Jeremiah 1:5
Have you ever been injured so bad that you actually broke a bone?
Surprisingly I went my entire childhood without breaking anything, but just a few years ago I was riding an ATV through the woods, hit a rock, flipped it and ended up breaking several ribs.
Let me tell you something about breaking ribs... I've never felt that kind of pain before. I knew immediately that I wasn't just hurt, but that I was seriously injured.

I gingerly walked outside and got back on that ATV... I turned it on and proceeded to take my kids (not on a ride, but more of a) ... CRAWL.
