No arms, no legs, no worries!

Twenty-three years ago his parents had planted a church in Australia. Six months later his mother delivered him. "The last two words on my parents' minds was 'Praise God.'"

Doctors had no explanation. His birth was considered a tragedy. The whole church mourned. No one could see any good coming out of a boy being born with no arms or legs.
As he grew up, he alternately doubted God existed – questioning what sort of a God would do such a nasty thing – or he was angry at God for the same reason.
He remembers reading a Biblical verse in Sunday school which purported that he was created in the image of God. "And I'm like, 'Yeah, riiight."
When he was 10, when the teasing was unbearable, he wished he was dead. He fantasized about asking his parents to put him on a kitchen stool -- and then he could "fall" off and, he hoped, break his neck.
When he couldn't bring himself to end it all, he begged God to let him grow arms and legs -- for God's benefit, of course. (A modern-day miracle! Think of how many people you could convert!)
It never happened. But he began to realize that maybe he didn't need to grow arms and legs for his life to mean something. Maybe his accomplishments were enough of a miracle.
He can walk/hop almost anywhere (including up steps), using his only foot. And he can type with his only two toes (43 words a minute, thank you very much). He is brave enough to plunge into pools, trusting he will bob to the surface where he paddles around on his back using his foot as a paddle. And he writes, gets dressed and opens doors with his mouth.
He began to realize he was impressive, if not downright inspirational.
At 15, Nick officially thanked God that he was alive. At 17, he gave his first talk to a prayer group. The requests to speak snowballed. And now, at 23, that's all he does. His nonprofit is called Life Without Limbs.

"It turns out having no arms and legs has gotten me into some doors I would not have been able to walk through."

Question: Do you believe God is able to use you and me - despite our so called 'problems' and 'shortcomings' ?
