"Gracious words are a honecomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." Proverbs 16:24. Today is my yearly bone density test to check and see how my old bones are doing. About 5 years ago the doctors discovered that my bones were that of a women in her 60's. I am only 35! Since then I have been tested for everything you could imagine and still no answers. So I have resolved that this is just me. This is the way I was made and I will move forward and deal with it the best way possible. It has not stopped me from doing the things I love although many people told me I should stop running and racing. However, I am more caucious because I don't want to be stupid about things. I do want a healthy body and pushing myself past my limits isn't smart.
Anyway, today is the day I am tested again. I have been praying for my bones to be the same and just not to have gotten worse but that is limiting God's power. I need to start being bold in my prayers. And be willing to except the answer I am giving. So, each day I will strive to be a source of encouragement to others, I will strive to have gracious words come out of my mouth as the Bible verse says. Not just because it is 'healing to the bones" but more importantly it is "sweet to the soul."
