I was a little nervous of the traffic on Gorge Road, I did ok!
Today, I left Royal Jubilee Hospital, rain and clouds ahead. In my little side view mirror, puffy white clouds and blue sky. I felt like I was headed the wrong way.
As I turned onto Haultain, the rain increased to the point that I needed to put on my jacket, I was getting pretty soaked.
As I continued on my way, I started thinking about how far I've come. A year ago, I couldn't walk a couple feet without being winded. I didn't have the energy to go from the bed to the bathroom to the couch without feeling like I needed a nap.
I was keeping up with traffic, following the same green Toyota Echo along Gorge, until the hills....I was thankful that God had brought me through, that I learned what I needed to, that I was pliable, that I submitted to God and that He built in me the character I needed.
5 years ago, I would have never biked to RJH on my own. So many changes.
As I faced the hills on Gorge, (same as the 'Cliffs of Serwa') I was thinking the wind was now at my back, the clouds had thinned, the sun was shining down on me. I thought, I love my life. I am so thankful for it.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
