We have been doing I know, better than we deserve!! God is kindly healing my body day by day. Medication is working wonderfully still. I have been exercising faithfully, walking and running on the treadmill-I did 1.9 miles today. It felt so good. I am trying to work up to running the whole time but my body is not that strong yet. I used to run faithfully after I had Carson and then-well lets just say, I got pregnant and pregnant. I am realizing much more now, after having so many kids, the importance of being healthy and making sure I am taking good care of myself the best that I can for the Lord and for the sake of my family.
Also I am learning how to make the time to do that.
Yes, over time the Lord is revealing many new things in my life through all of this, one major scripture that He has so vividly placed in my heart is the assurance of His love for me as His daughter-His everlasting love...
(I love the simple truth that the Word says about 'Nothing can separate His children from His love, not even tribulation or distress.') What I thought was so neat...I looked up the word "distress" in the dictionary because that is what I have been diagnosed with-here is what the dictionary said:
1. To cause strain, anxiety, or suffering to.
1. Anxiety or mental suffering.
a. Severe strain resulting from exhaustion or an accident.
b. Acute physical discomfort. 2. great physical pain
Now here is what God's Word says!!!!
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be [8] against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. [9] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
