Day 2820: Living in People’s Grace

Leave a reply

“When you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.” – David D. Burns

 

It’s 8 : 59 AM on day 2820 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet –  Yesterday a donation of $50 was made which brings the total raised to $14 619 only $4 131 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to reach my new goal of helping 75 kids with Clubfoot by June 17, 2018.

 

Recently I’ve changed my perspective from thinking I’m living at other people’s mercy to I’m living in other people’s grace and that shift in thinking has made needing help a lot easier for me. The quality of your life is truly a reflection of the quality of your thoughts.

Day 1926: Age and Growing in Grace

With age we grow in grace– that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 8:  48 AM on day 1830 of my journey towards independence and day 22 of our India trip 2015 prayed and read 1 Corinthians 11.

 

Yesterday we went to Bhima Jewellery people were staring at me like I was going to disappear and I didn’t mind at all I even introduced myself to this little girl who seemed to be fascinated by me with age I think I’ve grown in grace and learned not to take things so personally.

Grace and politeness – those are just two of the things that having Cerebral Palsy has taught me.

 

It’s 11 : 32 AM on day 1572 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth,  pray,  read Isaiah 57, publish my Disability of the Day feature, promote my Educate Generations campaign–  on $1 315 – learn one new thing – did you know that the Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing at approximately 17 milliseconds per 100 years – feed myself chicken and veggie wraps for breakfast and continue promoting my Educate Generations campaign – still on $1 315 but I’m still grateful 🙂

 

Recently I was at the mall shopping with my sister and cousin and this lovely gentleman came up right beside us and said to me repeatedly God bless you to which I said thank you repeatedly stuff like that happens to me all the time so when I’m out in public I can’t have a bad day people don’t have to come up and say nice things to me they choose to do that I will always appreciate that even though I sometimes want to be an ordinary 23-year-old out shopping with her family.

Day 1166: Help people with grace

Leave a reply

Help people with grace – that’s what I learned today.

 

It’s 12  : 22 PM on day 1166 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to   brush my teeth, pray, feed myself  All Bran Flakes and boiled egg for breakfast, go to the Orthotist to  have my new wheelchair’s belt adjusted – people see a wheelchair that a person is sitting on and assume that that particular wheelchair was made to fit that particular person in reality you order a wheelchair, it arrives and then it’s tailored to suit your needs and preferences being wheelchair-bound is a such hassle sometimes, like today,  I would give anything to have problems that other twenty-two-year-olds have –       read  2 Kings 24,  publish my Disability of the Day feature and practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles.

 

This morning something happened that made me realize when helping people it’s important to do so with grace just because  somebody needs your help it doesn’t give you license to treat them like dirt. When you help people do you do you do so with grace?
