One of those days
by adustyframe ~ July 16th, 2007My back is killing me today.
This happens to me quite a bit. I injured my back and neck at work many years ago.
It leaves me hurting, exhausted, and weak pretty often.
It’s frustrating. I want to do so many things but today is not one of those days.
At the end of these days, I feel like it was a whole day wasted.
I think I need to work on those feelings.
God allowed this injury to happen to me. He allowed me to be left with permanent damage.
These days aren’t wasted. They just aren’t the days I had planned.
2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I sent you a poem about this very thing.
I had a huge list of things for us to do yesterday, but by the end of the day, we hadn’t done much of anything. And when we did “Best and Worst” at dinner, both kids and Mike said there were so happy we’d spent the day together being lazy. My idea of productive isn’t always what’s needed.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Oh, how sorry I am that you’re “down in the back.” Bless you, friend. I’ve known back pain a bit myself so I can relate. You said something beautiful, though. “These days aren’t wasted. They just aren’t the days I had planned.” I need to remember that myself:-)
Sending love,

Thank you both. Sometimes I think we run run run and our bodies just can’t handle it.
Mine crashes often lately. I just have to know that it means to settle down a bit.
