A PURPOSE

The word disability seam to have a negativity vibe from it, but it doesn't have to be.  I'm not going to lie, it can be challenging.  But life in general is hard.  Everyone has their  "vice" and my Mama always says that you can always find someone who is worse  than you.  This is very hard at times. As humans, we have a sinful nature.  A former pastor used to use the expression, "Me and me three"  referring to his wife and two sons.  That is how most us think.  
Now, I'm not ignoring that a disability can devastating;  both to the individual and their care taker(s).   And it may be the worst thing to happen.:  there is no way to down play this.  A disability can be very stressful.  And I pray for the millions of people who are suffering from a disability and those who care for them whose lives are fill with pain and just going on fumes; just trying to make it through another day.
I am fortunate that my disability isn't the worst thing in my life.  In fact, if  anything, it has been a blessing in my life; giving me opportunities that I wouldn't have had if I hadn't been disability: I went to one of the best schools in Nashville, I got to meet people I would have never had met.  I got to go to college and and meet my husband. I was told that i would never married or have kids.   I've been married over 18 years.  We have a 17 year old son and a 14 old daughter.  The loves of my life.
Most importantly, my disability led me to my faith in Christ.  My relationship with God is the most important relationship I have, that anyone has.  A lot of people blame God  for their disability, for all of their problems.  And yes, I have done this many times in my life.  I don't . believe God made me disabled, but I believe that He slowed me to be disabled for a (or some ) reason(s).  I gathered this information through the book of Job.    I don't completely  understand why God allowed  me to be disabled and there are days when I hate being disabled with every fiber of my body.  However, ever now and then, I get a glimpse of why I am disabled and it is beautiful!
