In 2017 everything I knew to be "normal" for me changed abruptly. After two extensive spinal surgeries containing 21 screws and 20" total inches of titanium rods my entire life from the way I knew it was drasically changed. Coming to terms with accepting what you thought would always be you are forced to change was harder than my physical recovery (in which the two are more connected than we think). Once we accept the change and find that happiness again (that comes from accepting it) you will physically heal much faster.
In my downtime of literally 6 years I was urged in the Spirit to make good use of my time. What else can you do when you literally cannot walk? What you can do is make yourself useful.
I spent alot of time talking to God and if it were not for him, I would have given up ALONG time ago. If you ever question the validity of a devine intercessor please don't. God "ISRAEL"!!!!
Coming to the end of who you thought you were, is one of the hardest things you will ever experience. Finding the strength to embrace it and make those changes when you have lost everything is a must to continue on in life. If in anyway, I can HELP anyone who is struggling to believe in who God made you, I will have done part of my job since my "new life" was created in 2017. God will never let you down, JUST BELIEVE AND ACT on what he puts in your head and heart! Lets all make the world a better place.
Don't take things so seriously, because none of us get out alive but some of us get to "come back" and share our stories to help those understand how not to give up. God does have a good sense of humor, please remember that.
I am now a "woman owned business and am disabled", I also only share links to places or causes that mean something to me so if you are inspired by my story please check out these sites and their missions.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING
a.)It’s the illegal trade of human beings.
b.)It’s the recruitment, control, and use of people for their bodies and for their labor.
Through force, fraud, and coercion, people everywhere are being bought and sold against their will–right now in the 21st century.
