Toe–touch crunch

I’m gonna keep pushing my semi-paralyzed butt to get in gear and DO THIS!!!

This exercise will target your upper and lower abdominals by crunching your upper body and keeping the lower body isometric. Start by lying flat in bed and raise your legs so your body forms a 90-degree angle. Lift your arms above your chest and contract the abs to lift the upper body. Crunch upward until the fingertips touch your toes before slowly lowering yourself to the starting position. Repeat for as many repetitions as you want.

Smacked!!!

I’ve been smacked with a renewed sense of determination. Yay! Someone just asked about a gap in my résumé in late ‘02. Nevermind that it was the icky dot.com crash… my arm was paralyzed that year. It stunk, paralyzed w/o health insurance. It’s all good, I got better. After 3 months of acupuncture and LOTS of prayer, I was able to stop using a sling. I won’t be in this chair forever, I’ll just need to work real hard and believe. Why didn’t I do that sooner? Well, getting cancer twice, four years apart and all the accompanying surgeries & treatments kinda got in the way - kinda. The Lord is good, he won’t let me down; I’ll get better. ^._^

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.

- Corrie Ten Boom

I saw my Lord by me, I believed I wouldn’t be paralyzed for long, and He gave me my arm back.

Only human, I actually forgot this blessing and got back to MY life without looking back ‘til recently.   :o  Jesus fixed me and I know he can do it again.  I won’t be in this chair or hospital forever, I WILL be able to walk again - you’ll see.  My faith is in HIM and I’ll not stray.

Lord, as I share my trust in you from this chair… I think it may be quite effective.  Not only do people SEE me, they LISTEN too.  You’ve given me speech, confidence, an audience, and made a witness of me - in thanks, I’m working on growing & strengthening YOUR church and declaring YOUR awesomeness to the world.  I love you!
