Prayer Request

Written on May 20, 2018

Today I sat leisurely observing the people pass beside a beautiful lake. We were on a field trip to a Wetland Park about an hour from our home.  I went with the thought, that I was mainly going to sit through the experience while Rick and friends hiked around the beautiful flowers and trees on this field trip organized by the university.  I saw 2 sets of dance troupes practicing beside the lake. Parents teaching their itty-bitties to use roller blades, scooters, etc. A father and preteen son being escorted past with 5 bodyguards. A 4 year old pulling down her panties and peeing. A man trying to fly a kite. Two big birds perching on the light fixtures in the lake for what I assume is a light show at night. Touristing boats.  What a pleasant way to spend time. However, it was cold and rainy. I was dry with my umbrella sitting on a stone wall, but somehow it seems to have affected my knee. When I stood up I could not put weight on it. It is on the other side from my bad hip and on the same side as my banged up elbow from my wipe out on the bicycle earlier this week.  I can hobble onto the bicycle and move slowly, but how am I going to manage the stairs tomorrow for class?  I am icing, heating, ibuprofening, resting. I need prayer that we figure this out quickly and more than anything that it just goes away. Thank you.
