The Power of God

Last night I was doing another easy run in preparation for tomorrows race...let ma back up...last year I injured (insert big word) basically something near the upper part of my tibia. Since I am too stubborn to take much time off it got a micro fracture and healed...w/o having to stop running. The muscle/tendon/w.e was too hurt so no pressure could go on it so the pressure went on my tibia instead. Did I listen to my body? Of course not.
So it has still all messed up down there since then. Anyhow, I was running last night and it started hurting so much I couldn't walk on it. Damn I though it finally broke. So I stopped and got on my knees and prayed to God. Asking Him why He would allow this to happen to me. I told Him I accept whatever reason it is because I know He has His reasons. I am a firm believe that everything...no matter how horrible it seems...there is a reason for it...and is usually saving you from a worse hurt. When I was done and THANKING Him for saving me from a greater moment of sadness instead of cursing on His decision, the thought came to mind that I have scoliosis. "yeah I know" i said aloud after the thought crossed my mind. As I stood, there was a nice pop in my hips. "Ooohh YES!" I said on my way to my brother. "Crack my hips please." Ethan, who is going to be a doctor of PT knows how to do this. "OUCHHHH" Most painful crack of my life. My scoliosis cause my hips to shift out of place and with that comes pressure on my lower joints...especially the knee! I gave it a rest for the night and went on with my pain free run this morning!
God sure does work in strange ways. He tests your Faith. Mine was (is) strong and I am fine. When God tests your Faith how will you react?

Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine, after the rain.... Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall; But God's always ready, to answer your call..... He knows every heartache, sees every tear, a word from His lips, can calm every fear... Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night, But suddenly vanish, dawn's early light... The Savior is waiting, somewhere above, to give you His grace, and send you His love...
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage!
