My apologies for keeping you all in such suspense. I was surprised to find that it's been nearly two months since my last update! :(

As I wrote in the last update, after seeing my programmer I was rather disappointed that I didn't see more positive results. It took a few weeks of patience and I began seeing and feeling wonderful changes. The pain resided to almost nothing. My neck seemed more stabilized and most days I am able to be up and around all day. I can actually live pretty good on eight hours of sleep, nine a few nights a week is nice.

As many of you know, I'm not one to just sit at home day after day with not much to do. Yes, I can find work if I look for it and do enjoy being able to help with cleaning, cooking, baking, laundry and such things here at home. However, I enjoy being around people and socializing too much to jut stick with that and find myself needing to "get out". I thank God for friends to plan fun things with that make my weeks go faster. Weekends are always a highlight because of different activities that fill them. At times it takes Monday to catch up on my sleep, but that's OK. I still like to get a muscle treatment every week and that continues to help keep my muscles limber. :)

I think I can say with the way the last few weeks have been going, a small part-time job would be nice. I have struggled some with the fact of not really being needed anywhere and have been praying that something suitable would come up. One evening last week I was feeling it pretty hard so I talked to the One who has my life planned and knows what I need. I cannot describe the sudden peace that came over me, and the realization that I am RIGHT where God want me for the time being. I still don't know all His plans for my life, but I do know that in His time He will lead me to just the job for me! :)

I'd like to ask special prayer for wisdom and guidance. Last week I thought my neck was pulling a little more, it's not real bad, just enough to be annoying. I've been debating whether to make an appointment or not. Today I called and there is an opening for next Wednesday, (October 5Th) at 9:30(never mind that it takes 3 hours to get there). I often feel more tired and wore out for up to a week after any adjustment, which could be a problem with some of the plans for the next few week, I really don't want to feel sick and out of it. However, I'm not sure about waiting for another month to go. I made the appointment for next Wednesday but did tell her the situation and that I may not take it. Please pray that I would make a wise decision with that.

I am going to close with something I read that encourages me and I hope it will do the same for you.
~The road ahead may not be easy, but it will be the greatest race you've ever attempted. And best of all the destination is certain. Throw yourself unreservedly into the work that God has called you to. Take hold of your future with both hands.
