So I need to confess something, I am stressed out! I have a lot of work to do and its only the second week of classes. In some of my classes, I already feel behind. How is that possible? The good news is, is that I am blessed. Blessed with friends, family, and a church that loves me. Blessed with a few dollars in my wallet. Blessed with arms and legs, unlike my inspiration Nick. Nick was born without any arms or legs. Even though Nick is without arms and legs, he goes forward today as an inspirational speaker through Life Without Limits.
So when I'm stressed out with school or with life, often I can turn to Nick to cheer me up and motivate me to keep pressing forward, to carry high the banner of Jesus.
"Do I pray for arms and legs? Do I still desire them? Yes I do. I'm not discouraged if he doesn't give it to me. Its not that I'm not content because I am content...It's such a big big ministry that God has given me. Such a beautiful thing to witness peoples hearts being changed and transformed because of the testimony that we bring of God's glory, grace, and affection."
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."
2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness."
Yeah, you know what, this week isn't looking that bad after all.
