Ups & Downs

I've still been doing better... of course I've been having my ups and downs the last few days, but I think what's different is my determination to get back up and keep fighting. I've just realized life is way too short and I need to get on with mine before it's too late.

Yesterday I met with Dr. Vance.. we really talked about how I'm going to fight Twister after the clinic Tuesday. If I keep following my nutrition plan, I will gain weight and won't have to go back into the hospital. When that happens, Twister will be screaming. He is going to try to keep pushing me until I fall and land back into the hospital. I'm going to pray before and after I go, try to keep busy when I leave, read Bible verses, just stuff that will make me stronger to fight him.

I found this great verse Wednesday night, by accident actually... it's Jeremiah 30:17 "I will restore you to health, and heal your wounds.. declares the Lord". It's really amazing how God speaks to us. I have faith He will restore me to health and heal me. I also know I have to daily surrender to Him and give it all over to Him. (see I was listening to you Dr. Vance! lol)... when it's in His control everything will fall into place.

Today started out a little rocky, but I've managed to get back up and continue. I'm trusting He will bring me through this day by day, one small step at a time.

I have a prayer request for all my prayer warriors: One of my former gymnastics students that I taught last year, and also her sister is a cheerleader at the high school. I don't really know her, I just know of her. But I taught her sister.. anyway, their mom was killed in a car accident last night. I can not even begin to imagine what they are going through, and honestly I don't want to. Just please lift them up to the Lord during this very difficult time. This just really goes to show how fragile life is, don't take any of it for granite.
