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...

From the top...

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.
