I apologize a little misleading on the title. It is actually a personal milestone and I live in Grand Rapids. Not even Grand Rapids, a outlying suberb. A home on Ballard in Grand Rapids is my first home that we (my wife nad I) ever bought. So I like to think of myself as a Grand Rapids, MI native. Ever since my accident I have known I have a purpose in life. So this is a quick reflection on my life over the last 7 years. Why 7 years? Tomorrow is the 7 year anniversary of my life altering experience. I told my wife I could only use the excuse of my accident for 7 years, that is fair enough right? So tomorrow afternoon around 1:30 7 years ago I was riding horse. Was it a bad thing that my horse fell and I was in a coma for 3 weeks? Looking back it was only a postive experience. At the time we (I say we because my family suffered the most) were going through the valley of the shadow of death it seemed. My parents were assured that God would have His will in my life and that if God wanted me to lead a productive life than God would heal me. If I wrote all the thoughts and feelings that I have experienced the last 7 years, it would have to be a book. I will just close with this thought. Life is precious and everyday that I wake up alive I take a deep breath and thank God for this precious gift called life and look for ways to bless others.
7 Years Ago
