at tennis, i was serving a little more and stronger than my body could handle, and thus... i get sore and achy shoulders and elbows. but i've really been noticing my shoulders. and stick with me here, even though i'm probably taking this way too far.
could this symbolize, or be jesus trying to portray to me, that i am holding way too much weight on my own shoulders? i mean... how often we hold way too much in, or depend way too much on ourselves, or just carry burdens on our own that we don't need to, and we overload our shoulders. god can handle it, but we cannot. we each have to evaluate ourselves with god, but personally... i know that i put way too much on my own shoulders. i depend too much on myself, instead of relying solely on god. i know that today at church, carol rettew did an incredible sermon on hidden sin, and we all have it. you can lie to me and tell me you don't, but you do. and about the weight that adds to ourselves, and our shoulders. (check out joshua 7) that adds weight. i know i have vulnerability issues, and often times carry my own burdens, instead of approaching others for help. and so maybe... this is one of those times that god is trying to talk to me, and i'm just ignoring it and blaming it on tennis. maybe we need to think about the weight on our shoulders, and ask god for help in lifting it off of ourselves. what are you carrying on your shoulders?

I don't have hidden sin! What are you talking about? (eh hem...)
I think that even the fact that He brought that image to your mind is Him...I remember last year when I fell and broke my kneecap, and it was bleeding and completely open for the world to enjoy...and the only song I had in my head, over and over was "We fall down, we lay our crowns at the feet of Jesus, and we cry Holy Holy Holy is the Lamb".
He uses our bodies as reminders that we are in bondage to decay, like Paul says (in Romans, I think, but don't hold me to it!) But also that we are feeble and our bodies are not meant to carry the weight of our sin. You are sooooo right.
Now, the challenge is to poke around in our hearts and find out what we are carrying on our shoulders...I guess I need to ask Him to point it out...I did that one time and He replied, so LOUDLY that I wished that I hadn't asked. "Duh. Pride?"
At least the shoulder took your mind off the hip for a second?
