You are tougher than you think you are

Well, if you survived looking at my hospital picture you are pretty tough. I am finding out that I am tougher than I think I am.

I must confess there have been several times in the last month, that I have prayed to the Lord saying, I just can't do this anymore, please, please help me and the burden has been lifted or I have been strengthened. I really don't want to know how tough or strong I am..I am ready for some easy days.

I have been out of the hospital about 1 week and am slowly trying to eat food and gain weight and strength. I drink a Carnation drink that has 560 calories to help get most of the calories for a day. Slowly the tastebuds are working, it's just getting the stomach to accept what food goes down.

I continue to receive such cheerful cards and emails which has been my lifeline to the outside world. Thank you so much for sending them. It helps me feel like I still exist and am not forgotten.

I am so grateful for prayer and for the peace and strength that our Heavenly Father sends. I think when it comes down to it, we are all tougher than we think we are...and with God nothing is impossible.
