Today marks 11 weeks post-op.
It's amazing to look back and realize that 11 weeks can be so quick and so short at the same time.
So much has changed in the past couple of months, and I would have never anticipated it.
It's amazing what happens when you stop making plans and start living your life open completely to the possibilities and plans that God has for you.
When all of this started, I did not really know what my expectations were for what I would be experiencing right now. I guess I felt like I would be returning to the same crazy busy life that I had before. Running from class, to calling ball to coaching.
My life has been transformed quite a bit, and now that I am returning to umpiring finally I have come full circle.
I did not anticipate the gains in leg strength and cardio that I would get from the month being slayed on the Airdyne. I did not anticipate being able to back squat more than my body weight and being able to run faster than when I was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant 8 years ago.
...even more so I did not anticipate being so content in having so much of my life unstructured. I did not expect to be so happy to be completely responsive to the will of God and being open to plans greater than I ever expected.
There have been many blessings that have come out of this time. I have been more available for my dearest and closest friends in times of need. I have been more kind and responsive to my brothers and sisters in the streets.
..and I have formed new friendships and relationships...
Had I not been subdued and running around like a crazy woman, I doubt I would have had time for a date, let alone the time, availability and presence to form new and meaningful relationships.
God is so good to me.
...and I can't wait to see what He has in store for me.
