Excitement and Struggles

Yesterday after running my foot was quite sore. I didn't think much about it as I broke this same foot last year and just figured it was a little "aggravated". However, today my foot is causing me some pretty serious pain. This is a major disappointment as I was truly looking forward to running my two miles today. I'll see how I'm doing when I get home today, but I'm guessing I will not be running today.

On a brighter note, we have had 234 pages views since I started this blog 11 days ago... that truly blows my mind! If you are visiting this blog, please comment and let me know where you are from and what drew you to the website. I would love to connect! This will help me to make decisions about the blog as well. Thank you for visiting and for your support!

The passage I would like to share with you today is Romans 12:12: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

Our 234 pages has brought me so much joy and hope towards this blog. Today, I noticed that someone had visited the page from Ukraine. I truly cannot believe it. I am so glad that this is working as almost a mission; spreading the Word far and wide.

This foot injury is coming as a disappointment. I definitely feel as though it is holding me back, however, I will be patient. When it passes I can continue on towards my goal.

With both this excitement and this struggle I am praying. I have prayed prayers of thankfulness and prayers for patience. I have a rule that I am trying to follow, that with each prayer of request I put in that I also thank God for two things. It is so, so important to me to be thankful... "Dear God, I am concerned about my foot. I prayer that you heal it and give me the patience to allow it to heal. Thank you for allowing me to come as far as I have with only minor setbacks. Thank you for driving people to this blog..."

Stay healthy!
