I follow Bethany Hamilton on instagram.
she always posts pictures of her dog, surf, her family...and is always one thing - joyful.
Bethany is an inspiration unlike any other. Not only because of her incredible surfing talent...but because of her faith in Jesus Christ. Soul Surfer is a movie based on the true life story of Bethany Hamilton, world renowned surfer who's arm was bitten off by a shark on a casual surf sesh in Hawaii years back. I am so so thankful that they made a movie about her! Her story is incredible, and nothing short of the Lords working in her life.
Back in highschool I saw bethany surf at Huntington at the U.S Open.
This was years after the shark attack that almost took her life, and I noticed one thing about her - she was strong. Physically she is stronger than what most female surfers look like. Not only was she physically strong, but she seemed so mentally and spiritually tough. Kids were running up to her left and right after she exited the water and she smiled at all of them...and you could see the peace inside her and the joy she finds in the water.
Her story is crazy..and she is a trooper. Bethany's story is one of triumph...and one that goes much deeper than succeeding in a sport of being famous. This story touches down to reach us at the core...Bethanys triumph is one of failures, doubts, tears, and yet strength, perseverance, hope...and ultimately the love of the father!
such a good story!
