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??

Do you Best!
2 Timothy says ,concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won't be asahmed of, laying out the truth plain and simple... (according to Peterson). It is not easy using a walker and limping into the courtroom sometimes. I know a lot of people are looking at me and wondering what happened. Some have looks of pity on their faces, and others ask me why I work. I was never asked why I worked when I was able bodied, but a walker sometimes gives the permission for that question to come forth. I work because I can, because I have been blessed with a skill that is unique and that I do with my moutn shut! Some consider that a big blessing. I work because I am intent on lisitening, and while listening and watching the parties I can pray. Who can beat that??
