Watch for Ice!

So, last Sunday, as I was leaving church, I slipped on black ice in the parking lot, twisted my ankle, and scraped it up pretty badly. With this being the last week of school, I haven't felt that I have been able to rest it up and allow it to heal. My ankle is still swollen and has a nasty scab on it...totally gross. Through it all, however, I have come to remember that God never sends anything into my life that he has not planned perfectly. God has a purpose for myself hurting my ankle. Through this "injury," I hope to glorify my Savior. I don't wish to draw attention to myself or have others pity me. Pity makes me shrug off the pain. I get prideful and say "I can handle it." I try to do things in my own strength, but God has reminded me that it is only through His strength and empowering that I can do anything. Through God's strength and empowering, I hope to get through this final week of classes and see God work marvelously through this Holiday season. :)

Love you all!
