Finding

I have started getting ready to move which got me thinking about all the changes that has occured in my life. Many really big changes in my life has been pre-cursed with a major surgery (a pattern I don't want to continue). I have found wonderful things every time I have been on crutches and have added love after having painful operations. Let me explain with a surgery time line (what normal person can have one of these?).

Age 15 - Knee surgery = crutches for five weeks
Found: there was more to me than what I could physically do.

Age 20 - Knee surgery = crutches for four weeks
Found: a strong testimony of the Saviour and an 18 month mission to testify and find full-time.

Age 22 - Knee surgery twice = crutches for six weeks
Found: Ben, well technically he found me but finding was involved.

Age 22 - Tonsillectomy = starving for days!
Added love: my husband.

Age 26 - c-section = limited movement for weeks.
Added love: Austen

Age 28 - c-section = limited movement again.
Added love: Dirk

So here I am with a couple of scars but much more love.
