Be grateful!-2nd blogpost 

Living  with a disability  is not easy! There are so many thing I miss- hugging  people, clapping  my hands, folding laundry, putting  on eyeliner on the top of my eyes,  holding my husband  at night, fixing my daughter's hair, cutting steak, and countless more things that you probably  take  for granted  every  single  day, but losing the use of my arm and hand has taught  me a great  lesson  in spite of my loss. In this life, it is more  important  to be thankful  for what you do have versus complaining about  what we don't  have.  I have a greater  appreciation  for the gift of life after experiencing  such  a great loss. Going through  a tragedy  can open  your eyes  and get your attention  like  nothing else. I did not have a love or a compassion  for  other  people  as I  do now.  Going through  a tragic  experience  in which I almost  lost my life has taught me to care for others  in a much deeper, passionate  way than I ever did  before! I would not exchange my experience  or my disability  for the love that I have now. I am so truly grateful  for all that I  have  gained  through  my experience.  God is so good all the time!♥️

Matthew 5:6- says,  "Blessed  are those  who  hunger and thirst  after  righteousness  for  they shall be filled." I was never  so hungry  for  God  until He was all that remained  after my horrific  car accident  and  then he became  all that I had because  I  felt I had lost so much so I had no choice , but to turn to my God and seek him with all of my heart. He became  more  real to me  than ever  before.  His Word became alive. He spoke  to me  and I began to truly  listen.  I had quiet times that never  existed  before  and God became  SO real to me. I would  not exchange  my loss for the gain I have  made in Christ since my accident  because  everything  is rubbish  compared to knowing  Christ.
