I am still doing well, considering I just got home from the hospital one week ago today! I really am not in much pain, and so thankful for that! I just can't be up much without getting tired very quickly.
My biggest challenge is to not go stir crazy, as I am not someone who enjoys a lot of time doing nothing. I was ambitious yesterday and tried to walk a little ways up the sidewalk for a bit of fresh air, but I think I paid the price the rest of the day...so, no walk for me today!=) It's hard when I start feeling better, as it makes me think I can do more, but then I realize I can't.
There are so many times in our lives, where we think we can do more, and try to take things into our own hands instead of allowing God to work. It's when we realize that we can't do anything without putting our hands into God's hands, and letting Him lead the way that we are truly content.
The sweet picture above is of my two precious little cousins. It reminds me of how we need the Lord to guide us every step of the way, but also how we need each other to help us along this journey called life.
I am treasuring the down time I have right now while I am recovering, (even though I am restless at times) I am learning to be content in every single circumstance that comes my way. We can make every circumstance an opportunity to grow, or to complain. It's our choice.
Phil. 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
I am so thankful for that promise, and have been learning what God has for me, and also praying for each one of you.
Choose to make today a day of contentment....no matter what your circumstance.
