I am God’s creation, designed according to His plan for me. That’s not to say that there isn’t room for improvement. I’m always trying to be better so I can better serve Him and the world!

Now think about what it would be like to be free of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible? I’m officially disabled, but I’m truly enabled because of my lack of limbs.
