Pain

I just GOT it!

I have been praying for God to heal my trigger points in my hip. My goal once that heals is to eventually work back up to being in the martial arts. The fact that with deep tissue pressure (using her elbows and her body weight!) my massage therapist can make those muscles relax and I can walk normally with no pain makes me think . . . well, that it's possible, maybe even likely! (Hmmm, what does this say about my faith in God? "It's easy, God. You can do it!")

But today I change my prayer. I THANK GOD for those trigger points in my hip! There are many reasons for my gratefulness, but the biggest is that, for now, at least, God wants me here -- with this pain, with this immobility, with this limp. Maybe I will never get over it. (Remember Jacob's dislocated hip.) That's okay. Lord, if this problem can glorify you, let it be! Thank You.

Thank You.
