It was strange learning how to do everything again. I could only start with leaving my home for about five minutes. Then, I could go around the block. I worked my way up to an hour. I worked hard on listening to my body but also pushing myself. After a couple months, I went to a café. Four months later, I went to a restaurant. It took me even longer to be comfortable driving again. In a way, it was frustrating. But in another way, I have become amazed at the body and its capacity to heal. And each new “normal” everyday thing that I could finally do felt not just like a victory but had the same excitement as doing it for the first time.
It has been a strange year, but I am not ashamed of this story. I know God has given it to me. I know He has a purpose. I also know that God was with me, by my side, through it all. Never have I experienced God’s faithfulness more than I have in this last year. Never have I felt His presence so greatly. He never left me alone. I don’t know nor do I understand why this all happened to me. And I still have healing to do. But I do know that God is good. Always. #springsoflife #thankful #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness
