Alex's mom still praying!
Greetings!
"There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off."
Proverbs 23:18
Blessed Sunday!
"And this is my prayer that your love may abound
more and more in knowledge and depth of insght,
so that you may be able to discern what is best
and may be pure and blameless until the day
of Christ, filled with the fruit of rigteousness that
comes through Jesus Christ -- to the glory and
praise of God."
Philippians 1:9-11
Alex's_Mom,
It's possible your SR has shin splints, a common thing that happens, but he will be allowed to heal then try the run again, so prayers for him that he can do this!! As long as mentally and emotionally he is determined to get through this PFA, he WILL do it!! You know how our bodies don't cooperate sometimes (due to aches and pains, etc...)? It happens to young folks too. As long as he has the vision of himself as a United States Sailor in his mind, he will successfully finish even if he has to heal for a few weeks. Please, please, I pray he doesn't give up!! Many young men and women have been able to get back into the game after this physical set-back--he can too!!! ((HUGS)) to you and your son!!
