A journey through my adventures, thoughts and experiences living with Cerebral Palsy. Saturday, April 25, 2015. Zac, Mike and I in 2010. As I am sitting here writing my essay for my English class, I can't help but think about my friends from the WCMX family. The WCMX World Championship is taking place this weekend in Dallas, Texas. Now let me tell you what WCMX is and what it means to me:. Can you tell I love Philipp's Box chair? Philipp, Wheelz and I. Saturday, April 18, 2015. When a baby is born with C...

Sunday, November 23, 2014. One child and One family: How YOU can change their lives this Christmas! I love this time of year. Every day just seems so much better when the air is cold and Christmas is right around the corner. I don't so much love the panicky "Oh my goodness it's almost Christmas and I still have so much to do" feeling that has been creeping in lately. I mean, guys, I don't even have a clue what I'm getting anyone for Christmas! Titas will be six years old in January. He is a leader in...

Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Making Church Safe for Special Needs Families. This blogpost has been floating around in my head since last Sunday, and every time I've thought of it the word "safe" has come along with it. With the word "safe", I've thought of this quote from Narnia:. 8221; said Mr. Beaver; “Who said anything about safe? 8216;Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”. Today I want to tell you a story. No You would run. You would want to protect that little one. This studen...

Friday, May 8, 2015. A semester of stardust. They joined Moezart first.and loved it so much they convinced me to join them! It's been amazing to act alongside them! I am so beyond tired, but this week has been so full of emotions that I fear I might spontaneously combust without getting something onto paper. Last Sunday was our graduation party. We saw several dear ones we haven't seen in years. It was wonderful. Such a blessing in our lives! Look at these beautiful people. Not just our cast, but our...

A new love for you to love! | Claire's Calico Corner
http://clairescalicocorner.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-new-love-for-you-to-love.html
Friday, April 17, 2015. A new love for you to love! I'm eighteen today, so I bring you a child near and dear to my heart. But her story doesn't have to have a sad ending. YOU can give her the hope of a future. One look at that bright smile, and it's clear she doesn't let her disability dim her joy! This girl is such a bright light but it's hidden in an orphanage. An orphanage worker says the following about sweet girlie:. Don't let that be her future. Give her the chance to change the world. Print her pi...

Friday, December 19, 2014. Please don't forget them. I hope your upcoming celebration is filled with so much joy. Today I'm here to talk about something hard. I'm here to talk about Russia. This country has many, many children in need. It has one of the worst orphanage systems in the world, and very few Russians are willing to adopt. It's estimated that 300,000 children languish in about 3,000 institutions across Russia. ( LA Times. Please never forget the children who are locked away. Just because y...

Thursday, April 16, 2015. One last post while Im still a kid. It's our birthday week! I've been perusing Reece's Rainbow all week in order to bring you a child in need like I usually do on my birthday. There are so many children, it literally does take days to pick just one. But here I am typing on the tiny screen on my phone (so please ignore the bad formatting! And I'm feeling compelled to share another thought with you. One part of her story struck me especially. I had asked if she knew any Englis...

A journey through my adventures, thoughts and experiences living with Cerebral Palsy. Sunday, November 1, 2015. More than awesome part 2. My trip to Germany was great. I had to wake up at 4am to go to the airport and, when the plane landed in Weeze, it took me more than two hours to get to Dortmund, but it was definitely worth it! On that day I even managed to watch the end of Anna's Bachelor presentation at the skatepark. And the food was very spicy, but it tasted good! During my train ride to the airpo...
