Hump Day

Well my mom is back in the hospital. With renal failure, swelling, fluid in her lungs and a bunch of other problems. She told my aunt she wishes she would have let her die. I am so sad but at the same time have peace that we live under Gods master plan, he knew this was going to happen and he knows what the future holds for my mom. I know she will be in heaven if its time for her to go, but have great hope that if its not that He can give her some strength and will to get better and live!



On a running note...I flaked on my partner for our 5am run this morning. Just wasnt feeling it. The old me laid in bed feeling sorry for myself, thinking about my mom, thinking about my financial problems. Then the NEW me kicked the old me aside. I got out of bed and went to run. I only did a mile, but I needed it, I needed the strong feeling I get when I run. I needed the NEW me to take charge!

I am so sorry about your mom! I can't imagine the stress and heartbreak you must feel.

Kuddos to you for getting out of bed this morning and going for a run. And 1 mile is nothing to laugh at. It's 1 mile more than you were ever planning on doing this morning!! Keep up the great job!

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. That must be just so tough. I hope she makes a recovery and that you're able to get some rest.

Just keep speaking scripture over your mom, healing words, and thanking Jesus that he died for our sickness and disease as well as our sins. Jesus does not want your mom to die from sickness, He wants her to die of old, old, old, old, age, peacefully. He is still a healing Jesus today. I will pray for your mom too. Sorry you have to deal with the stress and sorrow of it all. My heart hurts for you.

I am just so sorry about your Mom. That has to be so painful for you to see.

I am super proud of you though for thinking of yourself and making yourself get out of bed this morning even if it was for 1 mile. Heck, even a half a mile would have been better than laying in bed. That took tons of strength I am sure so be proud of that.

I can't imagine how hard it is to think of yourself when all you have on your mind is your Mom. Keep doing what you can for you b/c it will only benefit your attitude and time you have with your Mom.
