![]() Last week I found my splint whilst I was packing up my desk in Cambridge, and suddenly I remembered again. I got distracted by other things, and the fact I could write without pain became normal. Just as an experiment I took the splint off again and tried writing without the support it was fine! I just kept writing with no pain at all, and in my head I was thinking, “Oh yeah! I can write! I can write! Oh yeah! Woohoo!”įor the next few weeks after this, every time I picked up a pen, or a plate or mug with one hand, it would remind me and I’d be so thankful. This puzzled me since it had been fine the whole way home. However, when I sat at my desk and put my splint on, the pain came back again. I certainly did not object to this I’d prayed a number of times for my hand before, and a lot of times the pain had lessened considerably, so I thought, “What harm could it do?” The pain did lessen, and I thought “Great!” and went back to college to get some revision done. I went to a meeting at my church, and at the end a lady came up to me and said she was wondering if I had a problem with my arm because she felt she should pray for it. I wore this splint to try to minimise the strain I was putting on my thumb, but it still got worse.Ī fortnight before my finals my arm was in a sling and I couldn’t write at all (this was a bit of a problem since I revised mainly by writing). ![]() Sort of funny, except the injury lasted through my GCSEs, A-levels (which I got through with a lot of physio and pain-relief) and throughout my degree. In school, I wrote so much that I developed a repetitive strain injury in my hand (yeah I know, what a geek!). I’ve been feeling quite challenged by this, because often I am SO forgetful! God will do something amazing in my life, and for maybe a few days, a few weeks, I will remember and be thankful, but after that I easily forget.Īny one know what this is? For those who don’t, it’s a thumb splint. ![]() … He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God.” “ “ said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. A particular example of this being in Joshua chapter 4 after God has parted the river Jordan for the Israelites to cross it, together they built an altar of 12 stones, one for each tribe. The Israelites often set up altars, not for sacrifice, but to mark and remember important events, times when they saw God’s faithfulness to them.
