A wonderful weekend! The LORD is GOOD!

What a weekend! Whew! Well, long story short this weekend my younger sister, and my parents and I went to IL for a summit. We are obviously affected with disabilities in our family, and for years we've been able to be a part of the world's biggest Christian disability ministry, which was started by Joni E. Tada. She's an amazing woman, and I have had the amazing honor of spending time with her and getting to know her more personally. She was involved in a diving accident that has paralzyed her, and recently just found out she has cancer. You may have seen some of her paintings also, she paints using her mouth! (AMAZING)

This weekend we headed to IL for a summit for churches and people wanting to start Disability Ministries in their churches. God calls ALL to be engaged in the church. And too many churches don't think the "learning disabled, wheelchair users," etc. are included. BUT, from our Savior Himself, we see that THAT mentality is wrong! People are different than us. No one is better than we're all just different than. God displays different aspects of HIMSELF through the disabled. And believe me, THEY bless YOU!

We attend the family camps for families with disabilities, that are held across America and recently across the world! This past summer I was able to be on the "other" side of reaching a family affected with disability. Anyways, it was an amazing time! There were Dr.'s and PhD speakes, and so many rescoures that were sold to eqquip churches and people with tools to minister! AMAZING!

On a more personal note, it was so nice to see dear friends whom have ministered to my family and myself over the years!

ALSO, I got to stop by Moody Bible Institute. I hope that the Lord will allow me to be accepted there for this coming January! :)

I hope you enjoy the photos and movies! GOD BLESS!
