Jordan's Poem
Our beautiful daughter Jordan recently wrote the following poem. She even submitted it to Brio Magazine and they are going to post it online. (She finally let me post it here)
For anyone who doesn't know Jordan she is 14 yrs. old and was born with Spina Bifida.
Just the way I am
Its not so bad
Being different
Its not easy
But I'm used to it
Its all I've ever had
Sure, I've been teased
And I've felt the stares
But I've also felt the love
Of the ones who really care
Sometimes I wish I could change
But don't you think it would be boring
If we were all the same
We'd have nothing to talk about
Nothing to do
Its not easy being different
But its better to just be you
I can't do all the things others can
But I don't mind so much anymore
Because I know I am safe in His hands
He has a plan for me
Even when it seems hopeless
I know there is a reason He made me like this
There is nothing wrong with me,
Its not a DISability,
Its just a DIFFERENT ability
I wish people could understand,
Its not something I despise
I am perfect in His eyes
Just the way I am.
Love and Hugs,
Jordan

You are beautiful and God has given you a wonderful ability to share your thoughts with words! Hum, maybe you'll be a writer?

Jordan,
I loved reading your poem and can't wait to see you and family while you are back in the states and especially at New Heights! Give all your family a hug for me.
We love you.
Jordan, you are such a beautiful person. As I read your poem I saw you standing straight and tall with pride in the Lord, and the beauty of his radiance reflecting from you. The Lord is sure to use your poem to strengthen and encourage many.
Have a wonderful trip to the States!!!!
Love, Ms. Terrie
That's a beautiful poem, Jordan. I just found your blog through an email your dad sent. I'll be praying for you and your family as you go back to the U.S. for awhile. Que Dios le bendiga.
