I have been reflecting this semester on what I value. So far, I have come up with a few things that I know I value highly.
1. People. I feel most alive when I am talking one-on-one with someone having a meaningful conversation. This semester I have been trying to be more intentional about making time for those kind of conversations...and being open to them even when it isn't convenient for my "schedule."
2. Wisdom. I have been praying a lot for wisdom this semester. I have come to love Proverbs 8. I desire to be someone who makes wise decisions.
3. Friends who challenge me. I need friends in my life who challenge me. I need friends who can call me on my crap when I am in the wrong. I need friends who are not afraid to risk hurting me in order to help me. I look for this in all relationships.
4. Fun. I LOVE to have fun. I enjoy spontaneity and crazy, silly times. I can only go so long before I need to go do something fun. I love to laugh, especially with other people.
On another note, I have started physical therapy for my ankle. Yeah I know, you are probably thinking "I didn't know you were still having trouble with that" or "I had no idea there was anything wrong with your ankle." If you go back to my June posts you can read all about my ankle injury. Basically, it healed incorrectly and my range of motion is only about 20% of what it should be. I am doing exercises to help get my range of motion back. They are very simple things that you would probably not even think of as exercises...but they are very painful for me. My chiropractor said she hasn't seen an ankle as bad as mine in a very long time...awesome...NOT. I am hoping and praying that these exercises will help me get back to normal in time for summer. It is a very slow and painful process, but I know it will be worth it in the end. If you think about it, I would appreciate any prayers for this. If these exercises don't work I am afraid something more drastic may have to happen...surgery. Yikes.
