“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.” – Mary Anne Radmacher
Today I had to fight for my well-being with a doctor because my health doesn't "fit" in his box.
Its really hard to fight all the time.
Fight for yourself.

Fight weariness.

Fight an all- consuming disease that has riddled my body for more than half my life.
Fight for composure.
Fight judgement.
Fight for myself among doctors.
Fight tears.
Fight to stay present.
Fight to swallow one more medication, one more iv.
Fight to feel productive.

Fight for investment.
Fight the precursors & explanations.
Fight the tornado of emotions and feelings.
Fight to rest.
Fight disconnectedness.
Fight for honesty.
Fight expectations.

Fight for balance.
Fight pain.
Fight the looks.
Fight for joy.
Fight for hope.
Even in surrender there seems to be a fight.
I know who God says I am. Sometimes I need to fight, knowing there are more with me
than with “them.” But sometimes I need to lay down my burden, lean on the One who is steadfast, knowing in my weakness He is strong, that He will renew my strength, that the cross has the final word.
Therefore, my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.
For You will not leave my soul in hell, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalms 16:9-11 NKJV
