Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. Helen Keller
I am still here, but not writing on the blog now. Any available time that I have to write, I am committed to finishing the book, God willing, by August 5th. A very special day!
We also have a very exciting 12-day trip to Hope Heals Disability Camp in Nauvoo, Alabama! It’s a great highlight of our summer. It’s only a 1-day trip, but we usually do it in 2 days. This year, I need to take a little more rest stops because of a physical condition, but God willing, we are joyfully stopping by Bill Graham’s The Cove and Ruth Bell Graham’s garden. Then, we head to Atlanta to visit the new Mend Coffee shop, welcoming all abilities and hiring those with disabilities.
We will finally head to Birmingham, Alabama, to attend church. They have a wonderful special needs ministry, and my son is welcomed with open arms, even just for one Sunday! Then, it will be a week-long time of cherished friends, good food, suitable lessons, and fantastic pampering at camp! We both are looking forward to it. I hope to deliver some copies of drafts of the book there for some feedback.
If you have never checked out Hope Heals Camp, please do! It is free for families with disabilities, excluding transportation. Volunteers raise money to participate, and they need many volunteers! It is genuinely an anointed, blessed event for everyone who attends! It’s full for this year, with a waiting list for people wanting to attend. Maybe it’s something you would like to do next year?! If not, donations are always welcomed to help support this much-needed event.
I appreciate prayers for travel mercies and covet prayers for completing the book. My goal is that the book is not about me and my story but God’s story through my life. It’s a journey of abuse, rejection, healing, amazing ministries, revelation! And it undeniably confirms Romans 8:28!
