"Instead of just surviving my life, I'm living every moment." ~ Rebekah Gregory

Quotes and statements within the interview:

"All this stuff really happened to me."

"I feel like I'm in a great chapter of my life. I'm so blessed."

"You're going through something and it's a hard part of your life, but that's what it is...a chapter."

"When you're watching a marathon, it's almost like you're running it too."

"I remember everything!"

"I remember my bones laying next to me on the sidewalk."

"It was a true war scene. It really was."

"It's all about what I do moving forward from here."

"I had to distinguish the difference between what God's love really was and what this man was preaching to me."

"I saw her [Mom] endure conditions that were so much harsher than anyone ever would deserve."

"Being a Christian now is my mom."

"I do realize God's plans are so much greater than anything we can fathom."

"My life has blown up. What do I do now?"

"3.2 miles meant the number of months that I not only learned how to run again, but how to walk."

"For what I give, I get back tenfold."

"I have a lot of phantom pain."

"I said it was like a bad boyfriend. I needed to get it out of my life!"

"I don't consider myself disabled."

"I count my blessings and I don't count my problems."

"Why is this continuing to unfold like this?"

"If I need to be still, give me peace for the moment."

"I dreaded going to that hour."

"Back then, 5 minutes felt like I hit the lottery!"

"But I was working toward the ultimate goal of taking my life back and deciding that this is not going to define who I am."

"I'm so proud to be his [Noah's] mom!"

"I had PTSD long before Boston ever happened because of my abusive childhood."

"It wasn't a dream. In fact, it was the complete opposite."

"I'm gonna have stuff cats because I'm allergic to the real ones."

"If you said then that I would be here today, I would never believe it."

"Trust that He has a bigger plan."

"Every struggle can turn you away from God or bring you closer."

"The most amount of beauty is coming from the toughest amount of pain."

"God is in control."

"Count our blessings, not our problems."

"We're grateful for the crumbs."

"For I know the plans I have for you." ~ Jeremiah 29:11
