ups and downs

so there are two parts to this post.
first the light-hearted one:
yesterday i returned to my exercising love...the pool...i jumped in (taking advantage of so cal's 80 degree weather in the middle of january)...first lap...great...i still love this...second lap...why did i stop, this feels so great...third lap...why did i stop, my arms are KILLING me...
all in all, i only swam 700 of the 1000m i was up to before, but still felt good that i made it that far. i did go to bed thinking maybe i'll go back tomorrow, and woke up feeling the lovely cold that my daughter has had all week taking root in the back of my throat...maybe i'll rest today.
and now the spiritual one:
my prayer and fasting has really been going great. within the first few days we got some answers about things that we were unsure of...and it truley was a HUGE blessing...but then there are days like today, where i just don't know what's going to happen and i'm honestly a little discouraged about it. i'm being reminded everyday that God is in control, he's never let us down, he's always provided...i just can't get past the wanting to have it all figured out stage.
let go and let God...i guess i'm still working on that one.

Good for you Dayna! I'm glad you enjoyed your swim. On the spiritual side, it is always hard to sit and wait, I know, but when prayers are answered they are the best thing in the world! Hope you feel better!
