LIFE WITHOUT LIMBS

LIFE WITHOUT LIMBS

F
According to Nick, the victory over his struggles, as well as his strength and passion for life today, can be
credited to his faith in God.
His family, friends and the
many people he has encountered along the journey have
inspired him to carry on, as well.

Since his first speaking engagement at age 19, Nick has traveled around the world, sharing his story with millions,
sometimes in stadiums filled to capacity, speaking to a range of diverse groups such as students, teachers,
young people, business professionals and church
congregations of all sizes.

Nick Vujicic is  an author, musician, actor, and his hobbies include fishing, painting and swimming. [And if I
may add – Nick is also a doting husband and father - married Kanae Miyahara in 2012 and fathered Kiyoshi in
2013]

Years ago, Nick Vujicic, the young evangelist, shared his doubts that he’ll ever meet someone special:
There were times when I sort of looked at my life and said I can’t do this and I can’t do that.
You keep on concentrating on the things that you wished you
had  and all the things you wished you didn’t have that you sort of forget what you do have.

When I was 8 years old, I sort of summed up my life and
I thought I’m never gonna get married, I’m not gonna have a job, , I’m not gonna have a life of purpose…
What kind of a husband can I be when I can’t even hold
my wife’s hand?…but I realised that I may not have the
hands to hold my wife’s hand but when the time comes I will be able to hold her heart. I don’t need hands to hold her heart.

For the now 30-year-old Nick, founding president and CEO of the nonprofit organization Life Without Limbs,
the most important thing in life was to understand why God made him without arms and legs.

The inspirational speaker said he
spent eight years asking God, "Why? Why was I born this way? I don't understand how can You say You love
me when You allow me to stay in this pain."

NICK Vujicic, who has been living in California since 2007, was
born in Brisbane, Australia. His parents – Pastor Boris Vujicic and nurse Dushka Vujicic – were not given any
medical explanation or warning about his birth with neither arms nor legs.

But Nick got the answer to his
desperate prayers. John 9:1-3 spoke to him in a special way. The New
Testament portion reads: "As he (Jesus) went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him,
'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was
born blind?' 'Neither this man nor his parents sinned,'
said Jesus, 'but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.'"
