Your Question:
Can I still have a future if I'm paralyzed?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've had my fair share of conversations with people who are struggling with the idea of a future without physical mobility. I want to assure you that a paralysis diagnosis does not mean your life is over. While it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the challenges that come with a physical disability, I believe that the human spirit is capable of overcoming even the most daunting obstacles. Stephen Hawking's story is a powerful reminder of this. Despite being confined to a wheelchair for most of his life, he continued to make groundbreaking contributions to the field of physics and wrote several bestselling books. His example shows us that even in the face of adversity, we can still live a full and meaningful life. As a Christian, I believe that our worth and value come from who we are as individuals, not from our physical abilities. As a husband and father, I've seen firsthand the impact that a disability can have on a family. But I've also seen the resilience and determination that can emerge in the face of adversity. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've learned to appreciate the little things in life. We've also learned to rely on each other and on our faith to get us through the tough times. So, to answer your question, yes, you can still have a future if you're paralyzed. It may look different than you expected, but it's still a future full of possibilities and promise.
