I can’t help smiling when I remember waking up from surgery and asking for cinnamon toast!
It is hard to believe that it has been a year since surgery on my legs! Since passing out on my way from the bathroom, being on Vicodin, having to ice 24 hours, keeping my legs propped up on pillows, sleeping on my back, not being able to walk without being in pain, etc…

As I was thinking about it today I found myself remembering how God was faithful to give me peace and joy in the midst of pain. I was reminded of how intricately the Lord planned and laid it all before me. From the doctors, nurses, surgery dates, to insurance that covered the $10,000 bill. I am amazed!

I am reminded of the Israelites who forgot all that the Lord had done for them! I pray that I will always remember. It has been a year to the day…now I am running pain free and loving it! I continue to enjoy running and have had the opportunity to run in six races. I look forward to going for a run because I know it is an opportunity to remember and praise God for the gift that he has given me in my legs! The lessons learned…what it means to choose to have peace…to see the Lord’s faithfulness to lead me…to have joy in the midst of pain…to see how much He loves me. These are the true gifts that God has given me!

I invite you to pause today and remember a time in your own life that you were faced with God’s greatness! Think on it! Remember and live today in reflection of what God showed you about Himself.

Choosing to remember God’s greatness!
