I've spent much of my life hiding the scars... hiding the hurt that God has allowed in my life. Well, over the past year, He has done much in freeing me from that fear and in showing me some of these very things you've posted. Reading this post brought back many memories... many thoughts of my own journey ... and countless examples of our God's faithfulness to me. thank you. i rejoice that God uses broken people. i am constantly humbled that He would choose to be glorified through my limps and scars.

Your article came up in a search I was doing, and I've just finished reading it. I had to tell you that what you said has brought the story to life in a whole new way for me. I have never thought about it like this before. I've been quite inspired by this, and I would love to share this perspective with our whole church. Would you mind if I included a sermon in our current series called "Learning To Walk With A Limp"? I would, of course, gladly contribute the credit to you. Thanks in advance for your consideration, and thanks again for such a great article. May the Lord richly bless you.

We have enjoyed following your blog from way over here in Jo'burg. Mark and I have such grand memories of the days when you were here! So much has happened since then--so many joyful moments and so many painful ones. Life is much harder than we ever thought it would be way back in our youth hey? This most recent post certainly resonated with me. Oh the scars! How I hate the memories of so many of them. Nice to be reminded that even those can be useful in reminding us of God's grace! Thank you for helping me remember that. We love you dear broer. (Do you still remember any Afrikaans?) Will you ever make it back this way? Everyone would love to see you. Tot siens! Lana and Mark.
