A disturbing video is going viral this week showing a woman fall off a cliff and brutally hit the bottom with her GoPro camera attached to her arm.

Heather Friesen is an adventurer who was admiring the scenery while out for a hike in Hawaii when she slipped and fell off the cliff, hitting rocks as she continued to fall. After landing in water, Heather can be heard moaning in pain as she pulls herself out to get back on land. Though the video was captured in 2016, it has just now resurfaced and started making the rounds online, leaving internet users everywhere horrified.

However, Heather’s story of recovery and faith is inspiring to say the least.

“A year ago today marks both the worst day of my life and the best day of my life,” Heather wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of her in the hospital. “With the 10 broken ribs, collapsed lung, fractured scapula, and some scrapes, how could this possibly be the best day of my life? Because I was shown God’s love in incredible ways that forever transformed me. He saved me from death and has renewed my mind to see a world where God is my number one, and absolutely nothing comes before Him.”

A year ago today marks both the worst day of my life and the best day of my life. With the 10 broken ribs, collapsed lung, fractured scapula, and some scrapes, how could this possibly be the best day of my life? Because I was shown God’s love in incredible ways that forever transformed me. He saved me from death and has renewed my mind to see a world where God is my number one, and absolutely nothing comes before Him. When everything that I put my identity in was taken away from me in an instant, all I had left was God. I turned to Him in amazing ways and would be writing a never-ending post if I shared all the countless ways He has changed my life in the past year. So, I thank God for this accident. Each and every day. Because without it, I wouldn’t know His love in such an encompassing and undeniable way. I also can’t thank enough every single person who was there for me through this. I’ve got some fantastic people in my life! I will leave you with parts of Psalm 73 that I accidentally stumbled upon one day and that continue to touch the depths of my heart: “But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.” “Yet I am always with you; You hold me by my right hand.” “My flesh and my heart my fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” “But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.” #Thankful #Grateful #Blessed #DontGoChasingWaterfalls #CrazyYear ????

“When everything that I put my identity in was taken away from me in an instant, all I had left was God,” she went on to say. “I turned to Him in amazing ways and would be writing a never-ending post if I shared all the countless ways He has changed my life in the past year. So, I thank God for this accident. Each and every day. Because without it, I wouldn’t know His love in such an encompassing and undeniable way. I also can’t thank enough every single person who was there for me through this. I’ve got some fantastic people in my life!”

Heather finished her post by sharing the piece of scripture that got her through this.

“I will leave you with parts of Psalm 73 that I accidentally stumbled upon one day and that continue to touch the depths of my heart: ‘But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.’ ‘Yet I am always with you; You hold me by my right hand.’ ‘My flesh and my heart my fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.’ ‘But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.'”
