What the enemy uses to harm and destroy, God will use for good. He creates beauty from ashes and can make all things new.

I’ve been dealing with a weird rib subluxation/injury over the past week and a half that cropped up out of nowhere. I couldn’t even raise my left arm over my shoulder last Friday.

But I’ve been through enough of these situations that instead of letting fear reign, I immediately start looking for how God is going to use the challenge to grow me, equip me and strengthen me.

Today was monumental. I was able to increase my number of reps on 10meter in a single workout by 30%. And I felt strong at the end of practice.

Because of the rib injury, over the past week I’ve been forced to depend more on and be more confident in my arm that I’ve struggled with for years.

Just because something isn’t going the way you want or hope, doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. In fact, it very well may be the thing you need to push you to that next level.
