When I was 8 months pregnant with Ozella everything was hard. I had every problem that I had before with Luke, the shots I had to take once a week, keeping check on my diabetes, sickness, and soreness. I also had my hips pop out of place. Which was horrible pain. Getting up and down was almost impossible. I had to go to physical therapy 3 times a week. Just so I could walk.
During this time Justin had been selected to become a Chief in the Navy. This process is a very trying time for those that go through this. They have to go through very many physical, emotional, and intellectual tests for a month. Day and night they work so so hard. Justin did such a great job on everything he had to accomplish during this time. He is such a inspiration to me. Me on the other hand, I was so nervous and scared to start the whole process. I knew this meant i would really have to step up at the house and make sure everything was taken care of while he had to go through all of this. Justin didn't push all this on me. I just wanted to do everything I could to make it better for us as a family. There was times he had to work all night and go straight to work in the morning. No sleep in between. At 8 months pregnant all I wanted to do was rest up and sit on the couch cause I didn't feel good. But God stepped in for me once again through all this. He gave me all the strength I needed through this. Physical, emotionally, and spiritually. My hips got better during this time. I wasn't that tired through the day and night. It wasn't cause I got more rest, cause I didn't. It was just God giving me strength. Also I am so thankful for all those that prayed for us during this time. I could feel the prayers a coming. I realized right then and there that I could do ANYTHING with the Lord's help, cause that wasn't easy. That was a trying time for me and God showed me that he is able to give me strength when I seek him. That trail gave me strength for the future. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. Psalm 28:7
