I just got in from Therapy today and had dinner and I had to tell you about today! First of all, I actually did a lot of typing with both hands! Now, I’m not saying that it was accurate and pretty-because it wasn’t, but for the first time in 6 years-it happened!
Then, at Therapy 1 month ago, they weighed me and I weighed in at 189.5 pounds. Now, my first concern was that I would crest and topple into the 200 range, so I immediately took control of my diet. So I started using Splenda sugar substitute, changed from desserts to fruits and started eating Starkist Teriyaki Tuna Fillets (which are sooo good) for dinner. Well today I was weighed again and I weighed an unbelievable 150 pounds. Now if I initially weighed in at 189.5 and now (1 month later) weighed 150 it’s easy to see that (PRAISE GOD!!) I lost 39.5 pounds in 1 month!
So I will be a Servant For Christ and still succeed (even in the little things!).
A Servant for Christ,

Oh Boy! Today (seemingly) everything that could go wrong DID go wrong! So, if I focused on that, then I’d be very depressed. But, the one thing that I did focus on and didn’t change is that I still have a SAVIOR regardless of everything else that’s happened! My life here on this earth just stinks, but what else is new to you! When things go wrong, there’s no need to focus on the bad, because that’s what Satan wants. No, just focus on your savior and just let the rest go! Then you’ll be actually winning the game!

Some things have happened recently that I just had to tell someone, so here it goes:
First of all MY BRAIN IS HEALING!!! Now, 4 things have happened, and for me to notice 4 things is simply unbelievable! Then I actually made a list of them, that too is UNBELIEVABLE! Plus, I can hold conversations about how I feel! God is so good to me, I know that it’s God, because I couldn’t do that before.
Next, I’ve been thinking about the song Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. I know it’s past that time now, but
what were the children who sang or heard that song learning? He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. He knows when you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake” So children (or whomever) have been taught that some fat old human does all of this when the greater truth is that The Godhead in Heaven is always watching them and blessing them and FAITH not goodness will save them.
Next, I go to Physical and Occupational Therapy 3 times a week, and I just realized that those wonderful hard working people there are far beyond employees of Ballard Rehabilitation Hospital, they really are my friends. They talk to me, I talk to them, and they treat me like I’m normal.
Finally, I have found that God really knew what to do when I got hurt, because now my right hand just moves into place when I need it and so I have both hands smoothly working together when I need them, AND THAT’S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!

OK, I went to Therapy today and what happened was obviously a gift from God. First I had Occupational and my hands just worked together like they were made to (like they never had in 42 years), then I went to Physical Therapy and, as usual, the best was yet to come. Normally I walked 200 feet and my goal (which was written on Wednesday) was 300 feet, well I walked 400 FEET with no problem! Then (as if there needed to be a then) on a mat, I stood up on my knees and THEN on my feet on the floor!
Now, I know that this may not seem like a lot to most of you, but just in case you don’t realize this, it takes A TON OF MUSCLES AND STRENGTH to just stand up and I thanked God and my Therapist for accomplishing so much with ME.

Oh no, here he goes again! Yep, it’s me, with another blessing! Tonight I took a shower, and I stood up holding on to the bar like I always do, but TONIGHT I ACTUALLY STOOD UP STRAIGHT WITH MY HEAD JUST NORMALLY ON MY SOULDERS-NOT RESTING ON THE WALL IN FRONT OF ME! NOW THAT’S A FIRST! I always rest my forehead on the wall in front of my head! I have LITERALLY NO BALANCE, so for to stand there for so long, perfectly straight was a TRUE ACT OF GOD!

I know that this is probably unimportant to most of you, but please bear with me for a moment. I am just feeling incredibly blessed today. First of all, I woke up in God’s world today. Now, that, in and of itself is quite a blessing! It won’t always be that way. I am getting older and someday I won’t wake up at all. But today I did and the day has just been awesome! It just seems that everywhere I’ve turned, God has been there with a blessing! Right now, I’m sitting in my room with my new wonderful computer and the door is wide open to a warm day outside. I am blessed and I have been thankful in prayer as well
