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!
