a time to rest.

well, i broke my ankle. actually, i broke my fibula [which i hear is a leg bone] but very near to my ankle.

i was at our annual STINT briefing last week, along with 250 others like me who are going to the world. it was such a joy to be around friends and to see their excitement as they head to places like mexico, france, north africa, japan, bosnia, and so so so many more.

it was on my way down from copper mountain [after ski lifting and having lunch at the top] that i slipped and fell. it seemed like such a minor fall- there was no dramatic tumbling, no paraphenalia flying, and no jean tearing. but there was a broken fibula. yikes.

i'm currently spending my days in a splint, waiting for the swelling to go down so that i can find my way into a hard cast. pray that nothing shifts- i sure don't want to have surgery on the september agenda.

and speaking of agendas, it looks as if the Lord has a little bit up His sleeve. i still plan to be italy bound as soon as possible. it just looks like it won't be happening alongside my teammates. but the Lord is good. He is in control. i don't know why, or what He has in store for these upcoming weeks, but i know it will be good. and it will be best.

please pray for a speedy recovery, for complete restoration, and for sweet times with Jesus.

Love you, praying for you daily, and believe alongside you that our sovereign Lord is perfect in His plan and timing in all He does. He works with reason, purpose, and for eternal good. One thing for sure, I'm loving the extra time we're having together over dinner trays, puzzles, and even nail polishing!
