Miracles

Today was a miracle. Kolton and I have been praying every night, sometimes several times a day, for my strength and ability to get through my days in less pain. Today we went to an Arboretum out here, near his college. I didn’t use my cane! I almost always have to walk with a cane. There is no choice. My legs hurt too much, and I have little to no balance. I walked for 2 hours without it! (Over 5,900 steps!) Most of our time was spent in the children’s area. It was huge! I ran in the snow. I climbed through a tunnel on my hands and knees! I ran uphill. I played in a playground, rope bridges and everything… I haven’t been able to do any of these things since pretty much sixth grade, 9 years now. 2 full hours, in the snow, with under 25 degree F weather. I’m in shock… Kolton barely helped me, I was running ahead of him because I was so excited. I’m in pain, yes, and I was the entire time, but not nearly as bad as it usually is. I was on medication, but I almost always am during the winter.

When I ran to the top of the hill, Kolton and I stood there praying for a while, thanking God. I can’t think of anything else that could be the cause of this. It has to be a blessing from God… I have tried so many other things. Just last Sunday I accepted Jesus into my life… Ever since then miracles have been happening in my life. I am so blessed… I never realized how much God loved me… I honestly always thought that God hated me, that he disowned me and forgot about me… I now see how wrong I was…

Kolton even bought me a souvenier so I can remember this miraculous day. He bought two hedgehog puppets and a lollipop made out of pure honey! The hedgehog puppets are so very cute!

After I take a short nap, Kolton and I are going over to his dad’s house to help them decorate the tree and put up lights. I’m so excited! We are going to have a puppet show too!
