Kicking butt and taking names!!



I've found myself feeling a little down lately. There are so many things I would like to do but it's like there is always something holding me back. Whether it's my vision or just feeling exhausted and not having the energy. I have a ton of great intentions but never seem to get the ball rolling.
 (I just have to add this in. It's really early in the morning and as I write this, and big G's hand is resting on my shoulder. My strength and encourager. Love this kid. And love that he still gets excited about having a sleep over with his Mama while Dad is working on the weekends!!)
Anyway. The more I think and pray about it I'm realizing that this in itself is another battle. Satan wants me to feel like crap. He wants me to sleep all the time and tell myself that I can't do these things. He wants me to sit back and do nothing while each day slips away.
Now I know I need to take it easy and take time to rest. But I have decided that I refuse to let this bring me down. It has definitely changed me and I'm sure it will continue to. But change isn't always bad. Different yes. But it can be good too. And the best part is it can be used for good. So that's where I'm going with this. I'm going with the good. On the days i feel tired, I'm going for a walk. When my vision is bad, I'm going to go out somewhere that I've never been no matter how hard it is to navigate an unknown place. When I feel down I'm going to reach out to someone else who needs encouragement.  Whatever negative comes my way, I'm doing the opposite. I know there will still be days ahead where I feel terrible and have a hard time pushing through. But I know that God will be right there with me giving me the strength and whatever else I need to get through. He still totally has a plan in all this and I trust Him more than anything. He is the reason I've made it this far. He is my everything.

So as I start this week of double chemo y'all better watch out!! This chic is kicking some boo-tay!! Oh ya!!
