I LOVE THE WAY GOD MADE ME

I’ve had a physical disability my whole life. I was born with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC), which means a lack of muscle mass. My arms and legs are affected.

But I don’t “see” disability. I don’t dwell on what I can’t do. From early on, I learned to accept my limits, to know challenges will always exist, but they don’t have to be obstacles. I can chase dreams, love life, and embrace the story I am living.

Does it look different? Do I need help to achieve those goals? Yes. That’s part of my normal and I don’t mind welcoming others into my world. We all need community and life is better together. Nowadays, I blog about living with a disability.

I share my story because this is something I can do—to spread awareness, build understanding, encourage others, and show I am normal. Yes, I have limits, but I love the way God made me. I wouldn’t erase my disability. This is the life God has given me and the story I have to tell. And every day, I have so many reasons to be thankful.

    God bless you ; keeping a positive attitude is what the Lord wants us to do when adversity hits us .
    I have lived with chronic pain now for many years . I MUST keep moving and I try to always act positively when with others .They cannot believe I have pain because I smile . I will NOT frown and feel sorry for myself , and I can tell that is your attitude as well . Let’s you and me make the world wonder what we’re up to coz we’re smiling !
