On the road again...as if it's going out of style!

So this last weekend I took a trip up north to visit my bro and his fam. As I was there I looked out the kitchen window to see the trampoline in the back yard and so many emotions come rushing back into my head of that weekend in April 2010. Then I go to the post office as I get out of the vehicle and step over a foot of snow on the curb, I'm reminded of each and everyday going to the p.o. and trying to lift my legs high enough to make it up fewer than 10 steps to get inside the door to mail my packages. Slowly but surely strengthening my muscles in my legs. This time much easier than before! I'm amazed at where the Lord has brought me, because so much of it seems like yesterday. I think mostly cause I live with the pain everyday. I will not be content with staying where I'm at, but I will revel in knowing that God is a good good Shepherd and He leads perfectly!!! His Timing not my own you know!! What He say's He has for me is not always what I see, Lord please give me new perspective. More from April 2010 At the work site I was so relieved to see my family, though still in a lot of pain and very exhausted. I started cleaning out the car as we waited for them to finish up and I was squatting down by the front seat collecting the trash. I then tried to get up and couldn’t, I grabbed onto the door multiple times and thought of calling someone over to help but didn't see anyone. I then mustered up enough strength to get up. I started telling my mom that I was so tired I needed to sit down. She told me I could sit in the van with my nephew but it was locked. There is this button we have under the license plate that we can push to get in, so I went to go push it crouched down in my little position we all know of pretty well now, and I got stuck. My nephew was in my arms and I yelled over to mom to come get him and it just didn’t seem like she came fast enough. She called my brother over who had to use all his muscles to lift me, since my legs couldn’t do any of the work. At the time he laughed and thought we were joking. I didn’t know this at the time but I guess my mom whispered “she could have M.S.” He then helped with little to no hesitation, and I was up on two feet again. That night at the hotel, I started to text everybody on my phone contact list that I could. I asked them to pray for me, and to add me to their church prayer chain. Early Sunday, April 11th around 5 am I got up to use the bathroom took a few steps out of bed and fell straight on my back. I was okay I barely even knew what had happened it was so quick. My mom sat up right away to make sure I was alright and I said that I was, however obviously something was terribly wrong with me, like I was thinking all along when I went to urgent care each and every time.
