Life Without Limits - Book Review


There are some books where I am humbled, inspired and Nick Vujicic's book, Life Without Limits was one of them.

Nick has lived a life without limbs in a way that not only glorifies God but in no way at all, brings pity on his situation.

The more I read, the more aware I was of how often I've spent wallowing in self-pity while not recognizing others and their situations around me.

Nick's thirst for encouraging, support and reaching out with his heart is unending. In his book, he describes the journey his life has taken to get him where he is today.

With humor and candidness, he shares moments where his life was changed by the unexpected, blessed with courage and strengthened by care and love from strangers turned friends.

Not only is he a pivotal speaker with a gift to minister to teens but continues to offer wisdom throughout his book and his website.

I received no monetary compensation for this review. I'm just a girl who loves to read and is willing to pass along some good reads for you.

That sounds great - thanks for the review. I've got some uplifting books that I'm about to start. Maybe I'll add this one after I'm done with my current reads.

He came thru Portland not long ago and Dear Hubby and I saw an interview on the news with him. We now have a new catch phrase whenever either one of us is down: "Well, at least we have arms and legs!" Especially after seeing what a beautiful spirit this man has, even with all the struggles and obstacles he must meet in his life every day. Thank you for posting this review!!! I didn't catch his name when he was being interviewed...it's great to know he has a book out and as soon as I'm settled in Michigan I'll be looking for a copy!

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful.

Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true.

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
