Last night, I was exhausted and fell asleep early.  I woke up at 1:21 a.m. because I was very uncomfortable with pain in my left hip.  I had a dull ache that just would not allow me to get comfortable.  I tossed and turned for hours.  Finally, I decided that I would just be still and not move regardless of how uncomfortable I was.   As I was laying there, a verse that I read in the Bible came to me and I just kept repeating it over and over in my head; Be Still and Know That I am God.

I dont remember when it was that I finally fell asleep, but I did and didn’t wake up until 9:30 a.m. today.

NR:  The new day brought new strength in the movement of my left ankle and foot…..  My new found courage allowed me to walk 1 lap around the house with the walker today while no one was here.  I felt good.  I felt confident.  Tomorrow I am going to shoot for two laps.  I have previously done 5 laps around the house but that was while my Aunt Dorothy and Victor were here.  Doing laps alone is a new exercise for me not only physically but I am exercising my mental strength.

I heard a saying recently that I love….  Mind over Matter – If you don’t mind then it don’t matter.   This is my attitude now while doing laps around the house.  I don’t mind if I fall while trying so it doesn’t matter if I fall while trying.  I just need to keep trying.

I thank and praise God for holding me up.  He is my counselor, my healer, my provider!
