Greetings to All of You Lovely People!
I hope this finds you well.
I am doing as well as can be expected. This is definitely a learning experience. I am learning to SLOW down. Well actually, I've been FORCED to slow down. Things that I could do in a matter of minutes or even seconds now take me much, much longer! I have to depend on other people a ton! (For almost everything.) It's difficult for as most of you probably know. I am "Miss Independent," "I can do it" person. Now I have been turned into "Miss Dependent," "Please Help Me" person. I guess this can be turned into a spiritual lesson as well. We all like to think we are in control of things. It is our lives after all. However when we surrender to live a life for the glory of God and we give Him our life, we are saying that we fully trust Him and without Him we are nothing. I have had a lot of time to think and this came to mind the other day. It is easier for me to trust and lean on God rather than people. Maybe this comes from past experiences of having been hurt deeply or let down by people. That is why we don't put our trust in man, but in God. I am learning all sorts of things about myself. I am learning that taking medicine can be a good thing even if I don't like it. I think one of the biggest lessons, though is definitely how precious life is. It is but a vapor. God has me here for a reason. I hope and pray that I can live my life to the fullest on a daily basis pleasing to the LORD. These ramblings are just some of the things that I've been thinking about lately and I thought I would share them with all of you.
I am so thankful for the people here who are taking care of me. I am very thankful for those of you who are far and are praying for me.
Now for some photos... DISCLAIMER... If you have a weak stomach, don't look at the photos of my leg. They are really kind of gross! Some of you have requested photos so I am fulfilling that request. There are also photos from the hospital.
This picture is from the store before the accident. NOTICE in what language the instructions are available. I thought I was in Thailand. :)
The view from my window. I didn't get to see much of it, but the visitors loved it.
This is what they gave me my medicine in... dessert, what? I thought they were drugs.
Photo 1: My left leg banged up and my right leg with the gauze still on it.
Photo 2: My stitches. I have lots of bruises all over both legs, but I thought I would spare you. Every time we clean it out... I still say eww gross!
Flowers from the teachers, staff and students at Legacy. They made me smile when Nathan brought them in.
In the hospital eating yogurt so I could take the pain meds. Smiling because they said I could go home!! :)
My hotel... I mean hospital room. I think the guys were little sad when I got discharged because we couldn't hang out in the spacious room with everything you could hope for in a living room. Comfy couches, free wifi, a mini fridge, tv with dvd player, and an AC. Too bad we weren't there for a better reason!
I think that's all for an update for today. Please continue to keep me in your prayers as well as Aj. Leon Sexton.
Lots of Love from the Other Side of the World! The adventure continues!
