FEELING SO DISAPPOINTED

 
Jesus looked at them intently 
and said, "Humanly speaking, 
it is impossible. But with God 
everything is possible. 
(Matthew 19:26)

After my encouraging experience the other day where I was able to go for a real walk with a friend (and the help of my walker), I started looking into rollators with a seat so I could take a little rest when going on even longer walks, and downloaded a virtual WorldWalking app to my phone to keep me motivated. 

Today, when I set out for another walk I had high hopes of making it even farther, but that's not how it played out.  I felt pain almost from the getgo, and was barely able to get three quarters of the way I had gone just a few days before. The way back was agonizing, and drenched in sweat, I practically collapsed when I finally got to my apartment.

I feel so, so disappointed. My first thought was to call it quits. Forget about the rollator. Forget about continuing with physical therapy. Just give up. That's what satan would love for me to do. But only God knows the end from the beginning, so I choose instead to keep on keeping on and put my trust in Him and believe that He is working all things out for my good and His glory.

Tomorrow is a brand new day.
