I dedicate this page to my Lord. This may interest some of you, while others may find it boring. But see, it's not just for whomever comes
upon this page, it's for me, my gift to the Lord. As the Bible says, if we are ashamed of Him, He will be ashamed of us before His Father.
The Lord has always been a big part of my life. He has seen me
through some very dark valleys, always near, never deserting me. He
has also been with me when I've been on top of the mountain. He has been and
is my best friend. My whole life has been full of so many obstacles and yes I could have just given up and felt sorry for myself. But it seemed the harder it got, the more I fought. I have had people in school and people off the street come up and ask me why am I always happy and have a smile on my face. I tell them, what do I
have to be sad about? I am a
Christian and I know God loves me,
that is enough to make anyone smile each and every day they wake.
I guess people can see the "glow" about me, that Christian love I have inside
for everyone. People are just drawn to me. I have no
hate in my heart for anyone. And I do my best to be kind and considerate to each person I come across. Why? Because I have nothing but love in my heart. Maybe that is because I have never experienced what other kids experience during their years of growing up. I have been more or less sheltered because I can do nothing for myself except feed myself, work the computer and talk people's legs off. *smile* Like I told you, my Cerebral Palsy has never affected my intelligence or speech. Maybe when the Lord was hanging on the
cross at
Calvary, He saw me, and He wanted more for me out of my life. Am I saying He wants me to be in a wheelchair? No, but things happen in life and in the long run, it's for His glory. He could heal me
in a blink of an eye if He wanted to. And I will never give up hope for
a miracle. But understand this, it is "His" will that I want, not mine. The Lord may use me the way I am now for a purpose in life. I feel if I were like every other kid or "normal", as some would say, I don't think I'd have the joy I have inside, the unconditional love I have in my
heart for people, the compassion I have for others pain. I could be a very bitter person for being confined in my wheelchair. I could sit around all day and feel sorry for myself, and blame God. But instead, I thank the Lord for making me humble, grateful, loving, kind, generous, unselfish, & thankful for what I have.
I have a family who loves me and stands by me. I have a God who walks with me each day. In a war torn world like today, who could ask for more?
I could be a lot worse off than I am.
So, if you find yourself feeling sorry for me, please don't waste those precious moments, use them to say hi to me in passing, and if you're curious about what is wrong with me, don't be shy, just come up and ask me. And for goodness sakes, NEVER blame God. I thank Him and praise Him each day, for loving me and walking with me.
