I can truly say God is good! The walk to and from the park was great!!! It was the first exercise I have had in three days! Without that, you might have been reading a different post.
Pictured on the left is my bestest brother, Brian. I wanted to post an excerpt of his email that was sent in response to my informing him of my recent injury:
Well, well, well! - This is simply outrageous! For 16 years I’ve protected you as best I could from injury and here he goes breaking your rib when I’m not there to intimidate
him! Who does he think he is, beating on my sister?
Isn’t he great?! You can see that he is already well prepared to take on any potential threat. 
Thank you to all my brothers – and sisters – in Christ who protected me from myself, by not letting me play soccer today. One game missed isn’t too bad, even if Stacie is rubbing it in by saying how tired she is Oh well, God’s been at work so I can’t complain! Blessings upon all of you!

Well here goes another night, only this time it’s not the heat that’s going to make things difficult, I can’t lay flat on my back.
Today my education has been on learning my limits. I may have suspected a cracked rib before, but now I’m pretty sure. I felt so good on Sunday I thought maybe it wasn’t so bad, so this morning I tried to go back to my normal activities, hence I can’t lay down.
I found out that I can’t do push-ups, or run, or play soccer, or even go for a walk (I tried but something didn’t feel so good) During service hour I found out that even wiping down a cabinet with your left hand uses the muscles that are attatched to your ribs on the right side of your body. I can however peel carrots.
Sometimes God puts limitations on our life; Moses was slow of speech, Hannah couldn’t have children, Sarah was old, Lazarus was dead. In each case God put the limitation on them and then used it for His glory as He showed Himself strong in their weakness. God has seen fit to majorly alter my normal lifestyle, my new limitation has forced physical weakness upon me, but now God can come forth in a mighty way.

Two glasses of water, 20 xanga sites and 1 email later I’m back. I’m hungry now but I guess it’s still to early to venture down stairs, besides, I’ve had leftovers twice already today.
Speaking of twice, my battery is about to go for the second time tonight, that’s sad, it’s a three hour battery, plus charge time.
I really hate the feeling you get when you wake up after jut a few hours sleep. Is it really worth going to sleep? I think I’ll have to, my body is starting to crash.
My spirit is not though, another piece of info on my current struggle has come up. How do I know what to do? It’s clear in some areas, it will affect other people, there isn’t a clear directive in scripture. What do I do?
Well, here’s to 2 hours sleep. I think I see caffine in the near future.

It’s late, but it’s finally cooling down in our room. It really reminds me of summer nights back home in Texas; you lay spread out on top of your covers, whatever part of you is unlucky enough to touch anything is sweating. Fortunately there is no humidity here so evaporation can take place that helps a bit – I keep having to get up for water though.
The laptop is probably contributing to the thermodynamics of the situation, but I have managed to catch up on all my emails, so that’s been a blessing.
I did get to sleep in until nine this morning! That probably explains the lack of sleep now, is this college life? Why do people like to stay up this late? Maybe they don’t get up at five.
It has been very quiet and given me time to think over some lessons that God has been trying to get through to me. Why do we hold on to lies? Why is it so hard to give up? Why can we go for a little while and then relapse? Why do I learn so slowly?
Forgive me, it’s late – hmm, I already said that – here’s to three hours sleep!
