Overcoming Obstacles

I strongly encourage you to watch the following video:

This inspirational young man is Nick Vujicic.  He is a follower of Christ and is quick to give God the glory for the opportunities he’s had to share his testimony to others despite (and because of) his physical challenges.

We watched this video at church this morning.  It was used to illustrate the point that no matter what life throws at us, we can find our hope in God.

I felt a sense of shame at the way I allow myself to be brought down by various things in my life…nothing near as dramatic as what this young man has had to deal with.

I also felt inspired as I watched him get back up…with much effort…to stand up proudly.   I’m sure there were times when he didn’t have the will to do anything.  He could have easily given up and allowed others to do things for him.

But, leaning on God’s strength, Nick persevered, grew stronger and more daring, and laughed in life’s face as he cleared each hurdle.

Truly inspiring.
