Walking again!

I don't have much news other than to say that I am up, walking/hobbling around again since last Thursday evening. I don't move very fast and slightly resemble a 90-year-old post stroke victim with a prosthetic leg! :-) Progress is progress - what else is there to say?

I was feeling especially proud of myself last night and decided to go grocery shopping. I did not take any assisstive mobility devices such as a walker or my scooter. I thought I could conquer Meijer's on my own. I walked around the entire store for about an hour. By the time I got home, my foot was the size of the Good Year blimp. I guess I learned that overdoing things really isn't worth the price! My therapist is going to have a field day with me this afternoon...

I am happy to say that I have only two weeks of therapy left after this one! My next doctor's appointment is on Tuesday, so I hope to have a more definite answer as to when I am able to resume life as usual. I would like to move back home and begin working, going to church, etc. The key to all of this is going to be transportation! So, if you are reading this, pray that the Lord will provide something sooner rather than later! I know someone who will install an engine in my car for free. I just don't know where the engine is going to come from....probably the same place the cash will come from? ;-(

I keep thinking of of the following verse in Ecclesiastes 3:11, "He has made everything beautiful in His time." I have to remember that things happen WHEN and HOW God wants them to happen per HIS schedule, not mine!

In His Time

In His time, in His time,
He makes all thing beautiful in His time.
Lord, my life to You I bring,
May each song I have to sing,
Be to You a lovely thing, in Your time.

In Your time, in Your time,
You make all thing beautiful in Your time.
Lord, my life to You I bring,
May each song I have to sing,
Be to You a lovely thing, in Your time.

I decided to write my own version:

Now it's time,
Now it's time!
I need wheels to get to work,
'cause it's time!
Lord, this small request I bring,
Such a simple, easy thing,
Quickly grant me a Sebring,
'cause it's time!

Okay, so I know that's not how it works... Just pray that my frustration won't override patience and peace (and that my sense of humor, my number one coping mechanism, stays in tact)! I know God provides, but it will be in HIS time!
