"Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life"

 Has anyone out there heard of Nick Vujicic?!!  He's not only the author of Life Without Limits, but also a man born without arms and legs.  God has done amazing work in this man's life and he's an inspiration to many people.  His book discusses the challenges he's dealt with throughout his entire life and how God continues to work in and through him.  If someone without limbs can swim, surf, and live life to the the fullest, then who can stop any of us from accomplishing our dreams?

He discusses his troubles as a child and an adolescent, living a frustrating life, to God showing him what his calling is.  This man is an amazing person who has a positive outlook on life when it would be real easy to have a "woe is me" attitude and become bitter.  However, he chooses the path God has laid out for him and truly wants to live a "ridiculously good life."

You can tell Nick is a motivational speaker through his writing, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but his personality and love for Christ shines through.  He also has a non-profit organization called: Life Without Limbs

No one dreams of a child being born without limbs, and it is very rare.  This man has taken this huge obstacle(one that many people said was impossible) and turned it into a way to inspire everyone around him.

Review: God Loves Me More Than That

This is a children's book that rhymes and talks about how much God loves us.  Really expressing the expanse of God's love.

How much love does God have for me?
More than the letters between A and Z
More than the bumbles in a bumble bee.
God loves me more than that! 

My 2 1/2 year old daughter has had me read this multiple times to her.  The last time I read it to her, she was hugging herself and smiling.  It was as if she was soaking in God's love through the words of the book.  

I think this book is great to start the discussion with children about how much God loves them.  And, as a parent reading this, it's also a good reminder for myself!
