How funny of it that just a few days ago I was saying how hard it was. Things have continued to change as I await my release. And yet, I've found my Prince of Peace. I blogged a little bit ago about wanting to lose weight. I want to do it the right way this time, I'm not limiting myself to non-sweets...that just makes me miserable. No, this time I'm just watching my calorie intake and exercising, the progress is going to be slower, but the progress will last longer! I joined www.sparkepeople.com and have fallen in love with that site! There are teams formed that support eachother, I'm finding myself praying for strangers, encouraging others. And, I've found people with DDD (Degenerative Disc Disease) like mine! They are losing weight and banding together. Its awesome to know I'm not the only one in pain everyday, but we are not only stepping on that stone in the road, but we're going over it and continuing on!
So much is happening. My Colonel Chaplain, and my company commander are both doing research into what and why this is taking so long. How blessed am I? I didn't even have to ask for help. They saw the stress I'm going through and willingly struck out to try and help my situation. These are just two of the amazing men I work under. I thank God for them. I can't imagine how hard it'd be to go through this whole process without what I've started telling myself is Team Emily...or if the office would name it...Team Auntie Em. I want all of you to know, that you mean the world to me. Not just those here with me helping me through it, but everyone back home and yes, even my friends online. You all are doing amazing! Thank-you, you're all the answers to my countless prayers for God to send his mercies down. What an amazing God we serve that He would send me such an amazing team of angels. I truly thank God for each and every one of you!
