About a week ago I sprained my right foot better than I've ever had hurt a foot before. I spent the weekend prior participating in some hiking through fun terrain and yet while carrying a 4 year old piggy back through my yard I stepped in a hidden hole wrong and sent my foot and leg into extreme pain.
Went for x-ray's after 24 hours and found no fracture. The foot doesn't look that bad, but looks can be deceiving. Weight baring has been incredibly painful for me and I'm anxious to start running again. Gently walked a mile yesterday and am now paying the price. :-) Stubborn me....
Though this could potentially be a frustrating and discouraging event, I've decided it is a marking stone in my life. 1) With all my adventure seeking activities I've never actually hurt a foot this bad before BUT more importantly
2) I've experienced and seen the Body of Christ function as Christ intended it and been so blessed to experience God's grace through a bunch of imperfect people. I've learned to let people love and help me. I've had meals brought over, rides to school events that are actually a 45 second walk away, friends stopping by almost constantly, company at the hospital, and a package from the Lakeland's women's retreat - Thank you!!!
All a reminder to me of how God so preciously takes care of us and uniquely demonstrates His love to us in circumstances in our lives!
