BROKEN THINGS

I have decided that the Lord loves broken things because He loves me. And I have felt very broken lately. My knee is still pretty painful for me--especially at night. I keep wondering how long it will take before I feel "normal" again. It hasn't even been two weeks yet and I expect so much of myself.

I know that the Lord loves broken things because He called me to be the Stake Young Women's President in our stake. I am excited and so humbled by this calling. I know that I have a purpose in being called at this time---maybe it is just to strengthen me spiritually, emotionally, and physically. I am working hard on putting myself back together again with His help. Physical therapy takes hard work in building back my muscles. Repentance takes hard work in building up my spiritual muscles. Both must be done and I will work hard so that I don't fail at either one.
I just get so frustrated with myself and wish that I could change things over night. I just need to have faith, patience and trust in the Lord. For in the strength of the Lord, I can accomplish all things. And I truly need His strength.
