How could anyone understand? What would they be able to do? She couldn't understand why God had taken away her legs. She looked at her journal.
"Maybe I should write these thoughts down. It helped me last time." She said. She wrote everything down in prayer form. She liked to think of it as a way she could talk directly to God.
"Dear God, I don't understand why you took my legs. What is the reason for this? It makes me feel helpless. Like I have no purpose anymore. I know You use things for good... but I don't understand how this can be used for good. What is Your plan here? Nothing makes sense anymore. I know You know what You're doing... but I don't understand Your plan here."
It had been a few months after the accident, so she was able to go back to school now. She kept quiet a lot of the time, and her classes had switched due to the fact that her school had no way for her to get up the stairs. She didn't have classes with Danny anymore, which made her sad. Her Bible still sat there, right by her journal.
*Three months later* *Danny's point of view*
Danny knew something was wrong. She hadn't acted like her normal, cheerful self. He knew the first reason. Anyone would be sad if they lost the use of their legs. But something else was wrong. Her eyes didn't have even a hint of her usual glow. He knocked on her door.
"Hey, Danny." She said. She looked really tired.
"Tanya, something's wrong. I can tell. You know you can talk to me..." I said.
"Can we sit on the couch..." She whispered.
"Sure," I said. When she finally got up there, she pulled her legs up. She wouldn't let me help her. I sat next to her, noticing her eyes were tearing up.
"Tanya..." She burst into tears. I pulled her close and held her there.
"It just...feels like I'm...not worth... anything anymore," She said in between sobs. "I can't do a lot of the things I used to." She whispered. I hugged her.
"Tanya, honey... no. You are worth something to everyone in that church, Stephanie, Marsha, your parents, and you are definitely worth something to me. You may not have the use of your legs. But your heart, and your mind are still there. You can still do a lot of things. And you may not be able to cheer, but you mean so much more than that." I said.
