My name is Jasper and I live my life today as a quadriplegic. Before my accident in April of '09 I was a very active guy. I used to like to visit my daughters often, as well as a host of friends that I have. I used to love to accompany a minister friend of mine and we would go various places, various homes, hospitals, and special visits to friends and pray for them. I also had a job when I lived in Arkansas, and the job required me to be very active. You can imagine how I must have felt with my life coming to a sudden standstill. It was quite a blow for me at first, but slowly I began to adjust because I knew "why get upset over something I can't do anything about?" I'm a big believer that God will always place you where you need to be. He placed me at a very nurturing rehab facility and slowly with the help of the staff I began to feel like a normal person again. They taught me how to mix in with other people again. I learned that if you want the victory you do have to pay some dues. I love to attend my therapy sessions- they urge me to go out into society such as going to the movies, to the mall, and especially family visits. They taught me how to be a whole person again instead of a broken man in a wheelchair. So if you have some type of physical affliction, don't give up! You must press on towards your goal and remember, God always puts you right where you need to be and he gives you the tools to do what you have to do.
So my name is Jasper, and I am a quadriplegic. Have a blessed day.
