I did it!!!!!


2 tennis shoes...finally!!! I'm having trouble with my left foot turning towards the outside when I walk....I'm hoping this will straighten out eventually. My laces are so loose with my new inserts!

Tyndall Park.....sweet!!!

Me & Luke before the big journey!
After 6 months of dealing with my crazy foot I did it! Luke and I went to Tyndall Park today. Before I hurt my foot I was walking 5 laps around the park. I would do this 3-4 sometimes 5 times a week. I loved it. It was my worship time, my prayer time, and just enjoying God's beauty time....as well as working my heart and lungs.
Today, I wanted to tackle 1 lap. The temperature was dropping and neither of us brought a coat, but I was able to walk 1 complete lap around. My toe barely hurt!!! My ankle is bothering me a little, but it hasn't been bent in 5 months either. I can't begin to explain how amazed I was that I could do 1 lap! I really could have cried!!! I'm hoping to start this about every other day for now until I go back to the doctor the end of the month. I would like to be back to 5 laps by March...that isn't unrealistic is it???
Thank you Lord for the small things.

Praise God! I'm so glad to see a picture of your shoes! Sounds odd, but...
