Well, I've mentioned briefly in the chats that I've hurt my legs, So here is the whole story. I'll explain.
This is really a series of 4 weeks of events that happened.
5 Weeks ago it was very wet and slippery outside, when going to take care of my grandmother I slid down her ramp. Praising God that I was able to catch myself on the rail and not fall onto the concrete slab. But as I caught myself twisted my right knee and ankle. I was able to dry the ramp before anyone else found out it was slippery. Thank God it was me not my grandmother!
The next Saturday, we went to a bunch of stores to get stuff for my cousin's wedding. One of the parking lots was packed, cars were everywhere, when I was trying to cross over to get to our car, another car came out of nowhere coming within 2 feet of me. Almost hitting me. In my backing up, I twisted my left ankle... But praising God that all that happened to me was a twisted ankle. I could have easily been a splat if it wasn't for God's hand of providence sparing me. And it made me evangelize with more zeal and passion that day because of it.
Mid week I was feeling better so I was working on stacking wood, when I twisted my right ankle again in one of the skids.
The following Saturday was the day of my cousin's wedding. When I went out that morning to take care of my animals, Something blew into my eyes as I was walking down the steps. When I was wiping my eyes I missed the step and fell down the stairs smashing my knees into the ground.... [apparently I can't multitask to well when it involves walking]
Fast forward to that evening, at the wedding reception, the ground was uneven because the party was in a recently harvested corn field, everyone was moving and I was trying not to step on the bride's dress train so as to not make her fall, as I did I put all of my weight onto my bad ankle promptly causing me to fall backwards and roll out of the tent... bruising my right hip... Not to mention I am still recovering from my bruised tail bone from back in May.
The next day at church I was holding a baby [2 year old] and she decided to try and flip out of my arms.. when catching her I pulled my left shoulder.. But praise God I caught her before she fell in to metal back of the chair in front of us.
That evening I was banned from doing any crazy work, and told to rest. My dad loves me! But I hate resting!! So I've caught up on a lot of crochet, planned most of Christmas' gifts and packed some shoe boxes for children this Christmas.
Well that's what happened. God is good! Thanking God that though this wasn't the most fun experience for me, He was taking care of me the whole time, and I was able to serve Him through it. Being in the right place at the right time. God truly works all things for the good of those who love Him!
So if you take anything away from these experiences of mine, Trust God, and pay attention to where your walking! Both spiritually and physically.
Praying for you Delanie!!! Please take the time you need to rest, so you can heal, and not re-injure yourself. I know you hate to rest, but sometimes, we just have to!
God is good!
