Affliction’s refining fire…

For 8 long weeks, I’ve wrestled with debilitating pain in my right leg and hip, a humbling reminder of frailty. Training for a half-marathon, once a boastful pursuit, now laid aside.MRI results revealed two hip labral tears, a stark testament to the fragility of our bodies. Yet, in this weakness, I find solace:“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” […]
