Timing

I have been doing a great deal better physically over the last month. My pain levels are significantly lower, and I can tell that physical improvements are beginning to take place. I can stand for longer periods of time, walk for farther distances, and find that recovery time for sore muscles is less and less. Yet, with all these improvements, I still find myself struggling to understand why I can't get better overnight. If my body is healing and all these improvements are taking place, why do I have set backs, flare ups, and hardships along the way?

The only explanation I have been able to give myself is that the disruptions along my healing journey only highlight my total and complete dependence on the Lord. And, being a dependent person is not an easy task for this strong willed girl. So, the Lord has to work twice as hard with me. I realize that I must rejuvenate myself in the trusting process. Today might not be as good as yesterday but tomorrow might be the best day I have has since getting RSD.

My hope is that we will all look at our weaknesses as opportunities to trust and depend on friends, family, and our faith.
