Let me introduce you to Nate, a real character who is not only wonderfully made but also being wonderfully REmade:

In August, Nate and his brother Nick were in a serious auto accident. The past six months have brought long hospital stays and intense rehab for Nate, but mom Becky says suffering has been matched step for step with blessing. Nate is now standing unassisted for longer and longer periods of time, and I have no doubt he'll reach his goal of walking in time for Spring Break.

I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made.

But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ,

who has so wondrously reached out for me.

Friends, don't get me wrong:

By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this,

but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward

-- to Jesus.

I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back.

Philippians 3, MESSAGE
