I would undergo all the painful surgeries, all the tests, and would endure the great times of difficulty again, so that my life could be used as an encouagement and inspiration to others." Joshua, You've found HIM in your heart and you've been a good instrument of God. No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. Thank you so much for sharing."

You bring great hope to all of us, especially during times when we think we have it bad."
