Well as most of you know I returned to the scene of the accident last week. This year I was able to spend the entire week and truly loved it all. My last post was about milestones, and this was another major one. This year I spoke on Monday night, I was supposed to speak on Monday last year. Even though Monday came and went without much fan fare the actual anniversary was Tuesday night. I am so thankful to God that I am not suffering from any form of PTSD. Other wise last week would have been a nightmare.
Camp was great, the kids were great, and the adults were great! On Sunday night Tom spoke about perseverance as we focused our week on being a hero. As I sat and listened to Tom I could not help but consider all that had transpired since last year and how I was able to persevere. Let me set this straight it was not by my own might but by the grace of God that I survived last year. As I got up to speak Monday night I told the group that the only way to persevere the ups and downs of this life is to surround yourself with Godly people.
This is how Olsa and I were able to make it. God's people surrounded us and covered us in prayer and support. There is no other way, I am not sure why anyone would want to weather the storms of life with out the family of God! I have mentioned here before a book, "90 Minutes in Heaven". He tells of his first trip to worship after the accident. They rolled him up front in his wheelchair, he was overcome with emotion and wrote that the only thing he could say was this, "You prayed and I am here!" This is my statement for the past year, all of you prayed and we made it. Thank you!
