sometimes all i want to do is give up. sometimes i cant seem to let the goodness of the Lord take me peacefully over my circumstance into a place of perfect serenity and hope. yesterday was one of those times. i felt so overwhelmed, the weight of the world was on my shoulders...if provided, i could have easily ran into a cave to never return.
i am so blessed to have people that love me so much and are dedicated to being there for me in these low times. i wish i could illustrate how low i get so you could understand. so low, that as i was sitting in Starbucks yesterday, i could not stop tears from streaming down my face. no sobs were sobbed...just tears, flowed like a river. clearly i am absolutely not always positive and excited to see how God can use me and my tumors in the future. sometimes instead of that excitement i want to jump in my pity pool of 'why me' tears and cry some more. i cant tell you that i am out of my 'pool' yet. but i did stop crying.
its so hard to deal with the emotions of having tumors and chronic pain (sometimes pain is so bad i nearly pass out) i am able to do less and less physically. the unknown of where 'Big Bertha' is going to take me and wondering if anything else will become paralyzed creep up on my soul. i think 'how long until i cant walk?' 'how much longer will my right vocal cord last until it is paralyzed like the left?' 'what is this new pain?!' so many questions ramble off in my head. i become consumed. my 'indestructible' tower of hope gets surrounded by a thick black smoke and all the evil in the world follows close behind.
tears also fell because of money... oh the MONEY!!. i didn't asked for this, but i will have to find a way to pay for treatment and things of the sort. i do have some ideas on how i can fund myself but i am not certain how it will turn out (will fill you in with details soon). knowing i MUST find a way, combined with the paragraph above will lead me to start crying unexpectedly in public.
today, all of these details still worry me. but they aren't staring at me in the face. i was reminded that i have many loved ones that will not let me deal with this on my own.
thank you everyone who walked me through my day yesterday...because of you i am not sharing an unsearchable cave with big foot.
