Technically, not technically, I am walking on my own and I cannot get this song out of my head. The song is very dear to my heart and holds many memories of a National Youth Gathering in New Orleans but now it has a new meaning.
In the beginning, I said technically because by my own executive decision I have stopped using my crutch to walk as of Monday at 11 a.m. but technically I was suppose to use it until I returned to PT on Tuesday. Do I feel perfect? No, but I feel so good to walk unassisted that any pain is worth it!
The refrain of the song:
I am free to run....no I can't run
I am free to dance.... I don't want to dance nor do you want to see me dance
I am free to live my life....yes I am with or without the blessing of a doctor
so my version to the song:
I am free to walk.
I am free to pick up a child, even if if she/he is screaming.
I am free to carry a laundry basket
I am free to mow, I haven't but I would if my overprotective husband would let me
I am free to walk the dog, I haven't but I will very soon
I am free to carry something and walk
I am free to go to wal-mart because I can push a cart
I am so thankful that I have two legs and that I can walk again. The last line of the chorus is, I am free to live my life for you. God created me, God allowed me to have this problem, and it took me a lot of strength to get through the past 50 days. I will admit that depending on others was frustrating and life in our home was not "normal," at times, I may have been cranky but now I'm floating high. I was so excited to do laundry, dishes, and put things back in their normal place!
Tomorrow at 7:30 a.m.I return to PT, let's see if my excitement last!
Please take the time to listen to this song today. God is living through you!
