The Changes We Choose, the Ones We Don’t

Summer’s officially coming to an end, and a Swim party is being thrown for the Sunday School Kids, and honestly I am a bit nervous, it has been months since the accident, months since I was released from the hospital, facing a life changed, changes I didn’t have any control over, but I did have a say in how I reacted to those changes, so I chose to not express anger at them.

Although I’m not used to being around so many people, I want to be there for the kids. Swimming isn’t something I am comfortable with yet, but I am working towards that in physical therapy. As for now, I’ll enjoy myself and have fun celebrating the end of the Summer, with the Sunday School Kids and the other teachers.

I am grateful to be here to celebrate the end of another summer. I should have died in that accident, but by the grace of God I am alive and well. Life isn’t without struggles for me, but then again neither is anyone’s. The little things in life still make me happy, even more so now that I have realized how fragile life can be, and how magnificent God’s Grace really is. So I’m going to enjoy The good moments, the fun times, and cling on to the tough times.
