Having Cerebral Palsy has brought me closer to God – that’s what I learned today 🙂
It’s 1 : 33 PM on day 770 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, brush my teeth,publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast and watch TV.
Today while exercising I realized that having Cerebral Palsy has brought me closer to God I pray every morning, every night and whenever I need someone to just listen my parents try their best to fix things for me but sometimes they can’t and I don’t want them to feel helpless so I go into my room, lay on my bed staring at the ceiling and talk to God until I have nothing left to say it really helps some people pray a night before they need something and I have to bite my tongue to keep from asking why do you only pray when you need something faith is an all or nothing deal you can’t just pray when you need something and expect God to give you what you want when you want it. Have challenges in your life brought you closer to your higher power?
I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
I like your point about talking to God at all times, not just when you need something. Gratitude is powerful. It’s tempting to skip sharing how much I believe He has given me and launch right into what I need. I look at it like friendship now. Sometimes people just want to know that you are grateful for the relationship!
Yeah, sometimes people want to know you’re grateful for the relationship nobody likes to feel like a means to an end.
