I am here and alive! I just have been a bit swamped getting back to the normal’s of life.
 
I will catch you up to what’s been taking place over the past month since I have blogged.
 
In the middle of February I started back to work part-time. I work for 3 weeks part-time each day and mostly working with 2/3 year olds. That was craziness and so much out of my realm, but I was willing to give it a whirl and I think it went very well.  Now I just completed my first week working full-time and that is just as stretching as working with the 2/3 yr. olds.  My day can begin in one classroom and by the end of the day I have been in at least 4 classrooms. I am humbled in being a floater in the center and doing things so much out of my cozy ideal area. Everyday holds so much that just happens and I need to willing to roll with whatever happens. Work is great and I am grateful to be used even if it means at times getting frustrated!
 
Well, about 3 weeks ago the washer quit working and then yesterday the dryer decided to stop working as well. Amy my roommate and owner of the place I live in had to replace the washer and my sweet dad came this afternoon to look at the dryer. He is just amazing with fixing things. I have come to really appreciate my parents – they are the most amazing people I know. They are always willing to help me and my sister no matter what it is! I am so grateful to have them in my life!
 
Three weeks ago I notice some feeling in two of my toes on my right foot. How amazing Christ is in giving me this time of noticing the feeling. I have a lot of false feeling/sensation (all normal to experience from what I hear),but I know that the feeling of these two toes is real. I am so excited and can’t wait to see what God does with the rest of leg and foot.
 
I have been lately having really bad headaches and pain. This past week it lasted for a full week and that was really hard to deal with. it was like it was before surgery – so bad and painful. I know I was extremely grouchy and hard to deal with because they couldn’t imagine how much pain I was truly in! I did see my primary doctor this past week and she is trying to get a hold my surgeon to figure out what to do to get me somewhat being in a painless time. So far right now she has me taking muscle relaxers at bed time along with pain meds to help me have less pain. I have to admit that until I started taking these meds (which makes me really sleepy) I didn’t realize how much I really wasn’t sleeping well at night. I have been taking these meds for a few days now and my mood has been such a complete turn around. I am amazed that I can make it through my day at work so much better and able to handle my pain in a better way.
 
An then there is the fun ness of our weather to deal with on Friday we started with a huge winter storm, but then that totally turn into that evening a blizzard. It was completely me and God alone in my drive home that evening which took me over an hour to get home. Lord, thank you for that time of trust and safety. It was a blast to be snowed in for a few days. Yes, I know it was over the weekend, but it remind me when I was a kid and loved the snow fall. I was very happy with the snow coming down as long as I was stuck at home. Amy and I went out walking on Saturday night checking out things once the snow stopped falling. Today, I just played all by myself in the snow since church was cancelled today. Soooo much fun - I was a kid again!
 
My time with Christ has been an amazing ride. I can’t really even put it into words how much I have learned and what kind of time I am experiencing with Him alone. I have such an unquestionable trust of Him alone and what he will do in my life! I am doing a study right now that is helping in see some newness of Christ. I talked with someone this week that had went through a lot of what I am going through currently. I knew I have amazing support of family and friends, but it’s so hard for them to know what I am truly going through. This friend I talked to knows what i am going through to some degree, cause she went through the same surgery as well. I am going to meet her this week and I am really looking forward to swapping stories and wisdom in knowing what is to come in recovering.
 
Thank you god for sending me someone who can truly relate with me at this point in the journey. Thank you Lord for all you have done and the closeness of my family- I so appreciate them! Thank you for amazing friend who have been so supportive – love ya’ll.
 
I am currently getting back to working out more and trying to loose weight – this is really harder then it was before surgery – I can get so frustrated over this area – please pray for me in this way. Please pray for complete healing of my body and that I can be pain free!
