Discouragement

Amazing how quickly you can go from a “I can do it“  attitude to discouragement. I thought I was making more progress on my walking until my video therapy session tonight. I just can’t walk with the right gait pattern! Jenna, my therapist, was very encouraging but I still felt discouraged. Later, I was praying that God would encourage me through a song, and the next song that played…(I have heard the song many times before…but the words were PERFECT)

The Father’s House 

By: Cory Asbury

Sometimes on this journey, I get lost in my mistakes

What looks to me like weakness is a canvas for Your strength

And my story isn't over, my story's just begun

Failure won't define me 'cause that's what my Father does

Yeah, failure won't define me 'cause that's what my Father does

Ooh, lay your burdens down

Ooh, here in the Father's house

Check your shame at the door (ooh)

'Cause it ain't welcome anymore (ooh)

Ooh, you're in the Father's house

Arrival's not the end game, the journey's where You are

You never wanted perfect, You just wanted my heart

And the story isn't over, if the story isn't good

A failure's never final when the Father is in the room

A failure's never final when the Father is in the room

Ooh, lay your burdens down

Ooh, here in the Father's house

Check your shame at the door (ooh)

'Cause it ain't welcome anymore (ooh)

Ooh, you're in the Father's house, yeah

Prodigals come home

The helpless find hope

Love is on the move

When the Father's in the room

Prison doors fling wide

The dead come to life

Love is on the move

When the Father's in the room

Miracles take place

The cynical find faith

And love is breaking through

When the Father's in the room

The Jericho walls are quakin'

Strongholds now are shakin'

Love is breaking through

When the Father's in the room

I said love is breaking through

When the Father's in the room

Ooh, lay your burdens down

Ooh, here in the Father's house

Check your shame at the door

'Cause it ain't welcome anymore

Ooh, you're in the Father's house

Yeah, lay your burdens down

Ooh, here in the Father's house

Ooh, you're in the Father's house

Appointment

I had an appointment at Barwis yesterday. The appointment went well! She was impressed with the progress I was making (yay God). It’s so easy to become discouraged when I see how much farther I have to come but on the flip side, easy to feel encouraged because of how far I’ve come. My brain is very confused 🙂

Prayer Requests:

1. She showed me some techniques to loosen my forearm and, hopefully, straighten gimpy. That hand has been worked on so much, we even drove to North Carolina and received Botox in my forearm to help relax gimpy. Nothing has worked thus far, but I believe it can! So pray that the tendons in my forearm and hand will relax!

2. There is actually a lot to walking. Your feet have to be in the right place , your knee, shin and toes have to point in the right direction , your legs have to be straight and bent at the right time, your weight has to be shifted at the right time, etc. In my mind I have it figured out, the walking looks good...and then when I do it, my body doesn’t get the memo. Pray that my body would get the patterns of walking 

Joshua 1:9 NIV

[9] Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
