“Showered With Faith – A Life Changed: 4 Lessons in Gratitude and Faith”

In 1998, my life changed in an instant. I was 23 years old when I was struck by a car as I crossed the street. The memory is vivid—me lying curled up on the asphalt, gripping my leg and feeling a pain unlike anything I had ever known.

A doctor appeared seemingly out of nowhere and rushed to help. My right leg bore the worst of the accident, and I later learned how close I came to losing it. Just a few years earlier, before medical advances, I may have faced amputation. That knowledge gave me perspective, but fear still took hold. In the hospital, I braced myself for the possibility of more surgeries—maybe a third, maybe a fourth.

One day, I shared my fears with a nurse. She took my hand, looked me in the eye, and prayed with me. At the time, it felt like a simple act of comfort. I didn’t realize then that this moment would become one of the most pivotal of my life.
