Entry 10

I seem to be getting better every day which brings excitement to the possibilities of what my summer will look like. I have been praying that God will open a door for me to serve Him with my time, and I feel that He has not only taken time to help me get better but also provide me with an amazing opportunity for this summer. I have been given a chance to work at Camp Caroline all summer as the lifeguard, and I feel that by June 11, when I'm suppossed to go, I should be completely recovered and ready to go. I have been swimming and working out and trying to regain as much strength as I can. Today I was able to walk around the house without my cane which only makes me more excited as I go to bed tonight. Its interesting to me how the doctors can't seem to put a finger on what is going on, yet they seem to be quick to try and diagnosis me with a condition that fits the parameters of their field. I pray that God will give them wisdom and discernment to simply be truthful in any diagnosis they may give.

Legs are working better,

Entry 9

Well today was another great day. I was actually able to stand on my own for a worship practice! Singing songs like the stand and such are great and so meaningful but when I could actually stand and sing it, well it was nothing short of a great time. I feel like God is working more and more in my life on a day to day basis and that I am actually starting to know what kind of man I want to be. God has taken me in his arms and has really got my attention this month regardless of whether or not at times I may try to squeeze free of Him. I have been tired of not knowing who I am and what I am or what I want to believe, and He has shown me grace in my unwillingness to listen to Him. I truly can't imagine my life without God. I have experienced so much of what it would be like and I would feel hopeless. How does anyone live without knowing Him? It takes more faith to believe in nothing at all...I just hope that I can be an example and a light for Christ as I grow and begin to look at my life with Him truly at the very centre.

Excited my legs are working better,

Entry 8

Well it seems that I am getting better all the time which is so exciting. I am very encouraged that regardless of the past three weeks, I can feel hopeful that I will recover fully so soon. I pray that God will continue to heal me as I recover and get back to things.

Encouraged that my legs are working,

Entry 7

Well I feel like a bit of a male cinderella haha. Kinda sureal in a sense that today and jsut before the fun night last night, I was able to stand for a bit and even, with a cane, walk very slowly up the stairs!! I can barely believe it myself and I am still holding my breath that at midnight I won't go back to the way it was haha. I am so blessed to have the constant support from my family and friends that even amidst the struggles of even recovering, I know without a doubt that there is a positive side to this all.

Wishing my legs would work even better,

Tyler

Entry 6

Today is an especially good day because I am lucky enough to have been invited to go to Theatre Calgary and see a musical!! So excited. Even amidst the frustration there is joy in the day to day events that I am so fortunate to experience with my friends and family.

Entry 5

So after a weekend away in Herbert Saskatchewan, I am feeling pretty rested and encouraged. My family and I decided really last minute to escape and visit my brother and sister-in-law, which was so good. I really enjoyed the time spent with them, seeing their new place and finally gaining some context to put all of their stories into. I also realized how much I miss them. Being a twin, I've never really realized how connected we are and it really makes me feel like an empty or half full battery when Im not around him. He is becoming such a man of faith and has emense trust in God. I am so proud of them and what they are creating together as a new family. I can only now focus in on this week, with doctors appointments and hopefully some physiotherapy and try and speed up my recovery so that I can get back to life per usual.

Wishing my legs would work,

Tyler
