Enduring a traumatic injury,
"It now bothers me to think that some people need to wait for an event in their lives to see the light or find a quest," Barnes writes. "In fact, all it takes is a blink of an eye, and a change can affect your whole future ... The question is, are you ready for that moment to make a difference in your life?"
"My Miracle" follows Barnes' life from his early childhood through defining moments and learning experiences that made him into the man he is at 38, including a major turning point that would change his life forever. Barnes traces the trajectory that his life took, from being highly motivated at an early age to losing focus in his adolescence, which only led to an early adulthood bereft of a goal or path towards becoming a man.

For some god-forsaken reason, this might be to show affection or some kind of support. Everyone has a purpose in life.Written in candid detail, "My Miracle" asks readers to not take their life for granted and to recognize the love of God which manifests itself in mysterious ways.
