I TOO AM DISABLED AND WHAT I WAS TOLD AND PART OF MY BELIEF SYSTEM IS THAT WE ARE GIVEN SUCH CAHLLENGES SO THAT WE WILLL TURN TO HIM THAT LOVES US SO DEEPLY. WHEN I WAS INJURED AT WORK AND CAME TO KNOW I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO CONTINUE IN MY LIFES PROFESSION I INTUITIVELY KNEW THIS WAS A TIME FOR SPIRITUAL HEALING AND RENEWAL.

Prayers for you
