Calf injury healed
About nine months ago, I went for an eight-mile run with a dear friend along the Charles River in Boston. The particular route is a favorite of ours. It winds its way along the river and past some of Boston’s most historic areas. There was an additional reason the run was very special.
In the summer of 2017, my family and I were enjoying a day at the beach. As I was playing with my children in the shallow water, a muscle in one of my legs seemed to snap, and I fell back into the water.
As I slowly made my way back to our spot on the beach, I had only limited mobility. I felt sharp pain when I tried to use my calf, which was misshapen. I am used to praying when faced with difficulties, and my immediate prayer had a calming effect. It acknowledged God’s all-power and ever-presence. I affirmed that there had never been an opportunity for anything to disrupt my eternal relation to God.
