Nino’s Mission

Going Through Trials With Gods Strength

December 26th, 2006

 

Hello again! I’m very pleased to see that YOU are EXCITED to hear the topic of discussion in today’s blog! Well, so am I, so why don’t we jump right into it! Well you’ve already read some of my goals behind MY MISSION in previous blogs, so lets discuss another shall we? I sincerely hope that YOU’LL  have your ears WIDE OPEN, because I guarantee that you’ll look at your life situations with a COMPLETLEY different point of view! I know ONE thing - it sure has for ME, and I give THANKS to GOD for allowing ME to see MY life in a WHOLE new light!

Are your ears tuned in?

Here we go!

I sincerely feel that I wouldn’t be where I’m at today in my life, if it weren’t for God! He has been by my side when I’ve had to go through INCREDIBLE trials that HE has put in front of me throughout out my life! God would no doubt put MY WILL and FAITH to a HUGE test to see how MUCH I could endure, and trust in HIM! I want to share with you ONE trial that I was faced with, that would COMPLETLEY change my LIFE FOREVER!

It ALL happened on that ONE faithful day, when MY life changed in a blink of an eye! I went from being able to walk and jump with my friends, to having to walk with the aid of crutches! I know what your’re thinking, NINO what happened! Well this was why I wanted you to have your ears WIDE OPEN, because I’m about to tell you!

When I was born my feet were turned in too much, but I could still walk so it was no BIG deal for me. On the other hand, it seemed to be a BIG deal with my doctor! He stated, “We can EASILY correct your feet so they’ll be turned to a normal position.” So after discussing it with my parents, we decided why not, if it’s going to help me walk better!

So on the day of the surgery I prayed to God and asked him to give me strength,and that HE would watch over me and the surgery would be a success! Well I don’t think I prayed hard enough, the doctor ended up cutting the WRONG BONE! As a result it ended up turning my feet out forty-five degrees too much, and saying to HIM, “What does this mean? Am I still going to be able to walk?” Are YOU ready for HIS reponse? “NINO I’m truly sorry, but there is nothing WE can do to correct it. You will be unable to walk on your own EVER without the aid of crutches”!

I thought that this was all a BAD DREAM, and I was going to wake up and everything would be fine! Well that wasn’t the case - it was reality - and MY WHOLE LIFE HAD CHANGED!

The point I’m trying to make is simple: You’ve read ALL my blogs to this POINT (at least I hope YOU have!) In ANY of those blogs, have YOU heard that I ever QUIT, or for that I ever made EXCUSES for what GOD has given me? That’s right - the answer is NO!! GOD has been MY strength through out MY TRIALS, in my life that I have faced even to this VERY day! For that, I THANK GOD for blessing MY LIFE in such a way that HE has allowed me to see through MY disability! Also how HE will use ME and my accomplishments that I’ve acheived with HIS strength, to show YOU and others that the trials we ALL go through will only bring POSITIVE RESULTS when the dust clears!

It’s that time again! I’m going to ask you that same question! How have you been dealing with your TRIALS that God has given YOU? I CERTAINLY hope your’re going to tell me that YOU gave in and QUIT! It is NOT an option that you have ANYMORE, because I will NOT STOP until I teach YOU and everyone else I can how to do it the NINO WAY! In case you’ve forgotten what that is, let ME help you again: NO EXCUSES!!

GOD NEVER gives us more than we can handle in our LIVES, NO matter how TOUGH the trials become!!  HE is ALWAYS willing to help us through them, God’s GRACE is ALWAYS sufficient! In the end the trials WILL ONLY make us ALL STRONGER, both physically and mentally! I know for ME they have, and I’ll continue to get STRONGER with each trial that GOD brings my way!

I sincerely hope this has helped YOU in how to go about facing your trials from this day forward. If it hasn’t, then let ME give you some advice, I hope your ears are still tuned in… It’s simple: YOU can’t go through TRIALS ALONE, YOU need GOD in your corner! I know who I have in MY corner! How about YOU??
