MONDAY NOVEMBER 20, 2000.

6 years ago today-my life changed forever. It was the day I broke both my wrists. I can actually remember it so vividly-even up to what I had for supper right before basketball that night-even what my dad said to me as I was heading out the door. I can even remember all the people around me as I laid on the floor waiting for my parents to arrive; even now it just feels like it was a bad dream. But I know it wasn't my life changed completely after that day. To be honest as I look back, and even though I struggle with constant physical pain I don't have a bitterness about it. My dreams of traveling as a nurse or a sports therapist had vanished in that split second. But "someone" far bigger and greater than I had(has-it's on going!) a much better plan. Which have included-
**Going to a Christian Boarding School for my last 2 years of High School
**Traveling to England for Bible College at Capernwray-and making life long friendships
**And now to be working in Switzerland as a missionary..which has showed me what my true passion is-to work with those who are on the fringe of society.
This "someone" who is better known as my Lord and Savior! has caught every single tear that I have shed from the frustrations of being more limited, through all of my physcial pain, and even down to the tears of Joy as I have seen him answer many of my prayers involving my pain.
God has truly blessed me and revealed himself to me more because of this accident. I guess deep down I am thankful for it, because I don't think I would be who I am today, or where I am today without these trials.
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me." Jer. 29:11-13
Thank you God for turning such Ugliness into real Blessings and Beauty-which can be used to glorify you!
