Hey, Friends 👋🏻 We’ve had a couple poignant (and painful) experiences lately that have reminded me of how important it is to shout this girl’s worth to the world. I have a lot of doubts about a lot of things… me, my words & abilities, the internet, social media, etc… but one thing I do not doubt is Lydia’s worth. I also believe in the capacity for people to change, because I have experienced that, myself. I was once a very ignorant person regarding those with disabilities… I often refer to gaining “new eyes” and often think of the song Amazing Grace: “I once was blind, but now, I see.” I think people like Lydia were sent here by God on purpose to help us see so many things that our natural eyes skip right on by. But there’s a literal training process; a paradigm shift that has to happen. And it starts by noticing, then KNOWING, first in your heart and then in your every action, that these people—all people—are of great worth. I’m going to be shouting that a little louder, now, because I’ve been blessed to both SEE and KNOW. #misslydiefaith
