Roller Coaster Ride

"So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand".  Isaiah 41:10

Good afternoon all!  Roller Coaster...that is what I feel like I'm on.  The ups and downs of each day, just keeps us rolling I guess, and keeps me on my toes. I would rather be at Disney World on Space or Thunder mountain, but this is where I'm at and will look forward to that day when I will be at Disney World.  I've had a couple good nights of sleep (2-3 hours at a time), but  last night the pain and gas decided to show it's ugly head.  Usually with getting up and walking around will help.  Our poor dog Sadie has no clue what is going on this house, last night she looked at me like "seriously, your walking....it's 3:00 am, we're supposed to be sleeping".  But as with many faithful dogs, she got up and walked with me.  I'm sure her true hope was that we would go outside and walk, so after about 20 minutes she went back to her chair and just watched the rest of the time.

I'm eating a little more each day, although I won't be entering any food eating contest quite yet.  My Mom came into town on Thursday night, and will be staying for a while. Her hope is to "fatten" me up, we'll see how that goes.  I'm starting to have a few cravings for certain foods.  I watched a commercial for Sonic last night for their Chili Hot Dogs, and my mouth started to water.  I was quite perplexed by that since I rarely eat them ( in fact I can't remember the last time I had one), but at least it was a step forward in thinking that food will taste good.  Of course Tin Star, Gloria's, OTB or any other Mexican restaurants are still at the top of the list. 

I received a wonderful surprise yesterday, Zach came home. He had told me earlier this week that he wouldn't be coming home, since it was OU's last home game,  had lots of homework, and that his friends might be doing something for him for his 19th birthday today.  Yes, I admit was a little sad, but realized that he is now a college kid and that is part of his life now.  So yesterday at 4:00pm when he walked into the house, I cried and hugged him dearly.  I am truly blessed to have 2 wonderful kiddos, who have been by their momma's side all the way. 

Thank you for your continued prayers!  They are so appreciated, but ask they continue in the months to come. Yes, it is like a roller coaster with it's ups and downs, but I do know that there is an end to this ride.  God has blessed me with so many wonderful friends and I thank Him each and everyday for all of you.  I will try and update as much as possible, as this is part of my "therapy" and healing process, however, some days are a little tougher than another, so hang in there with me.

In His love,
Lisa
