When life knocks you down; instead of bouncing right back up, turn on your back and enjoy the view!!!

The Impact Zone
After an exhausting day I came home to be a couch potato, joining my daughter who was watching the movie based on the true life events of Bethany Hamilton the surfer, who lost her arm when a shark attack. An amazing survival story, but as it closed a reporter asked if she could go back would she change that day and her response was "if I changed that day I wouldn't be in front of you and because of that I have embraced more people with one arm than I ever could with two." Another notable quote is that "when you reach the impact zone, get back up because you never know what's above the next wave." Faith and grace are the things that got her through as I joined the movie just as she was crying to Carrie Underwood's character about not believing God had this in store for her life and I watched her walk away from the sport only to find passion for it again as she was serving and sharing love on a mission trip in a tsunami devastated Thailand. Do you see all of the God Words in this message: Love, Serving, Trust, Gratitude because at the end she was thankful that her tragedy became her testimony to inspire the world, making the impact zone her Victory!! So fitting was the hook of the closing song as the credits rolled, "Life is just a wave!!" We ride the highs and the lows of this life, but it is what we do in the impact zone, we learn, adjust and rise!!!!
