crippled.

Welp. I haven't blogged in quite some time... my apologies to all of my die-hard followers (the few. the proud. the loyal.)

I've been meaning to write about my current injury for a couple of weeks now BUT my heart hasn't been right in regards to my situation. For those of you who don't know, I broke a bone in my foot a couple of weekends ago playing indoor volleyball. (I would explain more but it's really a pathetic story of a collision and a lack of balance.) Consequently I'm now in a BOOT for at least two more weeks... maybe four. I had crutches (seen below) but I ditched them pretty quick (despite the wishes of my mom. and my friends. and probably my doctor.)

And honestly... I was bitter. Really bitter. The first week was tough. I was training for my first half-marathon. My last semester of intramural soccer had just started. And to top it all off... (feel free to laugh) I started a "walking" class the week after I broke my foot. Yes, I need the credit hour in order to graduate and, you're right, I can't walk. Perfect combination. 

Thankfully, my mom (a constant sound of reason) made sure to remind me that my God is in control and is trying to show me something during this hard time. Besides, as His Word says, I'm not promised tomorrow so I better rejoice in TODAY. (But I'm not gonna lie, it took me a while to get to this point!)

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has trouble of its own."

[Matthew 6:34]

Luckily, I have some pretty incredible friends and co-workers that have been more than helpful during this time. Some have walked (lesbe honest, crawled) to class with me. Others have brought me food. Given me rides. Sympathized. Listened to me whine. So for that... I'm grateful. 

I still have my rough days and my bitter moments... Ya know, those times when you're hobbling back from class and somebody runs past you or your friends play a game of pick-up soccer. But I realize that there will be other half-marathons. And soccer games. And I'm bound and determined to pass this DANG walking class! However, prayers are always appreciated for a timely return to action and strength on my bad days...
