Finally I am back at work. I like living by myself, but I need the people I work with and my students more than I could have ever imagined. A new semester has helped distract me from the pain. I got to see my first basketball game of the season tonight and forgot how much joy I get watching middle schoolers play their hearts out. The season started in November. If not for middle school basketball, I never would have gotten to know the sweet man that I might actually marry some day (heading into year 3 of engagement, and completely content). I am very sentimental when it comes to basketball. I am looking forward to the rest of the season and a few more wins.
I am thankful for everything I CAN do and that the pain is actually not as bad as it was in November. I am thankful for physical therapy and the muscles that are stronger now. I will continue to be hopeful and try to be as positive as I can, and when I can't, there are always the meds that knock me out.
Being thankful for each day and having faith in a God that controls all things and answers prayers...Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. Hebrews 11:1
One day at a time...
I serve a powerful God that continuously pours out his blessings, for that I rejoice. And I am so richly blessed. I also carry in this earthly body, a disease for which He has not revealed the cure. I am living with a progressive form of rheumatoid arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis, this blog is a record of the everyday struggles and triumphs of this life altering disease. I try to remain faithful and give thanks to a God that gives me each new day. This is about my journey and taking it one day at a time...
