Just Keep Swimming!

It's a brand New Year! My hope is that 2014 is full of  healthier and happier days ahead. I look forward to this new year with hope that the supplements and remedies I am taking will eventually be able to put this sarcoidosis into remission. I am hopeful that as I do my part the Lord will do his. I know I have no control over how long I must wait before I am free of the pain from this disease. I might even have to wait until the next life to be free from the pain. It does not matter when, because the Lord is in control and everything is according to his timetable. I must just keep the faith and never give up.

 I know this obstacle is for me to learn and grow from, I must own it, accept it,  and make the best of it. I know if I do everything I can to endure it,  then the Lord will strengthen and bless me to "JUST KEEP SWIMMING."

I was reminded of this saying as I read the January, Ensign magazine. It stated, "Obstacles come into each of our lives, but to get through them and to get where we want to go, we must just keep swimming."

The movie Finding Nemo is where this quote comes from. Dori faces obstacle after obstacle but never gets down or discouraged. She keeps her head held high and just keeps swimming right on through each obstacle she must endure. I really needed to be reminded of this today. I must continue to just keep swimming not matter what I must endure in order to conquer my own physical battle at this time.

So according to Dori, hang in there and………..
