Thank you all so much for all of your prayers!
"The blessing and the hope and the power and the glory belong to the One on the throne, and to the Lamb forever and ever." (Rev 5:13)
This past Thursday I began a downhill trek on this mountain. I finally have been feeling like the old me - only better: a renewed self. I finished a couple of books and began new ones, including 2 that had the same quote that really appealed to me: "We will nobly win or meanly lose this last great hope on earth." (Abraham Lincoln wrote this about America in a letter to Congress shortly after the creation of the Emancipation Proclamation.) I have been attending all the boys events with vigor, exercising (albeit I have a long way to go in this area), taking naps sparingly, running errands, and working on some other things that will fulfill God's purpose for me.
However, let me be clear. I fully realize this journey is a mountain range and not just the one mountain. Any day I could hit a another mountain, a small hill or just a bump - or even a higher mountain. I will keep in mind: "Give thanks in all circumstances, for it is God's will for those in Christ Jesus. (I Thes 5:18)."
I have an appointment with my doctor next week and pray it goes as well as I feel because "I am confident that the good works God has begun in me will be perfected." (Phil. 1:6) I am not yet finished with my work!
By the way, all the quotes above are from memory. After writing on my blog about my memory problem I decided to make flash cards for myself. Sounds rather elementary, but I have to take baby steps in this new life of mine.
