I’ll Stumble, I’ll Fall, I’ll Get Up Again Prologue-Chapter One

Prologue:

You’ll get used to it, some say. But honestly you shouldn’t have to, no one deserves to be treated like a second class citizen, because you happen to be in a chair.

Yet in some ways I was guilty too, of making assumptions, until life threw me a curveball and now I’m the one sitting down, in a chair.

I didn’t ask for someone to get behind the wheel drunk, but they did, and I paid the price, but being angry or bitter is not going to change what happened. I’m not going to suddenly get up and walk, because I got mad enough. I know that will take faith and work if it’s God will. And believe me I pray about it.

If anything to much anger, can become a stumbling block, and honestly I’m tired of stumbling.

But I know if I get down every minute of everyday, if I only think of the negative, I’ll stumble.

I know that one day, I’ll stand again though, if not here, then when I stand before the creator of the universe, and the wait will be worth it, believe everything.

I was angry for a season. I shed plenty of tears, and honestly there are times. that I still do. I’m not some superwoman without feelings, but I am for the most part happy. This chair is not going to stop me from living my life. I made that decision early on.
