Keep your eyes on the One who loves you and cares so deeply for you, hurts with you, and yet knows what is best for you.....even when it doesn't make sense at the time. Love you girl!<br /><br />Hollie <br /><br />HollieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844706754587540365.post-18132826486148076012010-02-28T12:21:24.689-08:002010-02-28T12:21:24.689-08:00Oh Meagan, I just want to drive to you ad give you...Oh Meagan, I just want to drive to you ad give you a hug. It's so hard to hear what we shouldn't do. It makes us want to do it more. And you're right the physical activity is an important part of it all. I used to be a runner, and I loved it. But when I was in high school, I tore a ligament in my knee and did what every high school student who just made varsity does ... I made due with the injury. Now, I can't run at all. I've been told by doctors each time I re-injure it that there will be a knee replacement in my future. I was told not to do anything that would put pressure on it, so I because a kick boxer (bullheaded?) an you can imagine how that went...<br /><br />One good thing is that you do have writing as an outlet, but there are still physical activities you can do. You may not be the tennis playing retired golfer, but you could be the hot grandma who does yoga on her front lawn and still looks hot in a bikini. <br /><br />Keep your chin up. God has something great planned for you. He may not answer when we want Him to, but His answer always arrives just when we need most. <br /><br />Big hugs, Meagan, from the Unscripted house. I'll be praying for you. Keep faith. God will show you the way.Ivyhttp://www.unscriptedlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844706754587540365.post-55612854665440583052010-02-28T05:24:32.083-08:002010-02-28T05:24:32.083-08:00Oh Meagan, I can relate to this post on so many le...Oh Meagan, I can relate to this post on so many levels! My hubs and I have always been very physically active. But now he is suffering from the exact same back situation as you. As for me--too many different annoying physical ailments to include in this short comment.<br /><br />But as much as it seems like God isn't listening, or giving us the answer we want (or that we're advising him we want! ;o) We know God is good and understands what is best for us, even when it doesn't seem like it at the moment. He sees the big picture that we can't. <br /><br />Keep writing, praying, and doing whatever type of physical exercise you can. That's what I'm doing. And I'm sure that eventually we'll look back and realize we were hearing that still, small voice all along.Name: Holly Bownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079363337603264641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844706754587540365.post-67280145012494055072010-02-27T07:48:50.022-08:002010-02-27T07:48:50.022-08:00Thank you for writing this blog post.

I will keep you in my prayers, and keep your eyes out for the next little joy God gives you to enjoy today!Cara Nitzhttp://www.yourworldnatural.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844706754587540365.post-87801390735036287482010-02-26T13:44:43.113-08:002010-02-26T13:44:43.113-08:00Wow...

Infact something incredible may come to you because of these incidents and you'll say, "If I hadn't had back problems this joy in my life would never have come." I love this Kahlil Gibran quote:<br /><br />"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.<br />And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.<br />And how else can it be?<br />The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain."<br /><br />By the way, I self published my book!
