Miracles Have Not Ceased

A Personal journal entry after breaking my neck in 2014

"Take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life."

I BROKE my neck once upon a time when I was 15. I was jumping on the tramp after tumbling practice and was lucky I didn't die right then and there. I got up and walked around, initially I thought it was a charley horse in my neck. When I figured out it was broken I was told that I would need surgery as soon as possible. While I waited I needed to lay completely still, if I were to move a centimeter or two in the wrong direction I could tweak my neck just so that I might sever my spinal column. I remember my older brother Jordan looking at me in my panic and saying, "Amazing Grace. McKaye, you're alive."

love him so much for that because it changed my whole perspective of panic and fear to gratitude and well... okay, I was still scared out of my mind. I weepingly sang "Amazing Grace" softly to myself until I was able to fall asleep.

"Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now I'm found.

Was blind but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved.."🎵

In such a state of vulnerability and distress, my loving Heavenly Father, Savior and long deceased Papa held me in their arms and comforted me. Of that I am sure,

He is there.
