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&#8217;t use my cane! I almost <em>always<\/em> 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&#8217;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&#8230; I haven&#8217;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&#8217;m in shock&#8230; Kolton barely helped me, I was running ahead of him because I was so excited. I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-130 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.pandtastic.com\/?attachment_id=134'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pandtastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/blog.pandtastic.com\/2009\/12\/Multimedia-message2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.pandtastic.com\/?attachment_id=135'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pandtastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/blog.pandtastic.com\/2009\/12\/Multimedia-message5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.pandtastic.com\/?attachment_id=136'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pandtastic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/blog.pandtastic.com\/2009\/12\/Multimedia-message-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>When I ran to the top of the hill, Kolton and I stood there praying for a while, thanking God. I can&#8217;t think of anything else that could be the cause of this. It has to be a blessing from God&#8230; I have tried so many other things. Just last Sunday I accepted Jesus into my life&#8230; Ever since then miracles have been happening in my life. I am so blessed&#8230; I never realized how much God loved me&#8230; I honestly always thought that God hated me, that he disowned me and forgot about me&#8230; I now see how wrong I was&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p>After I take a short nap, Kolton and I are going over to his dad&#8217;s house to help them decorate the tree and put up lights. I&#8217;m so excited!
