Happy Feet Day 2015

Happy Feet Day 2015

It is hard to believe that 7 years have come and gone since my accident.  My family and I have reserved this day as a celebration of the goodness and greatness of God.  He has sustained me and will continue to do so for eternity!  I am so thankful for these past 7 years!  I am so thankful for my accident and how it has changed me in so many ways!

Last Sunday, my Pastor preached on 2 Cor 1:3-11.  These verses say what I have been living since the day I fell:

"3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings,so also you share in our comfort.

8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many."

The only reason for my accident was to bring glory to my God.  By doing so others will be comforted!  That is very exciting to me!
