Good afternoon. People say that I am amazing. I am not amazing. I am not special. I am just ordinary imperfect me. Let's get this square. My life and circumstances are a blessing and a gift from the Lord that continually humble me.
Jesus is and will always be the Amazing One. in Jesus Name, Amen.
I am just fine just the way God made me, because He doesn't make mistakes. What this world calls broken imperfections, Jesus calls and makes beautiful things out of the ordinary. You are in my heart and prayers always..
I love you unconditionally and I want you to be able to say that no matter what is going on in life or the world, may you always know and remember that in your heart.

Good morning. Welcome to March, friends. Hope you are well. March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month.

There are five different levels of severity of cerebral palsy. Cerebral Palsy is acquired as a result of a lack of oxygen to the brain which can occur either during pregnancy or during the birth process.

I am one of millions of people worldwide born with Cerebral Palsy. Mom was in a serious bus accident when she was pregnant with me. I was born three months prematurely. When I was born, I was so ill that I spent the first several months of my life in the PICU. The day I was born, doctors said I either wouldn't live or would be a vegetable. I was not expected to live through the night. The Lord Jesus is faithful and good all the time and proved them wrong on all counts.

He has done and continues to do so many wonderful and amazing things in my life for his good purposes.

Good afternoon. You may not know that Loud noises and high pitches cause me physical pain. I cannot have sounds too loud or full blast because sounds that are too loud, too high or full blast cause me pain. This is just part of the way that being born with Cerebral Palsy affects me...but it's important that I'm treated the same as anyone else, because that is how I view myself in heart and spirit.

Being born with Cerebral Palsy is a wonderful gift. Humility is beautiful. It's obvious to the world that I'm flawed. I'm not and will never be perfect. That can't and won't change. I love everyone. If one doesn't like or cheer for me, that's their own loss, and you might get asked why someday by the Lord, but I will never ask anyone such a thing.
Having CP does have its advantages. I go to the front of lines. I am cared for by wonderful people. I am so blessed to still be at home. I have had some gorgeous men and great people help me out of my share of mishaps and adventures.

My body has its obvious and very noticeable challenges. I don't necessarily expect to see tomorrow. Every day I wake up is an unexpected gift that He allows me to unwrap solely because of the Lord, my wonderful family and friends.

The Lord and His plans are good. His work and my life is His beautiful mosaic in progress.
In God and Christ is my sense of identity, peace, worth, and self, not in that which I can and will never do. You are in my heart and prayers always. You are loved!

Christmas. Christmas is not about the stuff. Christmas is about that little baby born in Bethlehem. We are sinful, and yet Jesus loved us so much that He died on the cross in our place. Christ paid OUR price through His death on the cross.
He died, so that we could live forever with Him. The real gift of Christmas is never in a box.

The real gift is a baby in a manger who saved us through His death on the cross, resurrection and amazing grace. All that we are or ever hope to be is because of Christ.

I read a devotional this morning about betterness vs. bitterness. This life is a gift which is far too brief. I see no point in being negative. I want to be remembered as a kind, loving, positive, humorous person who loved Jesus and everyone in my life.
I'm not perfect, far from it. I never wish my life were otherwise. When I was born, I wasn't supposed to live through the night, let alone this long.
Every day, with the Lord's help, I live this life, despite losing more friends than the ones I still have.
In the end, what truly matters is not your job, or material things or status. What truly matters is the way you've loved others and the way they've loved you.

Good afternoon. People with Cerebral Palsy might do things in a different way or need help from other people, but they are really just like everyone else. It is important for people to remember that and treat them the same as everyone else.
At the end of the day, inclusion means accepting people for who they are and treating them equally and respectfully.
