That is a quote from Bethany Hamilton, a surfer from Hawaii who got her arm bit off by a shark in her teens. Instead of hiding in fear and blaming God for this horrible experience, she embraced and put her trust in the Lord. (If you haven't seen the movie 'Soul Surfer', it is about Bethany Hamilton and her story. It is truly incredible.) She said that with her one arm she "was able to embrace more people than I ever could have with two arms" (Bethany Hamilton, Soul Surfer). Bethany Hamilton volunteered to help in different countries, and has never given up. She works hard and is now a professional surfer.
Bethany Hamilton, 2011
We can all learn a lot from her. We all have roadblocks to overcome. Find yours and overcome it.
