I can't really think of a title for this post.. :)

It's been a while since i have posted anything on here. I realize that i have had nothing to write about. Nothing in my life has changed, since the car wreck. I have been feeling very frustrated lately. I'm just fed up with the way my life is right now. The weather has been amazing this whole week, and it is spring break! But i've spent three out of the five days of spring break at the doctor, getting my back checked on, and haveing to do Physical therapy every time i am there too. But when i do have the "free time" I can't do anything with it. My list of rules that the doctor gave me for my back is literally like ten times longer than the list of things i can do! I'm allowed to walk, and i'm somewhat allowed to bend and pick stuff up from the floor, and i am not allowed to pick anything up that is heavier than 7-8 lbs. But since i'm allowed to walk i decided to go to the park with one of my friends. But i don't have a car, and my mom has to work this whole week. Spring break? That doesn't exist for me. And tonight after dinner it was gorgeous outside. The sun was starting to set, and there was a slight cool breeze outside. Pretty much perfection. So i wanted to ride my bike, then my parents said that i'd be in a whole lot of trouble if i did that. So i was gonna sit on my rooftop outside my window and read, it's one of my favorite things to do. And yes, you guessed it, i wasn't allowed to do that either! So here i am, pretty frustrated, feeling like i should be able to do something! Atleast sit on my rooftop! And it is one of the hardest things for me to not be bitter about the situation and circumstances that i am in right now, and have been in for the past month and a half! It's so hard to trust God and to trust that He'll pull through for me. It's hard to trust in His Word, and to realize that "He works all things together for the good of those who love Him". [Romans 8:28] I know that God will pull through for me and work this all together for me, because i know that God's word is truth. But it's hard to believe that He will, when it seems that He hasn't yet. So i'm trying to focus on the good things right now. Like, 1- Even though my back is broken, i am not paralyzed! 2- I don't need surgery to help heal my back. And 3- we found out that we are getting way more money for my car, since it is totaled, than we actually paid for it! So even now God has already proven His faithfulness and His love for me! Though my circumstances be unpleasant and painful, He is here to comfort me every step of the way!
"Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms!" -Psalm 68:19

I'm sorry you're frustrated, love. It was great having you over last night, though.
I'm sure it's a trial to be having to learn to deal with this, but at least you're learning patience and how not to be bitter in hard situations now. You could always be learning it in a harder way.
I love you!
