Days in Denton

I wanted to share some praises today. I worked outside for hours in the hot sun and realized afterwards that I wasnt wearing my support sock for my blood clots.  I realized that I had had no pain or swelling. Next month will be 6 months since they were found, and I amfinally seeing hte light at the end of the tunnel. I feel like I can run and jump and play without hurting or getting extra tired. It's such an aweseom feeling to remember how awful I felt a few months ago. Feeling like I would never feel "young" again and that I wouldnt ever feel good enough to work out, spend all day with family and friends, shop til I dropped ,or even go a whole day without propping my leg up. BUT TODAY WAS THAT DAY!

I have learned so much form this experience. I have learned the constant grace and love of God and his pretoectice love over his children. I dont believe that God made this happen to me. But being a fallen world, he lets it happen. BUT, what he does do is work through the hurt to bring us closer to Him. I am thankful for the experiences that I have been through. There was a point within the last few months that I became depressed and was scared. Obviously, I realized my mortality at an early age that people dont normally realize until elderhood (I think I made that word up, but its a good one). In those low moments, I realized God's presence was surrounding me. A cliche as that sounds, it was the truest think I've ever experienced. I dont wish that experience upon anyone, but I believe that that is when we grow...when it feels the most painful. 

Anyway, off my soap box...that's all i have for today.

The verse of the day is my favorite verse and is veryr appropriate for the things I experienced today:) 

with much love...
