Thankful Tuesday-
I challenge YOU to tell me something you're thankful for in the comments below.
"For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:10
If you have been following along with my posts at all recently, or my moms, you've seen that I am struggling health wise. We still have no answers. I am tired. I am weak. I am bleh.
However, I am thankful for God pushing me. If you know me at all outside of social media (and probably even on social media) you know I am stubborn and ALWAYS doing something. I rarely slow down. I love my bed... but I also volunteer weekly for special needs kids. I travel for work every weekend and sometimes during the week. I am also a full time college student at UTK. It is always go, go,go.
While being sick, I am forced to slow down. Which... truthfully I might have needed as the semester started back up. So... I will say I am thankful for blessings in disguise.
While some days are harder than others, I managed to walk literally like three miles last week for the first time in weeks, and didn't even pass out. 🥳. I had a good long workout at the barn today with my gelding... I have gotten chickfila with family friends... I have almost got the Appalachian fair gallery completed as well as not one, but two new exciting things for all of my clients... I made a difference in a little boy who I volunteer for. I have been doing well in my classes so far.
Small progress is still progress, and I am thankful for that. I am thankful that even though I am "weak" that I am still able to be strong enough to push through and make progress. That I am slowly making it through whatever is wrong with me. That good things are coming.
Wet saddle pads, apple cider from the local farm stand, pigs, coffee, yellow cake with chocolate icing, lemonade, a much needed Dr. Pepper, new friends, old friends, getting to paint and draw again..
I am thankful for it all. 🤍
Tell me, what are YOU thankful for?
