Last summer I was involved in an accident at Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford. Me and my friends were getting out of the van to go for a visit and walk in the park. I was already out of the van and waiting in my wheelchair while my friends were getting out. Suddenly my chair was impacted on the right side by the vehicle that I was behind. My chair was lifted on to its two rights wheels, tilting me over to the side. I was so close to the ground I thought I was going to hit it. The vehicle stopped in time for me not to hit the ground. I believe the driver heard the impact and the sound of my yell.

I know the LORD was with me that day holding me up on the left side and not letting me hit the ground, for without Him, it would’ve been much worse. I thought that day that I was going to die, that is how scared I was, but God was WITH me! So know that if you are going through a difficult time know that God has you and you can trust Him because He will never let you go!

Due to the accident my chair was very damaged. I needed a whole new one. I went through the process of getting a new chair and now I have one and it is wonderful. It is everything I’ve wanted. I would never wish an accident on anyone but two things good things came out of this one, a VERY strong faith in God and an amazing new wheelchair.
