Many already know, but exactly a week ago, I broke my ankle. My friends and I went to the beach one night to watch the sunrise (which was beautiful) but not worth the consequences. I saw a shark and decided to jump in the water to wrestle it... well it wasn't the smartest decision I've ever made.
End results: a broken ankle
That meant that my double jaw surgery I have been planning to have for 2 years had to be rescheduled because I was supposed to have it last Tuesday which was 2 days after the broken ankle had happened. The doctor was afraid that a blood clot would form and kill me. Didn't want to take that risk for obvious reasons. Well this is the second time we rescheduled this surgery because I was going to have it last December but the doctor said I wasn't ready.
For the third time, the surgery is scheduled for May right after my last final. I was planning on going to Venezuela this summer on summer project with Student Venture but now I can't go because my jaw surgery will take a good 2 months to completely heal.
As you can imagine my disappointment in all of this from one stupid decision to go to the beach one night impulsively.
What have I learned in all of this:
Jesus loves me more than anyone in this world and I have trusted my life with Him. So if this is His plan for me, then I will rejoice all the more in my sufferings.
He will make me more beautiful through all of his because I will become even more like Him!
Consider it pure joy my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4
God's plans are not my plans. His are greater.
