I have been resting.
Resting in Christ is possibly the most freeing experience. In a way it seems self-indulgent and
irresponsible. It’s funny how choosing
trust, dismissing fears, relying on God, and dismissing worry can feel like it
looks lazy and reckless. Maybe that is
my head trying to pull away from my heart again. However, choosing trust brings an amazing
sense of peace.
I am going into my 4th week of health. Praise the Lord! Oh my, holy granola Batman, is God so good!!
It’s strange, I almost don’t know how to talk about my life when everything is
going well. I feel like it is me saying
hey I’m so awesome, look at all I am doing, isn’t my life so great? Well I guess it is like that, but it is look,
God gave me health, He gave me rest, He gave me energized zest to do the things
I love!! So if you want to rejoice with me, here are a few of the things I have
been able to do!
Travel to Corvallis for Varsity House worship twice! I have been able to visit my brother, see him
play in his first IM football game, take him out to lunch, try miracle berries,
and search for nerf guns. I have been
able to bake vanilla cupcakes with pumpkin pie frosting, chocolate marshmallow
cookies, chocolate cupcakes with cookie dough frosting, and a chocolate
raspberry cake. I guess I have had a
thing for chocolate. I have been able to make lemon basil pizza, lime tilapia,
homemade tortilla chips, and peach cobbler.
I was able to go to my best friends open house for her new apartment and
a surprise birthday party for one of my favorite friends! I got to go to the OSU vs. Utah game and the
Varsity House Halloween root beer mugger!
I was able to dress up as Audrey Hepburn and keep up with my friends
throughout the night. I also was able to
see Cirque du Soleil here in Eugene and it was amazing! I have never seen anything like it. Dylan even got called up from the
audience. He was born for the
stage/podium. I was also here to take my
midterm, which went smoothly! I can’t
tell you what a relief it has been to be well and caught up in school. I am almost like a normal student!
For those of you who would like to know how to pray… I would
love prayer for continued health. I have
started to notice an increase in my cough and have been praying extra hard for
protection for my lungs. I am scheduled
for my minor surgery next week to have my port placed. In order to have the surgery I need to go
into it with ideal health and lung function.
Please please pray that I gain back my strength and that the surgery
goes smoothly. I am really looking
forward to having a port again! The
surgery is on the 8th at 6:30 a.m. and then I have a clinic
appointment on the 9th.
Lord please equip me with powerful lungs and a happy liver!
Thank you!
