Post-Injury Recovery Thoughts on Life
Posted by nathan on 05 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: thoughts on god., thoughts on life.
In the past six weeks, I’ve injured both my finger and my knee.
I thought both would heal quickly. But as I recover, I’m finding it isn’t so quick.
My finger, although better, is tender to the touch at a specific angle. The problem here, is I forget about it until I hurt it. I don’t hurt it as long as I’m thinking about it–but it doesn’t hurt enough to think about it…
My knee is also much better than it was last week. But the past few days, my knee just feels swollen. It aches. It’s a constant reminder of my injury.
This nagging injuries got me thinking about how much this is like those nagging sin issues in our lives. The thing we think we’re over, we forget about, and then when we forget about it, it pops up. As long as we’re thinking about protecting ourselves from it, we’re good, but then after a while, we slowly forget about it and stop thinking about protecting ourselves anymore…
The knee reminded me of sometimes our problems in life stay with us for a while–sometimes a choice we make when we’re young stays with us for the rest of our lives.
