Wow!!!! How can time go so fast? I find it a little alarming how easy it is to get so caught up in life and how fast I forget where I have been and what God has done for me. Is it true that four months ago I was laying flat on my back pretty much all day? How can it only be three months ago that it was the middle of summer and instead of hangin out with friends and enjoying my summer break to the max as I had earlier planned, I was 'hangin out' =) with doctors and nurses trying to patiently answer all there questions or staying at home just thankful that I could relax at home for the day!!!----and then reality strikes.........no, this is not all a big, bad dream and no matter how hard I pinch myself, it's not going to work, I am not going to wake up and go on as if there was no end to time. It doesn't matter how much I want to push the thought away that 'I might never know what it's like to live a normal life again' away, I can't, this IS real life for me!!!!!!

I am so thankful that my heavenly Father knows all about it and He knows just what His daughter needs!!!! He has brought me this far and I have no doubt that whatever His plan for my life is, He will be right there beside me just like He was many times before when I was laying in bed, or on the way home from a stressful, confusing doctor visit, or thrashing around, trying to find a comfortable position........ just like He is now when I lay awake at night wishing to be sleeping, or when I watch my youth group play volleyball and my heart softly cries to be normal!!!!!!! No, the road that God has asked me to take is not easy, but He has promised to walk it with me!!!!!

May God grant you all with a good week and remember, your work will not run away (sometimes it would be nice if it did)=), but you never know how many more oportunities you have to bless someone's day or make them smile........
