Making It Through

I have been counting down the days until I celebrate 6 months with no hospitalization. Half a year... I have 6 days left. I am really being challenged right now, but I think I can make it. I've been the closest to a hospitalization than I've been in awhile. If I am successful in making it to 6 months, it will be the longest stretch I've gone without a hospitalization since 2010. Not a small feat.

Sometimes we just need to take it day by day, step by step. Some say we take it in "baby steps." As my mom always says, "Progress not perfection." We don't have to be perfect, but we just have to keep moving forward and making progress.

This past week, I felt very overwhelmed at times. Worried thoughts were coarsing through my mind. Fear was running rampant. But I took the necessary steps I needed to in order to stay out of the hospital. Things are still very rough but I am making it through each day.

Some days are harder than others, but if we stay in tune with God and allow Him to strengthen us, we can make it through anything.

I wanted to share two songs that have been on replay for the past few days. I hope and pray that they speak to you in a powerful way, in the same way that they have for me.
