Sabbatical Day 2

What’s wrong with this picture?  Well, I haven’t even made it out of the long weekend and I am already sidelined by a sprained ankle.  No, I don’t have a broken toe, that’s just “Rayfield” genes, my brother has the same toe . . . just not quite as pronounced.  

I was out playing soccer on the front yard with Clay and Elijah and a few of their friends.  I stepped into a slight depression in the lawn and “pop, pop, crack” I was down, with that predictable shooting, burning pain that finds its way up the leg.  ”Hmmm. I guess this is going to affect my run tomorrow morning . . . and maybe for the next few weeks.”  

Well, things happen and although this is not how I planned to spend the first few days or weeks (we’ll see how it goes) of my Sabbatical, it is how it is and the Lord knew.  My plans for the first two weeks were to start running again (was shooting for every other day and 10 lbs by the end of June), Finishing all the projects around the house and getting out for some fishing.  I guess running and projects are out . . . I’ll have to try fishing.  :-)

Thank you Lord for sidelining me with a swollen ankle.  Please use this situation for your purposes, help me not to miss out what you want through this.
