hospital happy list...

As some of you may know, I am once again in the glorious place known as the hospital. The hospital is, by far, my least favorite place to be in the world. Yet I seem to find myself here often. The times while I am in the hospital test my faith more than I would like for it to be tested. However, I usually learn more about my God and his faithfulness during these times than the easy times.
In order to keep myself far, far away from the doom and gloom attitude that I so easily go to, I am going to make a list. This is just a list of random things. Random, positive things that I learn, enjoy, or am grateful for while in the hospital. I will focus on the positive, praise Him in in the storm, and CHOOSE to be joyful.

My Hospital Happy List:
1. I can watch all day Law and Order SVU marathons without feeling guilty.
2. I get to literally see how much I am loved by people in my life via phone calls, flowers, cards, balloons, texts, hospital visits, facebook, emails, and much more.
3. My mom buys me new pajamas every time. I don't know why really, she just does.
4. I get to make friends with all the nurses on my hall. I know them all by now though, so its more like catching up with old friends.
5. I get to rely on God for everything.
6. I am humbled. I see how I simply cannot survive without my Lord and Savior.
7. I get to see miracles and answered prayers daily.
8. I chew lots of gum.
9. I watch lots of movies.
10. Towards the end of my hospital stay, I get to have slushies. Lots and lots of slushies. I sure do love slushies.
11. My faith is tested, I persevere, and I grow closer to Jesus.

This list was hard for me to make. It was my first instinct to create a long, long list of negative things about being sick. BUT...that is simply pointless. I will focus on the good. I trust that the Lord has a bigger plan for my life. Bigger than my chronic illness and bigger than this hospital bed. He is able, good, and faithful. I am right to trust in Him. Well then, that's all for now! Have a good day! I sure hope this post makes sense..sometimes I am a bit loopy in the hospital. :)
I love comments. Some people have told me it is hard for them to comment. If you would like to comment, comment as 'anonymous' option and if you want, leave your name in the comment. Thanks for reading!
