Stephanie Nielson is a powerful individual.
First of all I wanted to say how much I loved her dreams and hopes of becoming a mom. I think this was such a wonderful aspiration for her and showed everyone truly how important it is. I loved that she focused on how being a mom brought such joy to her along with being a wife. I thought this was a good background explanation of her life to show the priorities in her life were the Lord and her family. Her tragic experience really was horrific and so sad. It really was moving thinking how she could be living her life in bliss making many happy memories and preparing for another baby while taking care of her kids and then the next second nearly die. It really put into perspective firstly how fragile life was but also how much the Lord is watching out for us. It was incredible how she said that right when she gave up hope (in the plane crash) was when she felt the Lord was taking care of it. It really firstly shows that the Lord is always there for us especially in our hardest times and is willing to help. The next thing is that her ordeal was so difficult, painful and trying on her family yet her relatives told the doctors and nurses that "divorce would not be an option". That even though similar situations of intense difficulty can tear families apart that it would not tear hers apart, and that it didn't. It made me marvel at the Lord's hand in this as well as how incredible that her husband remained faithful even when others may not have. That ultimately they relied on the Lord and the nearly fatal and beyond tragic event could have destroyed them but they chose not to let that happen. I definitely admire and am moved by her faith and her family sticking together.
This definitely relates to our class because many times people have disabilities but the family can pull together and overcome it. Also that the difficulty or disability doesn't need to define your family and that you can remain faithful. It really made me want to make sure that if my family does experience having an accident that leaves one of us disabled or if one of our children does have a disability that we will turn to the Lord and continue to love them regardless and be there for them always.
