Today has been a day of beauty, faith, family, food, and fellowship. Today has also been one of anger and frustration because my body is making life difficult for me. I DETEST asking for help. I HATE being unable to do everyday tasks that we take for granted. However, I ABHOR the thoughts of the devil grinning when I do things that are going to compromise my health. Therefore, Im going to recognize the fact that, for now, I need to slow down A LOT. Im going to accept the fact that Im a fourth grade ELA teacher, not THE fourth grade ELA teacher and my students will be okay if I have to miss a day here or there in order to slow down. Then, Im going to be thankful for my family, friends, and coworkers who are willing to do anything humanly possible to get me through this. Im supposed to begin a new medicine Friday unless a spot opens up Wednesday or Thursday and I can begin earlier. This medicine is supposed to work quickly and work well to combat one of the the genetic mutations I have. I am blessed this drug is available. I am blessed I have doctors and family and friends willing to fight with me. Im blessed by the countless prayers being offered on my behalf and on behalf of my family. I am blessed to have three children who will do any mundane task I need done just so I dont have to. Im blessed to have a husband who, while frustrated that he cant magically fix me, is here in every moment of every day, never backing down no matter the task. Most importantly, however, Im blessed by the grace of my Lord, who sacrificed his Son to save my stubborn soul! There is no greater blessing, none!
