Using my feet can be a real struggle at times since I began my journey with Wilson’s Disease. Whether WD is forcing me to walk pigeon toed or making my feet do their own jig, getting from point A to point B can be very difficult. Sometimes I just stay put till it passes, or I gain some more energy to deal with it. Other times I use my cane or add weights or my least favorite way I crawl. I used to dance for crying out loud! Now I’m lucky if I can crawl! It feels so unjust & very humbling. Of course, the more upset I get the more intense my symptoms get, & I end up in a very dark place. I finally came to the realization I can’t just muscle my way through this, I have to surrender. I’m not saying give up on myself, but surrender my struggles to God. To follow His path & His teaching. I get to choose to turn to His word & remember it’s all in His timing & will. He knows I have things to do & He is ready to help me do them. So instead of getting mad or frustrated, which let’s be honest is only adding to the problem, I’ve started giving it to the Lord. I pray that if the task ahead of me is part of His will & timing that He would make a way. Sometimes that looks like waiting, others it’s an instant unlocking of my body or He sends me someone to help me accomplish my task. Our God is an outside the box thinker. He sees what we can’t & always knows the best path.

In today’s verse Your Word is a lamp for my feet in Hebrew roughly means: Yahweh confirms His word of promise & His Word guides at every step. A light on my path: His Word also illuminates & enlightens our pathway. He really does & I am forever grateful! I’ve also become grateful for my dysfunctional feet too for 1 they make life interesting & for another they have taught me my steps don’t have to be taken in my own strength. When I lean on Him for strength, He makes my burden light.
