on the mend

Today I am again home from work mending from my close encounter with the driveway yesterday morning. I had every intention to go in today, especially since I normally only work 1/2 day on Friday. However, it just worked out that I only had a few people scheduled and they could be easily moved to another clinician's schedule so they called me and told me to take another day if I wanted. I woke up this morning and sort of laid there testing everything to see how sore I was. I expected to feel like I'd been hit by a truck but actually I feel decent. My knee is still a bit puffy, tender, and tight when I bend it and my neck and shoulder are tight and sore but overall I am pleasantly surprised by how good I feel. Thank you God for the amazing ability you created in our bodies for quick healing and recovery.
I find myself today wondering about the little boy who DHS called us about Wednesday; wondering where he ended up and how he is adjusting. I am praying that he is on the way to finding the stability he needs so he can get on with just being a kid. I haven't heard any updates from the social worker so I am operating on the assumption that the situation has been resovled without our help. God is really comforting me, especially in these last few days, that there IS a child out there for us and that he or she will arrive in His perfect time. I'm learning that there is value in the waiting as I learn the amazing calming effect God can have on my spirit when I start to release my death grip of control.
I hope that if you also find yourself waiting on God that you will find peace and joy in the present and sweet hope for what's to come.
