Life tests you to show you your own strength in God – that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 12 : 42  PM on day 2730 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read  Proverbs 14:27 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised  $8 906 only $3 594 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks so much to everyone who has helped out so far).

Yesterday I went to my orthopedic surgeon to have my wounds checked I now have a new set of bandages on both my right hand and left foot (they left my heel uncovered this time) but that wasn’t the most painful part before dressing me with the new bandage I had to get the stitches on my wrist pulled all I wanted to do was scream louder than I’ve ever screamed but mom was freaking out, my dad was visibly uncomfortable though he didn’t say anything and my 17-year-old brother was just standing there watching  and at times wincing (there was a point during the pulling of the stitches that my brother caught me watching the nurse pulling the stitches and said don’t look after which he took his hands and covered my eyes it was just so sweet it makes me cry even now as I remember it) and so because everybody around me was visibly traumatized I chose to suppress my internal screams and keep it together. Nobody will ever know how much pain I was in yesterday because not a tear fell from my eyes but I will forever know the depth and breadth of my strength when I’m connected to God.
