Jodi Erickson's life has touched mine, through her testimony, since way back in my teens, and now on this spring day, with the sun shining on the flowers blooming in the garden, has touched me again, through your entry of this video clip this morning. I thank God for her life and witness, and thank Him for giving her the strength, and the means of fulfilling all that He had for her, to the glory of His grace, and His superintending care. * My thoughts were with you, turtletwo, this morning, when I wrote down these thoughts on paper You and I have been greatly blessed, through sunshine and shadow. By a gracious Heavenly Father's hand, with showers of blessing and the comfort of the warmth of the knowledge of His love and grace. With a mind filled with words of praise, for such superintending grace, and a heart warmed by the knowledge of the security and enveloping love which attends each passing day. Praise God! With love in Christ Jesus Chris Edited March 17, 2019 by Christine 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because for years now she has drawn all of her artwork with pencils and paint brushes between her teeth. Talk about patience that the Lord has brought into her life! And what a testimony towards her Savior Jesus Christ! Great testimony on Joni's life too in 1979 movie called "Joni" if some here have not seen it. After breaking her neck in a diving accident in 1967, the movie shows how the Lord guided and comforted Joni through her rough time in therapy as she adjusted to life as a quadriplegic. Her testimony continues to reach out to the lost in our generation today including many with disabilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
