Hi friends!
Today I wanted to share a quote with you. I heard this man speak a couple of years ago at an Acquire the Fire event. You know when you hear a speaker sometimes and it seems as though their words are imprinted on your heart forever, that is what happened here.
The speaker's name is Nick Vujicic. He is quite recognizable, mainly because he was born without arms and legs. Go ahead and re-read that sentence. Without arms and legs. He is truly an amazing man.
So here I was, about 14 years old, sitting in a huge arena, watching this man go from one side of the stage to another with no arms or legs. He had my attention that's for sure. He spoke in the beginning about his story, and growing up in without limbs. But the words he said at the end of his talk has impacted my entire life.

"If God can use a man without arms and legs to further the kingdom of God, he can surely use you."

WOW! Can you see how I was changed from those words? Our whole lives we go day by day wondering how God will ever use us, sinners. This statement catapults me into believing that God can and will use me. Regardless if you can't speak well, if you look different, if you get scared, even of you have no arms and legs, God is still going to use you. You just have to be ready and willing.
Nick's path could have gone many different ways, but instead he chose to abandon himself to God's story. That is beautiful.
