Today:

1. Bryan and I have our first red-line meeting on our house this evening! This is where we sit down and pick out the exact layout and floor plan for our home. We are really excited!
2. My parents celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary yesterday. That is wonderful and commendable!
3. So, it didn't realize that I could actually make the nerve problem worse by doing things that hurt me. That may sound really dumb, but I just thought pain was pain and I could push through it for a little bit. Right? Wrong. Turns out that I kind of over-did it during moving weekend and I have aggravated and inflamed my pudendal nerve. So, I'm taking steroids now.
4. Last night, I told Bryan that I felt that God had called me to share this experience with others so that I could be an encouragement to someone going through a similar challenge. With that in mind, I woke up this morning and didn't feel I had the strength to get out of bed. I told Bryan I was 'out of juice" and had just pushed too hard. When I read my devotional this morning, it was as though God was speaking directly to me. Here are some excerpts from my Lifetime Daily Devotional today: "It is alright to get so tired that you feel like you can't put one foot in front of the other. It's not bad to cry when your emotions soar to the pinnacle because of grief, pain or loneliness. We are human and Jesus understands because He was once human... This is one of the most precious truths he has given us: 'I understand.' "
5. Lastly, I consider myself to be largely apolitical. I care very much about social injustice, but I find ways to be involved in those causes outside of the political arena. With all the debates and campaigning going on, we're all saturated in politics ad nauseum. I saw this clip online and realized: this is what politics sound like to me. Enjoy!
