I just need to say how blessed I am. Thanksgiving is a week away, and I am sitting on my couch in my apartment, getting ready to read and crawl into bed after a long week. I am sipping tea and wearing moccasins and wondering at the world.
So in case you missed the memo this summer, I was in a pretty severe car accident in June and shattered my heel along with some other injuries. I had been on crutches since that point and have had them off for two and a half weeks now.
And I am just so grateful that God spared me and that he helped me heal and that now I am almost completely back to normal (except for a small limp that I still get made fun of for, but I don't mind :-)).
But you know what is so wonderful? In that time that I was on crutches, I really needed to learn to depend on those around me. I'm not going to lie, the thought of going back to school while very incompetent was scary for me. I didn't want to inconvenience anyone, but I knew I would need help carrying things, getting meals, getting to class from the Penndel apartments. But, I just have to say, that I am blessed to be in a community that cares so much. I never once was left in need at this school.
We had a chapel earlier this semester based out of I John, in learning how to really love our brothers. I know often times as Christians, we struggle with what exactly that should look like and how we ought to go about doing it. But I have to just rejoice in the fact that I have been shown so much love here. People have truly sacrificed of themselves for my sake. It's a lovely thing and I feel so unworthy of all the care I have been given.
But I am thankful for it, certainly. :-)
Here are some pictures of the journey:

Here it was with all of the rods and pins...

Guess which one is me...
AND I was in three weddings on crutches...

My dear friends Steph and Brandon's wedding...

Singing at my friend Jamie's wedding...

My cousin's wedding...

Then I upgraded to this boot!

This is me very happy to be free from crutches!
