One day all is well, and within hours the life of this vibrant active person of God is changed forever. Two months later while in rehab she is told she will be a paraplegic and to learn to live within the confines of her snazzy red wheelchair. Within an instant all of life is changed! Her response? WhatnowLord??

what now Lord?
It has been just a short time since my life as I knew it, my "normal" life changed forever. It was May of 2007, memorial day, and as I packed to head to the casino for a day of spending money I didn't have, capped off with a facial and massage at the casino spa, a crippling pain, the feeling of a steak knife ripping down the entire length of the back of my leg sent me to the floor. I would never again be the same. As the pain consumed me, I only could yell, WHAT NOW LORD!?
