Las cronicas de una rodilla fastidiada (Español)
(for English continue to the end)
Yo no soy una persona de estar publicando todo tu vida personal, pero debido a mi viaje misionero y toda esta aventura en la que he tenido un gran respaldo de ustedes, es mi responsabilidad comunicarles y mantenerlos informados de lo que esta pasando y lo que Dios esta haciendo en mi vida.
En la primera mañana del Training Camp el primer ejercicio era caminar con todas nuestras pertenencias (aprox. casi 40lbs) por media hr en un bosque de Georgia. Yo me encontraba super saludable pero un poco preocupada por la espalda (he tenido problemas con ella anteriormente). La espalda se porto super bien… pero luego mas tarde ese día la rodilla izquierda se comenzó a hinchar. Eso siguió ocurriendo cada uno de los días del TC, ella hinchada pero sin dolor (gracias a Dios). Todos los días teníamos caminatas y ejercicio y yo confiando en Dios (no se si un poco irresponsable pero pss Dios me sostuvo) pero me mantuvo de pie y logré hacer todo. Pensé que lo que la rodilla iba a necesitar era descanso y estaría perfecta, pero estaba equivocada.
Hoy tuve cita con mi Físiatra y me dijo que había hecho un sobre uso de ella y que el peso le afectó. Ahora tengo una inflamación debajo de la patela y estaré con terapia física y medicamentos hasta que me vaya de viaje. Porque les cuento esto? Por que yo se que Dios tiene un gran propósito con todo esto. Es normal que una persona cuando se esta preparando a hacer algo tan “loco” y fuerte para Dios todas estas cosas pasen, pero son cosas que me enfocan y me llevan a estar en oración porque esto es una batalla.
Puede que ahora mismo no este teniendo muchos problemas de manera económica, Dios ha estado proveyendo en todo; pero me toca confiar de que Dios tiene control de la misma manera en el area de mi salud. Yo estoy segura de que este viaje está en la voluntad de Dios y que esta es la fecha en la que debo salir; pero estoy segura de que tengo a muchas personas preocupadas por esta situación (yo estoy super relax). Les pido que oren por mi rodilla y por todas las personas a las que esto le carga. Esto es solo una de las millones de situaciones en las que Dios me muestra si rostro y amor. Su milagro esta presente y sé que saldré este Julio super saludable para hacer su obra.

The Chronicles of a knee annoyed (English)
I am not that kind of person that post online everything of their personal life, but because of my mission trip, and this whole adventure you have become part of my personal life and in what God is doing in me. So is my responsibility to keep you informed about everything that going on in my life.
On the first morning of the Training Camp the first exercise was to hike with all our backpack and gear (almost 40 pounds between the two backpacks) for half an hour in the woods of Georgia. I was feeling good and healthy even though I don’t exercise every day, but I was feeling a little bit worried because in the last couple of years I’ve been having problems with my back, neck, right knee. The interesting thing is that my back, neck and right knee were perfect the whole TC, the one that started to bother me was my perfectly good left knee.
That kept happening each day of TC, I survived TC with a swollen knee, thank God painless in that week. Everyday we had exercise and walks and I kept doing all of them, every step I took I was trusting in God, he had my knee in his hands. I thought that after a few days of rest my knee would be perfect , but I was wrong.
Today I had an appointment with my physiatrist and he told me I had used the knee too much and the extra weight hurt the knee. Now I have an inflammation under the patella and I’ll be needing medication and physical therapy. I’ll be starting my therapies tomorrow. Why I’m telling you this? Because I know God is going to do great things through this situation. I know is kind of normal that every time someone is going to embark in a kingdom journey like this… bad things will happen. I have friends that are struggling with the money they need for this next deadline (thank God he has already provided that money). But this are the things that help us to focus and take us to fight with prayer.
So in the last couple of days I’ve been pretty relax in the financial area, but now I have to trust God that he has control of this are too. He has my whole body in his hands. I know this is my journey, this is the time God has chose for me, but I need you to pray for the people around me (they are more concern about this than me) and for my knee ( I want to be able to help in every area, and I a healthy body for that).
Now I’m trusting and resting in the fact this is another beautiful situation where I’m going to see the wonderful power of God. His miracles are more evident every second of every day.
Thanks a lot my beautiful people!
Ps. I ask you to pray too for all of my squad mates that are struggling to meet their next deadline in just 8 days, I know God wants us all together to share his gospel.
