Curve balls & Obstacles May Appear But You Shall Still Soar High

Hello Everyone! This has been a long journey for me. I began with excitment and joy, my heart was pulsing when I took the leap forward to decide to run my 1st 5k in June 2012. Well the past 2 months has been a huge heart moment for me. The 2nd week of april I ran a great run..it was an abnormal 4.5 mile run I ran for 1st time..a push for myslef to see of the distance, funny it felt great and i didnt push myself that I was hurting..That day was a little tiring and a little sore, tho I did hear and feel a slight pop..tho without discomfort--maybe it was a usual pop..I got home dripping sweat with a smile on my face. So, that day I went to workout and usual and it was hurting a little but not terrible..so i pushed through it. Well a mistake it was...I woke up the next morning with intense pain in my hip and back...it was horrible..honestly fell like my hip was locked in place. I was brought to tears. It had been a while since i have felt that kinda pain. I am keeping positive and reading my WORd and just know that I will get past this pain and will still be able to run my 1st 5k June 23rd. I am excited. I am also had thoughts of running with the pain...IDK if that is wise but as a fighter..that is all i can think of. As i was in pain, I stopped working out and running and now had even more time for GOD...it was a great joy having time to rekindle with GOD. I was so focused on HIS word and what it truly meant nothing was breaking my barrier of healing, I would beat this because Jesus was whipped for my healing so I was healed from this pain already. Still optimistic that I will be able to run. Been going to Physical Therapy for a couple weeks now..I have had real bad days at the beginning. PT dr would be stretching and pushing around the pain then I get an ultrasound therapy message with a US machine with heating pad. I would after 5 weeks I decided to go to the dr, knowing where I standing and knowing I would bless and cover the Dr and medication I would need for help in removing this pain. And so it was after the dr. I went home with a smile because I believe that in my heart I be running in no time and this was just an opportuniy to relax my body and have for time with my father GOD! Now its been nearly 7 weeks and I am going back to the dr because the pain has increased..with my faith I know I am strong and a fighter..GOD is with me through this whole thing...honestly I am getting frustrated...devil is trying his best to attack me when I am down. Figuring this is a great opportunity to get me fearful. I just went to my Ortho appt and I figured it was just a consule and talk about my pain...it became more. I had a new xray, then talk to dr, then an xray/implant placed in my ligament where it hurts. The procedure was painful..i got numbing medication for it but still felt movement of the implant..and my leg went tingly and numb. Yet again more tears came with this too. Oh and the Dr and his words just shot me down...the devil sure got his best at me...The Dr has told me that there was people that have hips to run and there is a small percentage of people with abnormal hips that really shouldnt run...the dr told me I am one of those that shouldnt run. I was told my injury is old from pregnacies and that is never healed so that is why the pain is worse now when I began to run. Whose to think when I began to run and workout it would actually ..supposely bad for me. I will admit I felt defeated...I did spaz out and feel depressed for a few days..i can tell ya I was so mad at this whole thing....I am not a person that gives up so this was just an aweful feeling I had. Now after Time with GOD and great words of encouragement from special people in my life I can now move forward. I was orignally suppose to run my 1st 5k run June 23rd...IDk if I would be ready for that one..there is suppose to be another 5k race in near by down in August..IDk if i will go to that one. I have no idea how this will all work out but I do know it will out. I am not sure when and if I will blog through here again. Maybe I will continue maybe I will start a new chapter in my life. IDK. All I can say is that there will be ups and downs in your life and you still not give up on what you love to do. Never give up on what you love to do...No matter the obstacle! GOD BLESS!!!! Keep Soaring!! Came home after the appt not able to relax and I had been told relaxing and no heavy lifting still and Pt can restart after 7 days.
