Something New

I wanted to do something new in the Adult Sunday school class. I want to spotlight people who have accomplished something for the Lord despite the circumstance being seemingly against them. If time and opportunity allow, I will spotlight someone before we go into the weeks Sunday school topic, which is in Genesis right now.

The first person I would like to spotlight is Gianna Jessen. You can read more at the link provided here, but to cover just some of what her life has included and what she has overcome. She has Cerebral Palsy, walks with a limp, lived in an orphanage, adopted, then raised to Love the Lord by loving adoptive parents. What is even more amazing though, is that this person that should have never walked and now runs marathons also shouldn't be alive. She was born during a 'saline-abortion' in her mother's third trimester.

God has a big light in this woman and everything she has overcome. You can find more at her website here.
