"Wisdom and love are better than arms and legs"

About a year ago, a friend emailed me a video of ‘Nick’s testimony.’ To say I was inspired by his story and wisdom would barely scratch the surface of how that video impacted my life. Since then I’ve often reflected on his words and shared them with numerous other people who needed encouragement during difficult times.

This week I got the opportunity of a lifetime! I met one of most amazing people I will probably ever meet in my life! Through some special circumstances and a lot of planning, one of the local business owners, Chef Audrey, worked out a long term goal of having Nick come to GA. (Nick is originally from Australia.) ...He was right here in Warner Robins!

At only 26 years old, Nick Vujicic has become one of the most sought after inspirational speaker in the world. His assistant told me they literally get 300 requests a week for him to speak around the world!

His inspirational message matches his solid attitude of joy and confidence. Which is absolutely amazing when you consider the way he was born - No arms, No legs. Check out Wikipedia for more information about his story. (Even how his ‘mum,’ who is a nurse, was able to help change the laws in Australia so that Nick could be integrated into a main-stream school.)
