Hands Off!
Part 2
As his family was Christian, Nick attended Sunday school when he was a boy. He was taught that God loves us all. Yet he could not understand if God loved him, why did He make him like this? Was it because of Nick had done something wrong? Or was he just a mistake by God?
There were still times when Nick felt depressed and angry because he could not change the way he was or blame anyone for that matter. He felt he was a burden to those around him. He even wanted to end his life.
Thank God that Nick’s parents and family supported and comforted him and gave him strength to continue.
A life-changing experience came when Nick was 15 years old. He gave his life to Jesus after reading a verse from the bible ( ) in which Jesus was asked whether a man blind from birth was due to the fact that he or his parents had done something wrong.
These verses spoke to Nick’s heart and convicted him to the point where he knew that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that “bad” things happen in our life. He felt complete peace knowing that God would not let anything happen to us in our life unless as a good purpose for it all.
Nick started to live life to his fullest potential and not let his handicap got in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams.

Today, Nick has completed his university degree. He is also a motivational speaker. Due to his emotional struggles he had experienced with bullying, low self esteem and loneliness, God has gave him a passion of sharing his story and experience to help other cope with whatever challenge they have in their life and let God turn it into a blessing. He is constantly encouraging and inspiring others to live to their fullest potential and not let anything get in the way of accomplishing their hopes and dreams!

Nick still has many dreams he has set and is striving for :
a) To be best witness he can be for God’s love and Hope
b) To be an international speaker
c) To be financially independent by the age of 25
d) To modify a card for him to drive
e) To be interview on Oprah Winfrey show
f) To finish his book “No Arms, No legs, No Worries!” by end of this year
