Practice=Cancelled!

So I had written this post earlier this morning, but it was just about me getting ready for practice and the dread of it, that I was feeling. But... I'm re-writing to tell you that practice was cancelled!! It was raining, and the courts were soaked. I'm glad that we get today off. That will help me tremendously, to let my hip kind of "rest up" from yesterday, and get ready for tomorrow. Plus... I did something really dumb last night, which is hurting me too! I had a little hangnail, and I went to just pull it off. And the hang nail came off! But it also pulled about an inch of my skin off with it, on my thumb. So my thumb is currently wrapped in tons of bandaids and not very happy with me. Man--that hurt so bad! Now I'm just relaxing and enjoying my day off! I'm going to go on a walk with a friend... and then I have small group tonight up at church, which I am soo ready for and in need of! :o) More later!

Here's for the "more later" portion! So... as you all probably know, I am in some serious pain today. But I'm really trying hard not to focus on that, because I don't want my mind to take over and "enlarge" the pain. I'm just really focused on being careful about honor. And that even though I am in pain, that I don't dishonor anyone, and then "blame" my actions on my pain. And I have to be careful with the way that I express my pain, for God's Glory, because complaining brings no one Glory, but rather causes more pain. I am just working through today with Jesus. No matter how severe the pain gets, I will follow Jesus. Because pain does not control me. Jesus does. And I always want to display that.
