Krista Horning - How do I live with Disability?

Krista Horning
People ask me how I live with disability.
How do I live with disability?
How do I live with Apert Syndrome?
With a facial difference and legs and arms that don't work right along with many other challenges?
For me, disability is the deep hurt and shame that says I'm not accepted.
Disability says ugly things to me.
It tells me I'm alone.
I'm different.
I'm worthless.
I'm weak.
It tells me my life is hopeless.
Disability lies to me and sometimes it's easy to listen and believe.
Sometimes I don't want to have a disability.
Sometimes I don't want to be who God made me to be.
So how do I live with disability?
Where do I turn?
...
For now I live with disability.
Disability still says ugly things to me.
Disability is a part of this broken sin filled world.
But God has so many beautiful things to say.
And so I'm filled with hope.
God's words grow louder and louder in my life.
The glory of his grace and mercy grow stronger and stronger.
I need to listen to his words.
I want to listen to his words.
God's words change everything.
God's beautiful words have changed my life.
And that is how I live with disability.
