Crutches, Books, and Cards
It’s been two days since I got home from the hospital. I’ve mainly only been doing 2 things: reading and sleeping.
I’m also learning how to get accustomed to crutches again. I can honestly say it’s harder the second time around. When I first started using crutches last year, it was new and exciting. It’s another story now. Plus, it’s more difficult because of the CRPS in my left hand. I hope I don’t have to be on these for long.. But, if so, I know God has a good purpose behind all this.
I’ve been able to read some great books since being home!
1. “Grace: A Child’s Intimate Journey Through Cancer and Recovery” by Melinda Marchiano
|
| Though I don’t have cancer, I’ve been able to really relate with her journey and struggles! Plus, she’s a teen like me. And, she was homeschooled! Isn’t that cool? |
2.”Implosion” by Joel C. Rosenberg
3. “I Come Quietly to Meet You” by Amy Carmichael
|
| A friend gave me this when I was in the hospital. Thank you so much, Holly! <3 I have been thoroughly enjoying it and am trying to read only one devotional a day to make it last. That’s hard, tho.’ |
This past week, I received so many cards while I was in the hospital that I decided to paste them all on the wall next to my bed. I’m so thankful for each one of you! Your cards and loving words so encouraged me, and I will treasure each one of them! Sorry it’s kinda blurry, but here is the finished product:

| In addition to all the cards, the two picture frames are from my siblings. The big one to the left was for my spiritual birthday a while back (in honor of the day I became a Christian in 1998), and the right was from my older brother for when I graduated from high school last year. |
Hope you enjoyed this post!
