When I was little. I remember staying the night at Nanas house and she would always read me this article iut if one of her books. The story was about Bethany Hamilton. The surfer that’s arm got bit off by a shark.
Then the movie soul surfer came out and I remember watching it with her.
The other day it popped up in my recommended for you on Netflix. So there I am in the hospital room watching it and I realized Nana was a very smart lady
She gave me this story for more than it being a story. To show me that no matter what life throws at me there is always a way to make it work.
God will always have a plan for you.
I have been struggling with the idea that my son having cancer is part of his plan. But I also know it’s all in Gods Timing.
The movie has a main versus which is Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11 ESV
Another thing the movie says is sometimes it’s hard to see Gods plan when you are to close to it. Try to get a new perspective
Sometimes it takes stepping back, regrouping, and looking from another angle to understand.
I never knew how much I needed this lesson until the other day.
