Rachel's Miracle

Today marks the four year anniversary of the start of my new life. Through these past few years, I have learned so much more about who I am as a person, as well as the strengths in me that I never knew I had. It’s unfortunate that it took a tragedy of this proportion to teach me these life lessons.

 

Even though I’m “behind” in some areas, in many ways I feel that I’m ahead. For example, I’ve learned many strengths that I possess, such as never giving up. When I set a goal for myself, I’ll do whatever it takes to achieve it. I have also learned that the most important aspirations we strive to reach take a lot of time. But life isn’t about who reaches their dreams the fastest, it’s about making the most of those dreams and of everything else we have.

 

It's true, the healing process is taking longer than I would ideally like, but everyone continues to see improvement in my recovery . . . including me.

 

I believe that God is the reason for my continued healing. So I ask all of you to please keep praying because trust me, prayers work.

 

And four years later, I STILL believe in miracles!
