Life can change in just one instant.

There are days I cannot move my limbs. Days I need a cane or scooter. Days when movement is painful and even driving becomes difficult. Days when I have to reach out to friends and colleagues for help.

But through it all, I have not cursed God.

Like Job, I am still searching. I am still asking questions. I am still trying to understand the reason for this season.

And perhaps I am beginning to find it.

I found my voice.

I found a reason to share my pain, my journey, my purpose, and my hope. To remind someone else that even in a difficult season, life is still worth living and purpose is still worth pursuing.

Even if my journey eventually leads to a wheelchair, I am not giving up on God or the purpose He has placed in me.

I am still going to pursue my dreams. To become the doctor I am called to be. To write. To build. To be a mother and wife. To become everything God has placed within me.

And you should not give up either.

Stay with me on this journey. Read my stories. Maybe something in my story will help you make sense of yours.

There is still life. There is still hope. There is still purpose.

I am content and I know my place in God but I have intentionally choosen to use this season to be a blessing to another through my writings. My voice can reach a million people even though my limbs may scarcely be medically fit to move around most days.
I am still grateful to God for life and so should you.
