Cerebral Palsy. I’m learning not to hate you. After getting news that the world may never have answers for how you affect my body, I’m learning to let go. God gave me answer. I didn’t like it, but it gave me peace nonetheless. I’m making peace with not knowing. God works best when I don’t have answers. I have more appointments upcoming, but I’m okay with that. I will be forever grateful for the doctor who told me to go on vacation. I was told to enjoy life no matter what my body may decide to do. So I go forth with living because it’s the only option I have. I know I’m blessed, but to be told I bless others is the best compliment. I sincerely hope I do just that, and that His glory is reveled in me.
Thank you
For equipping me
For a battle
I didn’t know
I needed
To face
You are a strong warrior. God is equipping you with every tool you need to win this battle. Sometimes we aren't able to overcome every obstacle in our lives, but God gives us the grace to move forward in spite of the obstacles and that is victory! Praying for you as you face these battles daily. You honesty and openness is an inspiration for us all as we deal with our won personal struggles in life. Thank you for being you.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's a good direction - learning not to hate your illness. I started to ponder on my feelings towards my disease. I think I just KNOW IT'S THERE. Nothing else.

ReplyDeleteSometimes we don't get to choose, do we? But your attitude is spot on and yes, living every day to the best is what we should all do -- CP or anything else.

Your advice from your doctor sounds solid and you should act on it whenever you feel up to it. Live your life while you're here because tomorrow is never promised to any of us. Blessings
