Every Morning I wake up to the inspiration station on my dial and I hear Kathy Hughes say ” What’s your Reality?” Well, here is my reality: I am 46 soon to be 47-year-old mother & wife. I have a physical condition that has caused me to limp when I walk. I’ve had several surgeries over my life time starting from the time I was 12. I always thought that I wasn’t  good enough or pretty enough to be relevant in life, so I hid in the background. My reality was whatever issue that caused me to give up in life. My reality was this disability that I carried with me. I didn’t realize that my reality was really my perception and that God had designed me to be this way in order to work through me. One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible is how Paul struggled with his weakness in Corinthians 12:1-10. That describes me perfectly. God has the power to speak the opposite of who and what I am. My reality says though I am weak I am strong; my reality says that though I experience pain, God gives me pleasure which is beauty for my ashes. He says to me” My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” Once I accepted Jesus into my life, and understood finally what it really meant  to surrender all that I thought about myself , He showed me a new perception about Tanya. Let me be clear; it didn’t happen overnight! It has taken 40 + years of going around this mountain and I’m still coming across detours. The main thing is that I know now that it’s not my “Disability” but “His Ability” that allows me to succeed. That is my reality. To quote Kathy Hughes, ” What’s your Reality?”
