Your Hands

Last night, I went to see a PT at Super Jock and Jill for a short consultation, and he found that I have some mild instability in my lower back which makes my right leg a little weaker than my left.  This weakness puts more pressure on my foot to hold it all together so it seems there's a strain that has developed in the tissue. He taped up my foot to see if that would help. I was encouraged, but I also knew that this might just be a temporary band-aid. 

I tried to run this morning to see if the taping helped, but things hurt a bit just as I made it down the block so I stopped. This song by JJ Heller was playing on my phone on this short lap around the block, and it was just what I needed to hear: 

I have unanswered prayers

I have trouble I wish wasn't there

And I have asked a thousand ways

That you would take my pain away

You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand

How to walk this weary land

Make straight the paths that crooked lie

Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking, heaven stands

When my heart is breaking

I never leave your hands

When you walked upon the earth

You healed the broken, lost and hurt

I know you hate to see me cry

One day you will set all things right

Yeah, one day you will set all things right

When my world is shaking, heaven stands

When my heart is breaking

I never leave your hands

My prayer for you on this day, Taylor, is that you will know that you never leave His hands when you are discouraged...
