Hope, Healing and Rest

Today, there is hope that has long been absent. The hope lost was not that in Christ and the promise of eternity with Him. He WILL hold us fast. He will not let His children go. But, rather, hope that this life on earth might hold the possibility of having fun with my children without feeling like I am walking through sand up to my shoulders to accomplish every little task. Hope that date night won’t just be a fight to stay awake and alert. Hope that I can do all the things to care for my family and husband with a little pep in my step. Hope that I can give so much more to those I love. 

 I am so incredibly thankful for my Mom taking over the household tasks the last two weeks as I slept and slept and slept…and had some of my worst days and slept some more and went to see the Doctor. 

After much rest, and two acupuncture treatments, I have felt tired, but able to move for the first time in… well, I have absolutely no idea how long it’s been since I have felt like I can do things without thinking I might fall over. It’s like walking through sand that’s maybe just above ankle deep instead of shoulder deep. It’s incredibly freeing!
