Very Inspirational Story

I just read a story about a woman in Uganda that I think anyone would find inspirational. One day, Rose Lukwago Barigayomwe boarded a bus that would change her life forever. With her children in school, her husband always working, and constantly worrying about money, Rose’s life could easily be termed as stressful. She had fallen asleep on a bus one day, only to wake up and realize that a bomb had been placed on her bus, and due to the blast, she lost one of her legs. She says she remembers the entire time, a voice constantly telling her to keep going, to get herself to safety. Finally, a man helped her off the bus, did his best to stop her bleeding, and before she knew it, an ambulance was coming down the road. The man who saved her from the burning bus put her in the ambulance and offered to pay for the ride to the hospital. During her time in the ambulance, all Rose was thinking was how she would ever pay for all her medical treatment. When she arrived, she was greeted by a doctor friend of her family who took care of everything. While recovering, it was then that Rose realized that God had gotten her this far, and he was, no matter what, going to make sure everything would be alright! With the help of her brother, and her new found faith and inspiration, she got her hands on a new sewing machine and started her own tailoring business. With her first big pay, she immediately went to her church to offer it as an offering! She now has an artificial limb and walks virtually without a limp and has her own tailoring store! It just goes to show, that even when things seem as though they could be at their worst, God is always there, ready to turn things back around! What an incredible story!
