Today I am tired! I slept for 12 hours straight last night and slept in so much that I had to eat to take meds before my workout. I have GERD so that is not fun but I made it through! Thank You Jesus!
Each exercise was hard. My body is tired; really tired.
I had to do laundry today because I didn’t have any clean compression hose to wear.
Jamie gave me some wool laundry balls on our last visit and I love them! I tend to have to hang sweatshirts in the bathroom to dry the rest of the way before they can go in the closet…not today and all our clothes were noticeably softer. What a gift. I highly recommend them. I hate dryer sheet, they are bad for the environment and usually have way too much perfume on them so I don’t buy them…these dryer balls are a huge money saver and are biodegradable. I have been meaning to buy them but they just never made it to the top of my priority list…Jamie scored an amazing gift for me…she is such a thoughtful friend.
Karen has walked all over Longview today since the car is at the shop. She walked to the church to work and then over to check on the car. She also walked to the gym to train someone and stopped by Safeway to see if they needed help…she came home long enough to eat something warm (thank You Jesus for inspiring me to get dinner together early in the crockpot), change her clothes and walk to Safeway to help them close. She is such a trooper…and not one complaint. I am so thankful for her.
She caught me mending her shirt before she left and asked me if she had popped a button or something…she likes to take the blame for silly things (in my mind)…so I told her, that I bought a 30 year old shirt, on purpose to replace the one I made her get rid of when I was still trying to make her dress like I wanted her to…women can be so stupid…we always think we can change our partner…I like the look of the worn shirt. It had a life before we ever saw it…the shirt had not torn, it has begun to wear out…but luckily it was along the hem and I only mended it to keep it from fraying because Karen always tucks it in so no one will see it. I told her I didn’t even have to do a good job at mending it, I just didn’t want to lose the hem. She is happy. So am I.
When I get off of here I am going to take a walk around the building so I can keep my word to myself that I would walk every day before my surgery. I hope to take a shower but I will wait for Karen to return home, in case I have asked too much of this body and need help.
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful night. God bless you.

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven.

If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this:
Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world.
I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me.
I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
