I am 24 years old and have Cerebral Palsy.

\In High School was asked, if they had a surgery that would “cure”me, would I take the cure ,   this friend  also asked me why God put me in the wheelchair. In his words is was “cruel” I think my answer shocked him . I said “NO,  and “No  God letting me live in a wheelchair in not cruel” I would not change a thing”   let me explain why”. this was my answer I gave when I was 18 >>conversation pieces indented<<  Daresay it’s close to the same answer now?

When I was born I only had a slim chance of survival, I am grateful that God let me live, if he was as cruel as you say He would have let me die, but the  fact is  he let me live; yes with a few challenges, but at least I am alive.  When I was younger I would have given anything to be just like everyone else, able to walk without the aid of a walker, or be  able to get around without the aid of a wheelchair.

But over the years, I came to realize that God not only had/has  something big in store for me, he gave me the ability to view life with a different prospective and outlook.  God knows what He is doing and who am to second guess the gift God  knew  would be right for me  if I at this time I am not quite sure what it means.

So my answer stands, do I get angry at times that I can”t do certain things “YES” but I wouldn’t change the circumstances or prospective of my life  whatsoever. This gift/blessing can only be a curse if I allow it to be.

It is this reality that I or anyone else with such a gift can’t change it  on our own, so  why try, the only thing I or those individuals can do is embrace  it and make the best of the gifts that we have been given

I realize it’s hard I really do, but you whether you realize it yet or not you were born with a gift.(physical challenge).   For those of you that have been paralyzed in accidents or  malpractice and the like, I won’t tell you not to get bitter and downcast,(it would be a lie to say I don’t) I will tell you that God turns  your disadvantages into his advantages if you let him

He wants to use you for something special, all you have to do I ask what that something special is
