I have torn my meniscus...possibly both of them on one knee. My own fault. Trying to do something my body wasn't ready to do and snap....pain! My personality is like that, you know. I'm the one who carries ALL the grocery bags in at once to be "efficient". Or I plan what I will carry when making a walk through the office to drop off things to people on my way to the bathroom - saving steps and time. I'm not alone, I know this because others have confessed it to me! What are we thinking?!?!
It seems there is a flaw to this system because now, I'm broken! Now, I sit with ice on an elevated leg outside of working hours and often while sitting at my desk at the office. Now, there is no exercise program or walking regimen or pretty much any kind of activity whatsoever. Now, I am simply still. I feel lazy and fat, boring and bored.
Taking advantage of this time is what I should be doing, rather than being frustrated by the stillness. So, as I pray tonight it will be focused on asking God to change my heart. Asking Him to help me to be OK with the stillness. There are so many things I want to do (notice the "I")....and He simply wants me to be with Him seeking His plans and will rather than what I think is His will.
Challenge for today: You are out there too. I'm not alone in this! Spend some time this week being still with God. Listen. Love. Do the daily "boring" things with a cheerful heart! Enjoy and embrace the stillness!
P.S. They will do an MRI on my leg and most likely, surgery to fix it. Apparently, cartilage doesn't heal...go figure! :)
