I was asked recently if I could tell the story of my accident for some ladies in town. Because it was such a life changing experience for me - I said yes. But moments ago, as I sat at my computer and tried to articulate it...I realized it's going to be a little harder than I thought. On one level, it is a pretty straight-forward story. Girl sees wind, wind blows deck through front door, deck hits girl, girl gets hurt, girl recovers.

But I want to make sure I tell of all the miracles that occured that day. I want to make sure to share about all the people who did simple things - that turned out to be miraculous in the moment. There are so many seemingly unrelated threads that when joined together create a beautiful woven masterpiece.

...and that really is the story. How God takes obscure, oddly coloured, weak threads and transforms them into something beautiful. He takes us, as we are - and creates a thing of joy and beauty.
