In this world when bad things happen, it can be easy to ask ourselves why.
Why
me? Why did this happen?
This is a feeling that we have
probably all felt at one time or another. We are only human after all. But
what if instead of asking ourselves why, we ask ourselves what? What can we do
with the bad things that happen to us? What can we learn and what can be shown
to others through it?
Room 1010 is a book that tells the true story of a young girl that survived an accident and surgery that no child had ever survived before. It is a story that was shared many times, and saw others brought to faith. Take a look:

ROOM 1010 is an uplifting, true story of how one little girl's faith inspired people from across the world to come together to pray for her and for a miracle.
Elynn had just turned ten and received a brand-new bike for her birthday when tragedy struck. In a matter of minutes, our lives were turned upside down as she suffered a traumatic injury that left us with many unknowns. At a time when Covid-19 was running rampant, and the entire world seemed to be in chaos, word of Elynn's accident quickly spread to friends, family, and strangers across the globe who heard her story and began to pray for her.
Through every challenge, Elynn's faith showed through. Despite her excruciatingly painful injury and recovery, she never complained or asked, "Why me?" She felt God chose her for this accident to help bring people to Him. Her faith, determination, and perseverance grew stronger as she worked with the doctors, nurses, and caregivers throughout her miraculous surgery and recovery.
I was given a copy of the book to read for myself... and oh what a beautiful story it is! I think sometimes we really need this type of story... a story that shows us God's goodness even when things do not go according to plan. A story that shows not just the strength of one girl, but the strength of God. As a mom, it was certainly at times an emotional read as we can only imagine how we might feel in the same shoes, but a beautiful one nonetheless. At under 200 pages, it was also a very quick read as well, but just the right dose of faith that we all need from time to time.
God is so, so good... and when you need the reminder, this book can give it.
