Music....keeps me going.

Grateful for music...and lots of it...have itunes jamming on the computer in my room and the ipod jamming in the kitchen. So no matter where I go in this shoebox of a flat, I hear music...music to keep me going, get me motivated, take my mind off my worries. Music to seep inside my heart and make me think about good things, bad things...all the amazing things that make life worth living. What would I do without music?

Tomorrow is the big day. Four hours and a battery of testing to determine whether or not Jake has FA. Last night I was watching Extreme Home Makeover...there were two little girls with muscular dystrophy and the team rebuilt them a home that was accessible for them and it was truly amazing. I hope and pray that I never have to worry about that. I hope that all of these symptoms are just growing pains, normal childhood issues and not a sign of something worse. But again...I believe that God does not give us struggles that we cannot overcome. I have faith that if the worst is to be, we will be strong enough to get through it. I have a deep and powerful faith in God. I am not a churchgoer...however I don't feel that you need to be in a church to believe in or pray to God. And I know that God is in control of all things. I truly feel that Jake was put on this earth for a very special purpose which is yet to be determined. He will make this world a better place. He already has. My world has brightened up so much since he came into it. I am a very lucky mommy with two amazing children....God has blessed me and continues to do so each day. And I thank Him for that...every day.

So I have another day off...I am still sick but feeling better each day. I have the music going and now it's time for me to get going...packing, switching out the summer clothes, cleaning, laundry, pulling out Ashley's air conditioner...a good day to get some inside chores accomplished. It's chilly outside. I have my dad's thermal shirt on to keep me warm and music to motivate...so off I go.
