by The Journey is Not Yet Done
God touched my heart after I realized what was happening in my life. It has now nearly been one full year since the choking incident happened. My entire life changed in the matter of seconds and it took me to the lowest of lows. If I could go back in time and stop the incident from occurring, I would not change a thing. Without that storm sent my way, I would not have found this peace and comfort in my life. I would not be sharing my testimony and writing about my unique story. Perhaps God spared my life so I could tell my story and help others.
My book was not finished, but instead I was just beginning to really live. I am sorry for my arrogance and I am sorry to those who I might have offended in the past. I was lost yet had convinced myself that I was almost perfect. I might be a fallen athlete now but I would rather be that than the person I was before… a fallen Christian.
I am still seeing the chiropractor and massage therapist, in addition to rehabbing my neck and shoulder. I am currently working hard to gain my muscle and weight back. I feel nearly back to 100 percent. Even though I cannot bench press as much weight as I could last spring, I am actually much stronger now. My excruciating battle has not only made me stronger but also much wiser.
In many ways I believe I have been to hell and back. My journey now blessed me with this love for God that is stronger than I have ever had before. He continues to watch over me each and every day.
