But I just read your story on your alma mater's website, and it brought tears to my eyes. I related to every single word. We may have walked through different illnesses, but the experience of God's greatness is the same. He allowed me to go through illness a couple times to learn that the miracle and the hope is in Him and not reaching perfection. Praise Him that He's gentle with me and good to me through it all.

This line said it all, "Because think about it: We’re talkin’ about man-made magic, versus God-breathed glory . . .":)also, "lean into the uncomfortable. Welcome it as a close friend. Because discomfort is the doorway to Dependence." Beautifully said...its the place where we find Liberty in Limitations. This Dependence causes us to draw near to Him, and His nearness is our Good. <br /> Dina Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12105836553804824129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549551131609471601.post-66913032185060625002012-10-11T21:15:03.496-04:002012-10-11T21:15:03.496-04:00Oh yes I LOVE this.

It was amazing to see the positive effects the special needs kids had on the rough, tough, troubled, getting into trouble young people who were at the centre at the same time. Some of these tough young people would change and become caring human beings-it was a miracle at times. Over time the change became pronounced in some of the tough young people. Special needs kids have a lot to offer and teach us all.
