So, some of you know that my doctor grounded me in June. For at least a year. I'm not allowed to have a calling, volunteer in anyone's classroom, take on any projects...nothing. That was a hard to accept but I knew he was right. I even had to admit to myself that I can't watch my precious nieces. (That almost took a 2x4!)
I made it to about half an hour of Stake Conference on Sunday before Lane had to bring me home. Wow, am I broken!!! I've had to remind myself many times over the last five weeks that I'm glad I have a body....
Well, now I'm in solitary confinement.
During the day, while my children are at school, I am not to take any phone calls, answer my door, etc. That added instruction came from a more Divine source than my doctor, but after just three days I'm feeling the benefit. I'm getting stronger, taking less medication etc. It's hard, but like anything else Heavenly Father directs us to do, it's right. I have to conserve all my energy for my family and even then I'm far from what I'd like to be doing for them.
Is it wrong of me to feel proud of myself for listening this time before He had to use a 2x4?

I guess tha Girls Camp is out of the question next July? Sometimes I wish that someone would ground me. My life can be a little crazy sometimes.

It's interesting the trials we are given- I guess it's a reminder that we can't do anything without the help of the Father and the Son. So humbling. I love you and I am glad you are taking it easy! I know it is probably tremendously hard for you, since you are such a giver, but know that you are still making a huge influence on many lives, especially mine- your kind words are so uplifting! Love ya!
Can you answer the door if I bring you lunch and sit on the end of the bed while you rest? I'm sad that you are struggling.
