Answered Prayers and Broken Ankles

I've had the same recurring prayer request since school started. I wanted to develop my attitude towards my life and the monotonousness of it all. I always had the exact same schedule and the same friends to chill with and the same work to do at the same time every week. My spirituality was suffering due to the extremely dull monotony in my life.

Then, God answered my prayers and broke the seat on my bicycle as I was going. This caused me to fall on my ankle and break it. Now everything is different. My work feels different as I move around the store with my crutches. My eating time is different because I always have to eat with people and not alone, which was the norm. My class times are different because I get extra sympathy points from fellow class mates and teachers. My social interactions are different because my ankle becomes a common topic of discussion.

The only thing that is not different is my spiritual life. I stopped dreading the monotony of everyday life and now I am focused on my ankle. God has no place in my heart and it sucks. However, there are two things that I just kind of realized which I will end with.
  1. My ankles are not my ankles. They are God's ankles and if He takes it away, so be it.
  2. I miss my skinny jeans.

you should have come out to the praise and prayer thing. if anything, that might have helped your spiritual walk.
