. It just seemed as the month progressed so did my improvments. Some of them so small that I barely noticed it. That's when my friends and extended family would encourage me by telling me that I had improved since they last saw me. For some it was a month or more but there were also many who had seen me a week or two ago and saw improvment!!!! =)

As of now, my walking is what I would call really good. Writing is still a bit hard and my neck pulls quite a bit to the right. It seems the muscles on the right are actually too weak to allow me to turn my head to the left but the good news is that the muscle treatments I am getting seem to have helped that quite a bit!!! =)

I like how my friend put it, this is my journey. (Grace=) I don't fully understand why God chose me to take this journey, but I do know that I have learned so much through it, and one of the biggest things is to 'Trust God'!!!!! I do not know where this journey will all take me yet but I do know that God is and will be with me. =) One thing that has been such a blessing is the fact that I rarely had severe pain!!! My prayer is that whatever happens, that God would recieve the honor and glory!!!

It seems the devil always has some tactic or another that he uses to try to get us down. Right now that tactic for me is.... What if I never do return to full health? I mean at this point there are lots of things I can do and I can live a half decently normal life, but I'm still young, I have dreams and goals just like any normal young person. But I don't know what God has in mind and although I want to fight the thought that maybe this is what God wants for me, my prayer is that whatever God has in mind that I would be ok with it!!

We've got the power in the name of Jesus, we've got the power in the name of the Lord, though satan rages we will not be defeated, we've got the power in the name of the Lord!!!!
