Our Body is a Miracle!

Life is getting exciting again!  As I may have mentioned in my previous blog, I had a pity party one night when my foot was hurting and I felt frustrated because I hated being dependent.  I cried, and talked to God about my situation.  The next day, Pastor Larry called, and told me that the church staff had prayed for me in their weekly meeting.  A few days later, my swelling went down and I was able to stop the medication, and not have to use those dreaded crutches.  I could still feel the bone spur on the back of my heel, and was very cautious while at the doctor's office.  He gave me a soft cup to wear on my heel inside my shoe, and now I can walk with very little pain.  Yeah!!  I continue to be amazed at how intricate our body is and how everything fits together.  We are all miracles!  We did not just happen anymore than my watch is an accident.  An intelligent being designed and made me.  And, my designer can fix me if it is not my time to join him in my heavenly home.  Faith is the key!

One reason I am excited about life again is because my husband planned a trip to New Orleans.  He knows that I have always wanted to go there.  I was afraid my foot had ruined the trip.  Now, we can go.  We will fly, stay in a hotel near the French Quarter and take a lot of tours that don't require walking.  My kids have attended conferences there, and loved the culture. 

I taught my Bible Class last Sunday.  Leo was back after having pnuemonia.  I visited him while he was in the hospital last month, and I wasn't sure he would make it.  He is so chipper now, and invited the class to his birthday party.  He will be 80 years old.  Our bodies are miraculous!

I have resumed teaching my piano lessons.  My little girl who is going blind loves the song, "He Is My All In All"  I am teaching her how to improvise with chords so that she can play anything if or when she loses all sight.  She sings like a little bird!  We are more than our bodies.  We are soul and spirit.  I love that child! 

Bill is finishing up a college on-line class this week, and will begin  a class for teachers tomorrow.  He has been substitute teaching at Gordon Cooper Tech School, but today he has a new challenge.  I'm laughing and praying at the same time!!  Jesse Hernandez is in our choir, and the director of the Early Childhood Center in Shawnee.  He asked Bill to come in today to help him.  I wish I could just watch.  I know he'll do great, but he's not use to the accidents etc.  With God's help, he'll be fine and he knows that.
