I went to the gym for the first time in 7 weeks – oiyabojoya! Going to the gym used to make me feel strong, but this time. . . whoa – a lot of stuff went through my head – it was good, it was hard – I have a LOT of work to do to get back to where I was. . . . . although my new friend/blog stalker was SO strong! It was really motivating to see her running faster than she thought she could – I was inspired – maybe I can do things that at this point seem impossible. . . I tend to be a bit of a pessimist, and not believe in myself. . . . ugh. . . I really love this particular verse in the song –
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain’t gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you …

Hey, heard you were up all night
Thinking about how your world ain’t right
And you wonder if things will ever get better
And you’re asking why is it always raining on you
When all you want is just a little good news
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather
Oh, don’t hang your head
It’s gonna end
God’s right there
Even if it’s hard to see Him
I promise you that He still cares
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain’t gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you …
Try and do the best you can
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it’s gonna end
God’s right there
Even when you just can’t feel Him
I promise you that He still cares
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain’t gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
‘Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I’m sure that He’s gonna help you get through this
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain’t gonna last forever
In time it’s gonna get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Hold on just a little bit longer
The pain ain’t gonna last forever
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you stronger
Hold on just a little bit longer
The pain ain’t gonna last forever
In time, it’s gonna get better
Believe me, believe me
Hold on just a little bit longer
The pain ain’t gonna last forever
It’s only gonna make you stronger
Hey hey
I've been feeling the same way. I need to get back to doing what I know I should be doing and work at it everyday. It has been so easy to let things slip by but I don't feel good about myself. I know I can it because I've done it before. I need to rely more on the Lord and I will get back to where I was. Good luck and good for you getting back to the gym. I am physically healed from my surgery but my body isn't the same. That will take a while to figure out but I know I can do it and so can you! Have a WONDERFUL day!
