Today I am thankful for Internet and Pinterest that are both helping me plan a graduation ceremony for my oldest daughter. (#376) I am thankful that she is graduating; that she is physically healed from the brain injury that threatened to rob her of this opportunity, (#377) that she is emotionally capable of facing the next stage of her life, (#378) and that she developed a love of learning by the end. (#379)
I am thankful that I was able to accomplish quite a few things today. (#380) Specifically I spent about two hours on the phone.
I am also thankful that I was able to nap twice today. (#381) Not so thankful that I needed to, but definitely thankful that I was able to. Adjusting to my new normal with this disease is emotionally difficult. It seems that each time I become accustomed to a new place, my health deteriorates a bit more. Maybe that constant state of deterioration is what I need to adjust to. Not being able to do much saddens me and I have friends that tell me this isn't what God wants for me but I'm not so sure. I know that if He chooses to, He can heal me completely but I also know that He could have a reason for allowing this disease in my life, a means to bring Him glory that could not be accomplished in another manner. Ultimately, I am thankful that I can trust a sovereign God knowing that He will do what is best for me. (#381)
