I\u2019ve never been good at Lent but each year I hope to better prepare for Easter, and this year I\u2019m reading some <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.woh.org\/2020\/12\/01\/my-grace-is-sufficient\/\" target=\"_blank\">devotionals by Steven Laman<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steven writes for a ministry called Words of Hope. You can read or listen to his story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woh.org\/2020\/12\/01\/my-journey-gods-grace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">My Journey, God\u2019s Grace<\/a>, available through their website. It\u2019s free and I think you\u2019d find it inspiring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBorn without enough oxygen, Steven Laman has lived with cerebral palsy his whole life. Steven and his family had to learn and adjust to his disability, and a different life than the one they had planned. But Steven\u2019s story is not a story of loss. It\u2019s a story of God\u2019s provision and abundant grace. In this book, Steven tells the funny, touching, and encouraging stories of God\u2019s guidance on the journey of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in disability and mission?
