Recently while at a Physical Therapy appointment I learned I was doing everything wrong. In fact, I was causing more damage than good. Life is like this sometimes. Our efforts and actions come from a place of good intentions, yet they result in pain and destruction. In pursuit of comfort, I had accommodated the injured parts of my body, catering to them if you will. I had overextended and weakened some muscles, while restricting and tightening others, resulting in a loss of functionality. This type of behavior was decreasing my mobility and increasing my pain. So many times this type of physical activity parallels our behavior in close relationships. We over extend ourselves, in order to accommodate others. The result, injury. Or at the least, this interaction leaves one exhausted and discouraged. Sadly, the byproduct is similar, a weakened and less effective relationship. How do we recover from such an injury? Take responsibility. Tighten up. How? Use our muscle...
Some call me Coach, she calls me Momma, and hers calls me Granna, but He calls me Songbird. I have a song to sing, a story to tell, and occasionally a warning to share.
