Life Without Limbs

Have you heard of it? Life without limbs? Crazy though huh? But there is an amazing man out there whose life is reality in this phrase. His name is Nick Vujicic and he truly has no arms and no legs. He is a man after God's own heart. A man who has taken everything that God has given him and used it for HIS glory! He is a 26 year old from Australia and he was born this way. The doctors gave no reason or explanation. He was born into a christian family and has known of God his whole life, but it wasn't until he was a teenager that he realized his purpose for living. He is now an inspirational speaker who travels all over the world, bringing the message of Jesus and salvation everywhere he goes. I have been to his website many times, watched YouTube videos of him for hours, and always hoped one day I would have the honor and privilege of meeting him, and this past week it happened! It was totally a God thing too, because it wasn't one of his public appearances. He was speaking at a high school graduation event an hour and a half away from where we live. My sisters husbands sisters husband used to go to the church who was putting on this event. He heard that Nick was going to be there and knew of our sweet Israel so he passed the message on to us. We called the school to see if we could come. They said it wasn't a pubic event, however there were no tickets and no one would ask why you were there. So we went! We had only found out about it a few days before hand, so we found a babysitter (Thank God for Nana!) and Jon, myself, Izzy and my sister Melanie went to see Nick speak. It was amazing and truly inspiring! After it was over, we got the opportunity to meet Nick and talk with him a bit and even get a few pictures :-) When we introduced him to Israel, true joy and excitement came over Nick's face! He became super excited and called his friends over to meet Israel too. He kept saying things like "What a miracle! What a blessing! A gift from God" and they just kept coming. It was a moment I will never forget! For the first time, a complete stranger looked at Israel and saw how perfect he was and how capable he was to be used by God, as opposed to all the stares, comments and whispers we get any other time we are in public. Nick even asked if he could get a picture with his own camera! Nick is a miracle for us, and for Izzy. I thank God for him!!!
