1305. one foot in front of the other. slow, steady, consistent. it is not a race, and i am thankful for two strong legs that can take me places. they submit to me and follow my commands. they may want to scream every once in a while, but they obey, and they will take me on adventures. Israel is not far away and we will be ready.
1306. thankful for this gift of awakening that can only be given by the Father Himself, myself alone, in all my weakness would not be able to posses this determination of my own accord. thankful that during this training time, this refining time physically, i am not discouraged. i am strengthened. i am humbled, and He still sustains me. I am being stretched in every way, and yet He has given me a joy that is full and deep. I am learning once again to hazek with Him, one foot in front of the other, and I am so thankful for His gentle presence.
1307. thankful for a husband is over abundant with support and encouragement. he rearranges and shifts around his schedule, in order to give me as much opportunity to train and prep my crusty body for Israel. He assists with my jobs at home to give me more chances and to relieve stress. so thankful for his unselfishness. he loves me so much.
1308. cuddles ALL day with little koko. she was wet with fever, delirious with heat and sweat, yet she still wanted mom to never be too far away. i didn't mind her sticky little bag of bones in my lap.
1309. thankful for her, finding room in her important life, for insignificant me. for sweeping me under her wing, caring enough about me to push me, to encourage me, to learn me. she humbles me by coming into my home, eating at my table, and i am so so thankful that she would make any room for me at all. i understand this could only be a season, but for the moment, i am thankful.
1310. lots of girl time lately. i know the days are numbered, so i am cherishing the girly laughter and the chit chat and the camaraderie..
1311. hot days filled with heat, damp, and cold cokes.
