Introduction	There's a lot I could say about what I used to do: swing dance, interpret for the deaf, bicycle long distances, and exercise daily. But one snowy morning in 2001, all that changed. As I sat in my car at a red traffic light, a large delivery truck rear ended me at full speed. The impact left me with a rare nerve injury to my neck and shoulder (a severed long thoracic nerve and winging scapula) and my neck straightened out where it should be curved. For more than a decade, I've been in pain and weekly physical therapy. I would never have chosen pain, but it has taught me much. Through it all, the Lord Jesus has been so faithful as I cry out to Him in my need. He has even brought good things out of my pain. At 42-years of age, I married for the first time. On my wedding day, my name became "Mrs. Payne." Not only is the Lord faithful, He has a sense of humor.
