Really not liking the crutches!!!!

I am still on crutches for another 3 weeks! AAARRRRRGH!

Well, youth was interesting to say the least on wednesday night. We spent about 15 minutes on Revelations and the rest of the time on Ash Wednesday, Lent, the church calendar, the preparation, fasting, praying.....everything....they had so many questions.....

And then there was the Ash Wednesday service. After explaining it to them, two of them came up to me and said they just really weren't sure about the whole ashes on their forehead thing. I assured them it was a choice to get them or not but really hoped they would attend the service. They did! They did not get the ashes but they did stay for the whole service. Anxiously awaiting our conversation next week!

Back to the crutches thing.....I am completely bummed out. I know that things could be so much worse but today I am having my own little pity party. I have done my best to put my best foot forward and stay positive but all I really want to do is cry and I will later on. But tomorrow is a new day....a gift from God and I will enjoy it and learn as much from this experience as I can. I am, however, pretty sure I did not pray for patience....hmmmm.....maybe somebody else prayed for it for me..........
