Happy 4th of July! So much for which to be thankful – for all the people who have sacrificed so that I can live in the this country. Occasionally I think back to where I was a year ago. Most of the memories are a blur, but typically I can remember landmark days like today. For some reason, I can't remember 7-4-10 at all so I looked back at my blog to refresh my memory. One year ago I was still in the hospital, running fevers and having to receive nutrition through my IV because I couldn't eat and my entire GI system was sloughing. Mom was having to blog for me at that point. I had a hard time reading it, I don't know how Mom and Dad lived it. After refreshing my memory I am even more grateful for my freedom – from the hospital, from the chemo side effects, from the cancer! How great it feels to be back to helping others, to be sleeping in my own bed, to be able to eat food off the grill!!! I'm back to being able to “help myself” in most things, but have not forgotten that God is my ultimate strength and it's ok to ask for help.
“The Lord is my strength and my song;...he is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God and I will exalt him.” ~ Exodus 15:2
